Lots of Scam Calls Today - One to watch out for... [View all]

Last edited Fri Sep 5, 2025, 06:14 PM - Edit history (1)

Busy day. I have blocked/deleted several scam calls in the last few hours. Of course, I never answer anything not programmed in, as any legitimate business will leave a message. So here is a message I received today that I will NOT be returning:

"This message is solely intended for [my full name]. Regarding file number 2025-JAX-2[xxxxxx] in reference to the address on [my address]... [part did not transcribe]... If you have any questions or need to reschedule the delivery, you will need to contact the firm directly at 855-622-0085 and reference your file number. Please be advised this call has been logged and submitted as proof that you have been notified of this pending matter. Have a good day... "

There was more in the voice mail, but above was all that transcribed to text. Said something about [their supposed name] being a private firm contracted to deliver legal papers, blah, blah, blah.

Oh yeah, and totally computer generated, with "fill-in-the-blanks" voicing for my name and address.

Just a heads up to fellow DUers to be careful
