Someone called my cell phone, with no caller ID available, looking for someone who doesn't live here but who is someone I know. Saying they tried to deliver documents (been home all day) but now that person has 2 hours to call this number, or they will begin proceedings. Don't fall for this crap, people. Arrest records are public, and anyone can get that information and call you with threats about unpaid fines, court costs, etc,. It may be something old you've forgotten about or maybe your spouse, child, or other loved one who you don't want to have trouble or you want to take care of it for them. These scammers will tell you that they can take care of it over the phone with a credit card. Real courts, lawyers, and legal authorities will send these sorts of things by snail mail or registered mail. Ask for the person's name, badge or ID and the specific thing they care calling about, and the entity they are calling for. Don't use any phone numbers they may give you, you will just end up speaking with their accomplice. Usually they will hang up at this point, but if they don't, tell them you will call the courthouse or whatever and arrange for payment yourself, thank them, and hang up. Don't forget to block the caller

Received a text from this number about an item I had posted for sale on Craigslist. Payment offered was by PayPal or certified check. I replied ââ¬Åin person, cash onlyââ¬Â and conversation ended. Other wording was characteristic of spam.
