The 513 area code is seeing a wave of fake process server threats and Social Security suspension calls. Impostors claim you are facing a lawsuit or that your government benefits have stopped to steal your personal data.
Threatens to serve legal papers at your workplace and contact HR regarding vague "pending matters" to extort money.
"Two pending matters. Unfortunately, because I am unable to reach you by phone, I may be actively pursuing you at your place of employment and your residence... you have the right to contact the client to resolve your case file voluntarily, but do understand, when you are located, you forfeit that right."
Threatens SSN suspension due to criminal activity and demands payment via gift cards or wire transfer to reinstate it.
"left a message that there were legal proceedings against my social security which was involved in a crime. Threatening to suspend my Social Security number."
Aggressively attempts to collect non-existent or decade-old bank debts using deep personal data and threats of wage garnishment.
"They said that I owed a debt from 2012 from 5/3 bank and I had supposedly been served the paperwork from the sheriff (which I never was). They had my social, former addresses, place of employment, ex-husband and current husband's names, just way to much info for comfort."
Uses spoofed local numbers to repeatedly call about expiring car warranties, refusing to provide company names.
"This company is annoying and horrible. They call me every day about my warranty expiring soon, and the car is brand new. I have told them many times to stop calling me."
Asks "Can you hear me?" to record a "yes," then attempts to bill Medicare for unneeded back braces or DNA kits.
"Constantly calling trying to sell braces for back and knee. Have requested that I be placed on the no-call list and all I get is a guy laughing and telling me he will continue to call."
Sends texts or robocalls with malicious links about fake $499 Apple software or $82 Best Buy charges.
"Got a text saying suspicious activity on my Bank of America card in Texas. Link to click which I did not. Verified with Bank of America was scam."
Cold-calls properties with accurate names/addresses pushing lowball cash offers after claiming they mailed a letter recently.
"Got a voicemail from a lady named Georgia saying she wanted to pay cash for my house. Said she had sent a letter a couple days ago."
