Block the number and keep a written record of every call. Never share personal or banking info with anyone who pressures you over the phone, especially if they claim to represent a law firm without providing a license number. Answering calls isn’t required; let them leave a voicemail and verify the agency through official channels. If the calls persist, file a complaint with the FTC, your state attorney general, and the Better Business Bureau. Consider adding the number to your phone’s Do Not Call list and use call‑blocking apps. Staying silent and documenting the harassment are your best defenses against this aggressive debt‑collection scam.
