A persistent scam?

[Cartoonist]

Or am I in trouble?

Every day I get the same phone call. My phone identifies it as a possible scam, so I never answer it. They always then leave a message. They say there is a complaint against me and I need to call them back to rectify it.

They never identify themselves or tell me the nature of the complaint. I never respond. This has been going on for months.

1. 100% scam. n/t

[CurtEastPoint]

2. let me guess: from 210 area code? Scam.

3. The only bigger scam out there

4. Legal complaints (civil) are delivered on old-fashioned paper...

usually by registered mail or by a process server at your door. Phone contacts are 100% scam, with the possible exception of debt collection, but those are also ultimately handled via documents. No worries; keep ignoring it.

5. K and R-Not months, but years..& it works with some people..if it didn't work, they wouldn't use it

.......It works...Scammers have limited time..they use what works..Is that correct?
........I think on this one, they want ..."Personal Information"

......It works on a certain number of people....a few...that is enough ...

6. I'm sure it's completely serious,

if it weren't for those kinds of helpful calls, I might never have found out there is something wrong with my social security number, I've won the Lithuanian lottery, the IRS is after me and won't give up, and my unwarrantied car is about to fall apart.

7. I called one of those back once.

The guy answers and says he says hello this is bob. I answer, this is detective Murry, what did you call me about. Never got another one.

8. Continue to ignore the call. Have you tried blocking that number?

[dameatball]

9. I used to get those calls too. Send me $10 and I will tell you how I ended them....:)

Actually, I still get them once in a while so I just ignore them. Sometimes they are for someone named "Tanya" who I don't know and had never heard of. If I ever meet her I won't loan her any money.

10. Reverse search the phone number.

May take a few pages of junk-search results to sift through, but I've always been able to identify questionable numbers within ten minutes by doing so.

11. Scam. Scam Scam

Real warrants do not generate endless phone calls. Or any phone calls.

Just block the number

[pecosbob]

12. I've been getting regular calls from a number marked 'Spam Likely' for about fifteen years

It's an automobile warranty scam.

[Cartoonist]

13. Thanks for the response

They ended today's call saying it was the last one.
I'm skeptical.

15. Apparently my car warranty has been about to expire ever since I bought a car 6 years ago.

Luckily I get one final chance to save it about once month for the last 6 years if I just call that number - which changes every time so I can't even block it.

14. SCAM, block the #.

I have blocked many BS scam texts and scam likely callers.

Official business is in writing (aka. via snail mail) for a reason?

16. They use a different number every time.

[Brainfodder]

17. Well there you have it, block them all!

I answer my phone about twice a month, the other whatever dozens are blocked or ignored.

So out of 100 typical contacts in a month, 2 are legit. (family)

You are not alone, it's been going on a decade+ for us.

18. Everyone Has Already Given Good Advice

No organization of any authority calls and leaves threatening, nonspecific messages.
You'd be notified by mail or a summons delivery.
As others said, continue to ignore it.
They're programming will quit calling after a while. Those programs are designed to know when they're merely leaving a voicemail. If people never respond, they'll quit calling.
