A persistent scam? [View all]

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.
