Scam Description
I was contacted by an unknown phone number and let the call go to voicemail. I was left a voicemail by someone claiming to be a “Melanie Jackson” with a claim number claiming a lawsuit or complaint was made against me, stating they would contact my work to confirm my location, she mentioned 3 supposed crimes I had committed, and told me if I didn’t contact their office that I could be arrested. They contacted my mother questioning my whereabouts so that court papers could be served. This happened on 3/7/2024, and to this date, I have had no papers served to me. They insisted on starting a repayment plan, so me trying to avoid jail time, agreed to it. They have since gotten $960 out of me.
