Unexpectedly, many recipients report identical voice‑mail scripts from a caller claiming to be John Thomas of a legal processing firm. The pattern points to a classic debt‑collector scam that relies on intimidation and vague legal threats. Never share personal or banking details, and insist on a written debt validation notice mailed to your address before engaging further. Use your phone’s built‑in call blocker or a third‑party app to stop repeat calls, and consider filing a complaint with the FTC and your state attorney general. Keep records of every interaction, and if you suspect fraud, report the number to your carrier and local law‑enforcement.
