Turns out the same generic warning text is popping up on dozens of phones, and it’s not a legitimate agency at all. The messages usually claim to be from a “mediation department” or “dispute settlement division” and demand a call to a 833‑883‑2743 number. Never return the call or share personal details; scammers often have your name and partial SSN from data breaches. Block the offending numbers, file a complaint with the FTC and your state attorney general, and verify any alleged debt directly with the original creditor. Keep a log of the texts and share it with a consumer‑protection hotline for faster action.
