Imagine receiving a voicemail that claims a lawsuit or debt notice from a so‑called Bar Resolution Group, urging you to call a different number to “stop” the action. This is a classic scam that pretends to be a legal or process server to create urgency. Never share personal or financial data over the phone, and don’t trust a recorded message as proof of a real case. Instead, verify the claim by contacting the court or the actual creditor directly using known contact details. Block the offending number, report it to the FTC or your state consumer agency, and consider a call‑blocking app for future protection.
The voicemail from Richmond Mediation Services employed typical scare tactics, claiming a pending action or complaint required immediate response, despite the fact that I owe no debts and regularly monitor my credit reports

I belive i recieved a similiar call, the woman was extreemly rude and didnt even disclose the purpose, mentioning civil complaint litigation and adressing me by my maiden name.

The FTC's lack of jurisdiction over debt collectors raises questions about their actions
Your advice is completely misguided and inaccurate.
This call is undoubtedly a scam, targeting people with financial hardships, and the best course of action is to not respond and consider changing your phone number to avoid further harassment
This is a blatant scam, as legitimate debt collection requires a written notice with a 30-day dispute period, which this caller failed to provide, and the numbers they used are suspicious.
Numerous calls were made to my daughter's phone in another state, despite having no outstanding bills, which strongly suggests a scam.
