It looks like +19702893533 is a hotbed for scam activity, primarily in the form of text messages. The caller often identifies themselves as someone from the "mediation department," using names like Margaret Wells, Thomas Hughes, or Robert Whitman, and insists that you call a provided number immediately. These texts are often sent to multiple family members, adding a layer of urgency and pressure. The scams can vary, from debt collection to more generic threats like wage garnishment and bank account closures. If you receive such a message, the best course of action is to ignore it and report the number to your phone carrier or the FTC. Don’t give out any personal information, and definitely don’t call the number they provide. Stay vigilant and protect yourself from these scammers.
