Who called from 5045355920

Called indicated name was Steve Mawson (Martin?) and unless I returned the call that I could be in trouble with a bunch of different court actions.  A similar call at a different number was also reported by other family members.  Caller could barely speak English.

was left message by a man with strong foreign accent said i would be in trouble and have to go before a magistrate or federal court if i did not respond.

Same message as the one posted by others above.  Very irritating to receive this type of garbage every day by various different callers.

Probably Steve Martin. These scammers love to use real stars and celebrity names no matter if they are dead or alive!  Most of these calls are coming out of India and Pakistan.

Do consider getting a call blocking device or phone.. You can google them and many are around $40.00 or so.If its a cell phone, some already have call blocking, if not, there are free apps on the web that will work for some. You can google this. If you have a smart phone, there is a free app called call control. Iphones appear to have apps also. Another one is called Mr. Number.
