I received a similar call, regarding a fraudulent check case. However, I called the bank and was forwarded to several collection agencies and then finally redirected to a different phone number for this same "law firm." I'm pretty sure that it is legitimate or I would not have been redirected to their firm.
Some guy left a voicemail claiming to be from the law offices of Mossberg and Associates, then went on to say I was a defendant in a fraudulent check case involving my name and social security number. Same guy somehow found my mother's phone number and left a similar message on her machine, demanding my contact info. After not being able to locate such a law firm in Angola, NY (phone number prefix) I called back - a very aggressive male answered the phone. He demanded my "case number." When I responded that I did not have it on hand, he screamed "how the hell am I supposed to know what you're calling about?" I then asked him to provide me with a website or other mode of verification for his "law firm." His response was "We do not contact business online."
Ok. [***].
I'd like to know of a single ambulance chasing firm ANYWHERE - let alone the hell hole that is Angola, NY -- that cannot afford to have a digital media presence to attract potential clients. I then told him that he was clearly part of some scam and that if he called either me or my family again, I'd sue the living [***] out of him. The last words I heard before hanging up were..."Sir, you don't know what you're talking about." Sure I don't, bud.

I don't know about anyone else in here but it seems to me like people are nervous to get involved. Don't simply ignore the calls. If you want scammers like this to be stopped, REPORT THEM to the FBI. I did.
like one of the prior posts above stated .....he was redirected from client to law office ... how can it not be legit... just be a respectable human being ...answer the phone ...listen to why the person is calling you and then make a decision ....good or bad your decision is your own fault ...legal action sucks i know it first hand ....but running away from problems makes your life worse ...and if it has not made it worse yet ....it will happen in the future....law of averages
