Got the same call. Very threatening and wouldn't/couldn't speak to any details regarding a lawsuit that was getting filed in the morning. Kept saying to get a good lawyer.
Foreign men claiming to be a paralegal and an attorney, stating I must be registered for a court case pending against me from 2008. Stated they had an affadavit in front of them. Very threatening and unable to answer simple questions when asked for clarifying details. Seems like a major scam but they pushed hard to convince me otherwise. Called back after I said I didn't feel comfortable giving out any personal information and hung up.
They obviously don't have a clue how the American court system works. When a person testifies in writing and swears to that statement, that is an affidavit. Court cases wouldn't be "pending" from 2008. They push hard in order to scare you into paying them (extortion).
