    Some Law Firm
    They call daily for years. Pretty sure they left a message the cops would be coming over if I didn't pay that day. Anyway, talked to a guy. He said he was calling about past due taxes but needed me to confirm my Social Sec. #. He could only give me a partial. I wouldn't give it to him. Then he wanted my mailing address. I said if he is collecting for taxes, he should have my mailing address. He gave an address from 20 years ago. Strongly suspecting a scammer. Always have these type of people put it in writing and mail it to you if the already know your address.

    I received a series of texts from this number every other day. It started with a story of a lonely elderly person wanting to adopt a cat. The person claimed that my friend Susan (whom I don't have) gave them my number and said I could help since I was a kind and religious person. This follows a pattern of many other scam texts I have received from different numbers. Eventually, the tone of the text turned belligerent, stating that it's a shame Susan has a friend like me. These awful scammers!
