Narrative evidence

What happened

I am submitting this complaint regarding what I believe to be a fraudulent and extremely harassing series of telephone calls that occurred on September 14, 2026\. The caller initially contacted my mother and appeared to know the names of members of our family\. My mother gave me the message, and I returned the call\. During my conversation with the caller, he asked me to provide my date of birth\. I refused to give him this personal information\. He then claimed that the matter involved a lien on a property and told me that we would be going to court and that I was going to be summoned\. I told the caller that I did not recognize the alleged lien or property matter and that I had never received any paperwork, court documents, summons, or other official notice concerning such a matter\. When I attempted to ask for more information and verification, the caller would not provide satisfactory answers\. He hung up on me several times when I called back seeking clarification\. I eventually told the caller that I believed he was a scammer\. After that, the situation escalated dramatically\. I received approximately **136 telephone calls**, many appearing to come from different telephone numbers\. I ultimately blocked the calls\. I am particularly concerned because the caller had information about members of my family and attempted to obtain my date of birth while making threatening statements involving property liens, court proceedings, and a summons\. I am requesting that this incident be documented and investigated as possible telephone fraud, impersonation, attempted identity theft, and/or unlawful telephone harassment\. I can provide the telephone number I originally called, screenshots or call logs showing the repeated incoming calls, and any other information that may assist with an investigation\. Please contact me if additional information is required\.
