I got a recorded message on my Google VOice line: here's the transcript delivered by Google.

The very second you receive this message. You need to leave your work
aside and dial at 240-203-6464 so that we can discuss about your case
and take necessary action on this matter. If we don't hear from you,
then we will be forced to take legal action against you kindly call us
back at 240-203-6464.

Now, I'm as gullible as the next guy, and I would make that call - if
I had a burner phone handy or if I were willing to reveal what number
Google Voice forwards my calls to.

But, this is more a thought-experiment for the lawyers out there. If
you want a laugh, dial away. Please report your impressions.

Bill
