Lately I’ve been getting strange calls demanding payment for debts I don’t recognize. What should I do in this situation?

You might be dealing with debt collector scams, where scammers impersonate legitimate agencies to pressure quick payments. Never share personal or financial information until you verify the debt in writing. Ask for official validation, contact your original creditor, and report suspicious collectors to the FTC or Consumer Financial Protection Bureau for protection and investigation.
