Law office please return urgent

I smell a spam

This is a scam. I've searched law office in GTA and there is no such law office with this number and the name "Deanna Natalia". Beware of this number. This is definitely a scam.

This is a scam. I will report this to the police ASAP. This people should be stopped.

got a call from them today, would not tell me what it was about just wanted my husband to call back. If it's a scam what should we do?

Got an odd call this evening about a case number...no details, just a callback number.  Called it back to Natale Law Offices???  Not sure why.

I have this recorded message calling me on both my house & cell phone every other day with the same stern male voice and citing a case number. It is obviously a huge scam but how are they getting away with it?

got the recorded message on one of our business lines at work also

Got this same message and recommendation on my answering machine. Called back to find a woman saying she was a Mrs. Adao and I should forward this message to my friend, who is the person that they seem to be looking for in the first place. Something's rotten in Denmark.......

Called me at the office! Said "press 1 now to speak to a lawyer". Probably is a scam, but one made by morons, as it is not obvious what the scam is.
