It’s becoming more frequent, especially with scammers mixing physical mail and digital tricks. A neighbor once got a letter saying he owed money to a court he’d never dealt with. The seals looked real, but the contact number led nowhere. He reported it, and the police confirmed it was a scam.

The key is staying calm, checking official records, and reporting suspicious documents immediately to avoid falling into traps.
