Just received a voice mail from this number. The man, very authoritative-sounding, stated that he is Dennis Baker with Pre-Trial Intervention and that I have a pending case in his office that demands my immediate attention. He needs to speak to either me or my attorney today. If he doesn't hear from my attorney today, then he will document that I have waived my right to counsel and will submit my case.
Nice try, but I'm not buyin' whatever this Dennis Baker is selling. I am an attorney; I know my rights. In a civil case, no one has the 'right to counsel' (ever hear of a public defender doing civil work? yeah, no), so documenting that I've waived my right to counsel is just a load of BS.
If you've gotten a call from this number, this is a scam. If you call back, you will be threatened and directed to pay $xxx via a money card (pre-paid VISA card type thing) or bank transfer. Do not fall for this! Don't call these people back!
