Report of a new phone scam - fake bailiffs phoning people to say they're on their way to collect a debt resulting from a court case. A phone number of a local court is given for the person to phone to check the legitimacy of what the bailiff is saying. The court phone line is also fake.
The two examples in the article are both people who run a small business and the supposed debt was for unpaid advertising, so it sounded plausible. Perhaps the scammers are targeting specific people they research first. But be wary anyway.
