A:
I'm sorry you're going through this stressful situation. First, it's important to verify the legitimacy of the email. Check the company's official website and contact information to see if they match the details in the email. Be cautious of any unsolicited communications, especially those demanding immediate action or personal information.
Since the business you mentioned is no longer operating and you’ve never heard of Carmichael & Frost before, it's possible this could be a scam. Avoid clicking on any links or providing any information until you’re certain it's genuine. Scammers often use threats to intimidate and pressure individuals into responding.
Consider reaching out to a legal advisor or a consumer protection agency for guidance. They can help you understand your rights and the proper steps to take if the threat is real. Additionally, reporting the email to relevant authorities can help prevent others from falling victim to similar scams.
