6 months ago
Received a WhatsApp message that a petty case was filed against me. (I was smoking but that wasn't mentioned in the message). They said i need to attend the court on so and so date. They have my name wrong and correct phone number. They asked me to bring Xerox of my Id. What do I do?
A.Dear Client,
Ensure that the WhatsApp message is genuine and not a hoax or scam. Try to confirm the source or check if any official correspondence was sent to your home address. If the message appears legitimate and specifies a court date, you should attend the court on the given date. Failing to do so can lead to legal consequences. Make sure to carry your identification, as requested.
