Number overview
03-6705-0713 is reported as a scam call posing as a law firm and demanding payment of bogus debts. The "firm" may not actually exist.
Reported tactics
- The caller claims, "This is Law Firm XX. We're contacting you about an unpaid amount"

How to handle this call

Search the lawyer's name on the Japan Federation of Bar Associations' official website. If they don't exist, it's a scam.
