Legal Question in Civil Rights Law in California
I got a message in our answering machine looking for my Dad and me from 1-877-622-3286 stating that it's a time sensitive matter with a case reference # and i have to call before 10am or actions will be taken something like that but when i called it said that they're looking for my dad or my step mom and i said "whats that got to do with me?" she said my father listed me as a contact. when i asked what is this about the lady said it was a district 7 case and can't go into detail. So she asked where my father is and i told her i have no contact with my father because he left a long time ago but he used to live with us and then she asked for my step mom but we're not really close so i have no connection with her whatsoever she kept asking if i know where he is (if i do i would) but my dad haven't contacted us ever since he left and now the lady is saying that he has a court date in 2days and his failure to appear will lead to me getting a subpoena and testifying in his place. i told the lady "how am i suppose to testify on something i have no idea whats it about?" and she just said that is whats gonna happen and that she has another call and she hanged up.

They are bluffing you. You do not have to do anything.
