I’ve received so many of these scam calls from fake authorities that I used to just hang up (now I don’t answer calls ever). One time I didn’t hang up because something felt weird. Turned out it was legit and I owed a $20 traffic ticket from years ago. I’m pretty certain it wasn’t a scam, maybe it was.

I would guess any traffic ticket that was only $20 was a great number of years ago…
It was smaller than that, some kind of bridge toll, then got multiplied by late payment up to that number
