What is the difference in a real subpoena or summons and a scare tactic?

First of all courts do not use "scare tactics".
A court summons can be delivered by a process server, a sheriff, or registered mail, and will be appear similar to:
IN THE CIRCUIT COURT OF ("name of City, county and state").
"So and So" as Plaintiff VS John Doe as Defendant
Case or Docket Number ________
Division ___________
Court Date___________
And so on and so on, ending with the name of the attorney representing the plaintiff or the plaintiff's name if it is Pro Se.
And there will be an official state seal stamped on the bottom with the signature of the court clerk or deputy court clerk.
FYI. A civil summons does not require the defendent to appeal in court to answer the complaint. However, if said defendent does not appear he or she will lose the case by default and an judgment will be entered in favor of the plaintiff.
A criminal summons or a subpoena of any type is a direct order of the court for the person whose name appears on such to appear at the time and date indicated. Any person(s) not responding to such an order can be (and probably will be) charged with contempt and taken into custody by authorities to await a hearing on the matter. ALWAYS respond to a subpoena.

How do you answer a summons for a credit card debt?
First, make sure that the document you received is actually a summons to appear. A summons must contain a docket number and a court date. Many collection agencies or collection attorneys use a summons as a scare tactic, in order to get you to pay your defaulted amount. However, if it's an actual summons to appear, the last thing you want to do is not show up. If you don't appear, the plaintiff will get a default judgment from the court. With a judgment in their favor, they may garnish your wages or freeze your assets in order to collect on the defaulted amount.
If you receive a summons without a case number or a court seal is it official or a 'scare tactic'?
An official court summons will always have a heading such as : "Circuit Court of the state of ______ County of_______ (or something similar). It will also have: The date, the case (docket) number, the court number and Plaintiff: _________ vs. Defendant: _______ Lots of "legalese" in between and at the end, the offical seal and signature of the clerk of the court.
Why do scare tactic victims get bottled water?
To throw on the friend that set him/her up.
Can a collection agency foreclose on your house?
No, if you ever hear of it, it is just a scare tactic that some debt collection agencies use.

The use of fear to try and scare people into doing something or accepting a position?
Using fear to manipulate or coerce individuals into taking a certain action or adopting a specific belief is a form of psychological manipulation. This tactic can create a sense of urgency or desperation in individuals, leading them to make decisions based on fear rather than rational thinking or informed choices. It is unethical and undermines the principles of autonomy and free will.

Is principle credit management legit?
I don't think they are legit. First, the BBB has no business listing under that name, I checked it out because they contacted me. Secondly, it is impossible to find them on the internet or so it seems. Anyone calling that does not identify themselves and their location or using scare tactics is not worth dealing with. If you call the number they call themselves a legal agents. They are probably threatening to serving a summons on you but there is a process to that and nobody calls you to let you know when you are getting served, it is anintimidation tactic and it is illegal.
