Residents with 925 numbers often receive Social Security legal threats and text messages pretending to be friends. Scammers use these tactics to steal your identity or get you to click on dangerous links.
A robocall using a computerized voice claims that "legal enforcement action has been filed on your Social Security number" due to fraudulent activity. The caller threatens to "disable my SS#" and demands you call back immediately to prevent legal action. The caller identifies as "john smith" but has a heavy accent. They use your callback to fish for personal information and Social Security numbers. The Social Security Administration never calls people with threats, they contact you through U.S. Mail.
"Received a robo call stating that my social security number was involved in a security breach. That I needed to call this number back or legal action would be taken."
A texter pretends to be an old friend from high school or college, using their real name from your social media profiles. They start casual conversation before asking for personal information like where you work, your address, or pictures of your house. If you question them or refuse, they turn extremely vulgar and threatening. They harvest your personal data from these conversations for identity theft. Scammers find your friends' names from public social media or data breaches to make the impersonation credible.
"When I called him out for fraud, he called me a c*nt and said he hopes I get raped. BLOCK IMMEDIATELY DO NOT ENGAGE."
Callers like "Tod Flone" use an automated voice to announce you've won a large prize, such as $1.5 million from Publishers Clearing House. They ask for your Social Security number, bank account details, or demand you send a cash payment to cover supposed "taxes" on your winnings. They use your bank information to drain your accounts or your upfront payment to disappear completely. Publishers Clearing House surprises major winners in person with a camera crew. They never call ahead and never ask for fees or taxes.
"Tried to scam my elderly mother. Tried to get credit card numbers and PINs as well as a large cash payment for 'taxes' for the $2.5M she had won from Publisher's Clearinghouse"
A recorded message states a "claim has been filed against you" and demands you call back immediately. They identify themselves as the "consumer processing division (SDC)" or claim to be from "Alameda County Location Services." The caller refuses to state who they are, claiming "Federal Laws do not allow them to provide why they are calling," and threatens to contact your payroll department or have you arrested over a non-existent debt. They use any personal information you confirm to create fake debts in your name. Real process servers do not call first, they show up.
"Said they had tried to serve papers to the listed address this morning... Said they would try one more time to serve debt collection paper before it is out of their hands. Scam for sure."
A robocall claims a computer service or PC protection subscription is ending and you're owed a refund, or that your account will be automatically debited $299 or $499 for a renewal. They insist you must press 1 and get on your computer to process the refund. They use this trick to gain remote access to your computer and steal your files, passwords, and banking information. Legitimate companies process refunds directly to your original payment method without needing computer access.
"Got robo call to hit #1 to get refund of money charged for subscription for computer protection which I never authorized. Said I had to get on my computer to get refund by filling out a form he would email to me."
Callers pretend to be from PG&E or a "CA renewable energy program," with caller ID showing "P.G. and E." They offer a free "A/C tune up" or say they need to get into your home to "check your appliances heater and such," but hang up when questioned. The caller claims to be from PG&E but uses a cell phone number. They use home visits to case your house for burglary or pressure you into buying overpriced solar panels and services.
"Call came on caller ID as P.G. and E. (Pacific Gas and Electric). When I answered they asked for my husband by name. I told them he wasn't in...they hung up. This was not P.G.and E. calling...scam!"

No, 925 is a fully functional California area code representing the East Bay region, primarily Concord and Livermore. Extortionists and scammers manipulate caller IDs to display this local prefix, betting that East Bay residents will answer what looks like a familiar number.
Scammers ruthlessly exploit the East Bay housing market and local utilities to execute door to door and telemarketing frauds. Criminals routinely spoof PG&E to schedule bogus air conditioning tune ups in an attempt to case homes, while phantom debt collectors falsely claim to be from Alameda County Location Services to extort victims over nonexistent civil complaints.
The numbering plan area includes southeastern Alameda County (Dublin, Pleasanton, Livermore, Sunol, and unincorporated areas surrounding those communities), and all of Contra Costa County except the western part (El Cerrito to Crockett).
Area code 925 is a general purpose code which was placed in service on March 14, 1998.
