"Same thing every time. Time is running out to get a free knee or back brace through Medicare. If I don't act soon Medicare will deny my request"
"Can you hear me okay? They want you to say yes so they can sign you up for something with a fraudulently acquired affirmative answer."

Phone numbers with area code 231 originate from the northwestern portion of the Lower Peninsula of Michigan, centered around the western half of the territory generally defined as Northern Michigan. It also includes Muskegon, which is part of West Michigan. Additionally, the 231 area code uniquely serves Bois Blanc Township, located in the Upper Peninsula.
No, 231 is a legitimate Michigan area code covering the western and northern Lower Peninsula, including Muskegon and Traverse City. Scammers spoof it to reach western Michigan residents with numbers that look local.
Medicare schemes threatening that back brace eligibility or cancer screening coverage will expire immediately are the most common pattern here. SSA legal action robocalls, fake debt collection lawsuits threatening sheriff delivery, and car warranty calls spoofing local town names like Wolverine appear with regularity.
