Scammers using the 313 area code often threaten victims with arrest or pose as Apple Support technicians. They use fear or fake technical issues to trick you into sending money or granting access to your computer.
Callers claiming to be from the Social Security Administration or law enforcement threaten residents in the Detroit area with immediate arrest for "fraudulent activities running in the state of Michigan" and claim your Social Security Number has been suspended. They threaten warrants for your arrest, mention the FBI or your local sheriff getting involved, and demand your SSN to "verify" your identity. They use your personal information to commit identity theft and open fraudulent accounts in your name. The Social Security Administration never calls with arrest threats.
"Claimed that my SSN was involved in a scam... MSG: 'OK suspension notice you have received against your Social Security number regarding some fraudulent activities running in the state of Michigan so we need to talk to you as soon as possible.'"
A recorded message claiming to be from Apple Support calls you relentlessly, 5 to 20 times per day, with calls coming minutes or seconds apart, falsely stating that your Apple products have been compromised. The calls target people even if they do not own any Apple products. They use the panic to trick you into calling back so they can gain remote access to your computer, install malware, or sell you worthless services. Apple does not make unsolicited support calls about compromised devices.
"Continued calls to my work phone - usually 5 to 10 minutes apart. No option to Opt Out of Call. Recorded message from Apple Support saying my Apple products are compromised. I don't have any Apple Products here."
An automated robocall claims you are a "registered customer" for a computer service about to renew automatically, warning that "$399.00 will be deducted from your account" and pressuring you to call a specific number to "stop or cancel the payment." They use the fake charge threat to get your credit card or bank information when you call back. No legitimate service uses threatening robocalls for renewals.
"robo call Dear Customer this call is in regards to the renewal of your computer services as you are registered customer $399.00 will be deducted from your account as renewal charges if you wish to stop or cancel the payment please call us at our customer care number..."
Callers posing as debt collectors from agencies like "Washington Recovery" or "Midwest Recovery" attempt to collect on old, expired, or completely fake debts, often knowing personal information like the last four digits of your Social Security number. They refuse to provide a company name or mailing address, threaten to serve papers at your workplace, and pressure for immediate phone payments on debts many years old, even past Michigan's 6-year statute of limitations. They use any payment to restart the debt collection clock and steal your banking information. Real debt collectors must provide written validation within five days.
"The lady knew my name and last 4 of my SS#. She was calling me about a debt from 2012 and claimed the last payment was 2016 which I know is not true...In Michigan debt statue of limitations is 6 years for debt. She wanted me to make a payment so they could start the debit over."
Scammers spoof phone numbers and pretend to be from trusted local Detroit companies like Quicken Loans, DTE, and Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan, using real employee names like "Mike Woods" and claiming to call for surveys, mortgage discussions, or prescription reviews. They ask you to "confirm" sensitive information they should already have and provide different callback numbers than on your official statements. They use your personal information for identity theft and fraud. Real companies already have your information on file.
"313.373.1215 - Said they were with my Mortgage company Quickenloans. Didn't give any personal information but as soon as I hung up I received 4 robo calls. And the agent who said he'd prepare a new Interest rate never called back it must be a scam"
A robocall threatens that your government benefits like "food stamps" are about to expire, claiming to be from the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services or Q Link Wireless, telling you to "press 1" to keep benefits active. In some cases, the scammer hijacks your phone to make it appear one of your own phone numbers is calling another, and they use outdated terms like "food stamps" instead of Bridge Card. They steal your personal information to fraudulently claim benefits in your name. State agencies communicate through official mail, not robocalls demanding immediate action.
"Somehow this number (313)483-7071 hit both my phones simultaneously with the 313 I'd showing on one phone and then my other was myself calling from my first phone!!! How the heck can they do that? It just said press 1 if you wish to keep these benefits..."
Callers claiming to be from "Pharmacy Services" or "Medical Supply," often with heavy foreign accents, know personal details like your name or that you are diabetic and attempt to sell unwanted medical supplies like back braces, claiming they work "on behalf of Medicare" to trick you into giving them your Medicare number. They ask you to confirm your doctor's name or Medicare number to bill Medicare fraudulently using your stolen information. To report unwanted Medicare-related calls, contact 1-800-MEDICARE. Medicare never calls to sell you products.
"They have been calling my cell and the house twice daily...When you answer there is a pause then someone asks for So and So says this is a personal business matter...they was from Diversified something or another."
