Scammers using the 325 area code often threaten legal action regarding your Social Security number or offer fake cable discounts. They try to panic you or lure you in with deals to steal your financial information.
A robocall leaves a threatening voicemail claiming "legal enforcement action" has been filed against your Social Security Number for "fraudulent" or "criminal activities." The message demands you call back immediately before they "begin with the legal proceedings," threatens you'll be taken before a "grand jury" or "magistrate court," and urges you to speak with a "federal agent" or "federal officer." They use your call back to steal your Social Security Number and other personal information. The Social Security Administration never calls to threaten arrest or legal action. They communicate through U.S. Mail.
"The Department of Social Security Administration. The reason you have received this phone call from our department is to inform you that there is a legal enforcement action filed on your social security number for criminal activities. So when you get the message kindly call back at the earliest possible on our number...before we begin with the legal proceedings."
Scammers pretending to be from Spectrum, Comcast, DISH, or Mediacom offer massive discounts like 50% off for two years. Callers using names like "Michael John" or "Jason Roy" claim you need a "software upgrade" and must first mail a "security deposit" of $200-$300 via check or money order to a P.O. Box to lock in the new rate. They become extremely hostile and profane if you question them. They use your payment to steal your money and banking information. Legitimate companies apply credits directly to your account and never ask you to mail money to a P.O. Box.
"My 82 year old mother got a call from this number, claiming to be from Spectrum cable company, and they asked her to send a money order for $199 to a PO Box... When I called it back and spoke to him about it, I told him I thought it was a scam. He became irate, used extreme profanity, and threatened to come kill me and my mother."
Callers claiming to be from a company called "PNC" harass residents about supposed debts. These agents using names like "Jack Adams" or "Brad Michaels" are incredibly rude, call people liars, slam the phone down, call workplaces, refuse to provide information about the supposed debt, leave vague messages about a "file forwarded to my office for review," and demand you provide a "statement" over the phone by a specific deadline. They use any information you give them to steal your identity or demand fake payments. Real debt collectors must provide written validation of debts and cannot use abusive language. Their hostile behavior violates federal law.
"I am at a place of business and received a call for a former employee. When I informed him the employee no longer works here he called me a liar and slammed the phone in my ear. When I called back to speak to a supervisor, he repeated the same thing and accused me of playing games and slammed the phone again."
A robocall claims they have tried to reach you "numerous times" about your eligibility for "top of the line braces" or genetic testing, creates false panic by stating it is your "final notice," and threatens that if you don't act soon "Medicare will label you ineligible for coverage." The caller ID is spoofed to look official, such as "Texas Department of Health," and they claim to be from an "authorized lab for medicare" offering "free" testing. They use your Medicare number to bill fraudulent medical services or sell your information. Medicare never calls to sell something or threaten your benefits. Your eligibility does not depend on accepting unsolicited braces or tests.
"We have tried numerous times to contact you through the mail and now by telephone regarding your eligibility for top of the line braces to alleviate your pain and increase mobility. This is your final notice. If you do not act soon. Medicare will label you ineligible for coverage. Press 1 now..."
Scammers call to inform you that you've been "randomly selected" for an "$18,000 government grant" or have won "$36 million," sometimes using the name of the Federal Trade Commission to appear legitimate. They claim they just need your bank account number or credit card to transfer the funds and say it would only take about 20 minutes to get the money transferred to your account. They use your banking details to steal money directly from your account or commit identity theft. Government agencies do not call people to award unsolicited grants. You never pay fees or provide banking details to receive legitimate grant money.
"A lady I had a hard time understanding, said she was with the Federal Government Grants Dept. She said I was chosen to receive $18k in free grant money... She said all she need was my bank account # or a valid credit card #. She said it would only take about 20mins for her to get the money transferred to my account."
You receive a robocall or email warning that a subscription for "computer protection" or "US Tech Support" is about to auto-renew for a large amount like "$299," "$400," or "$499." The message claims this amount will be automatically debited from your account unless you call them back immediately to cancel and pressures you to log onto your account and verify your information. They use your call back to steal your financial information and credit card details. Legitimate companies send renewal notices well in advance through official channels. This high-pressure tactic is designed purely to scare you into calling a scammer.
"Got an email stating they are 'US TECH SUPPORT'...Said that they were notifying me of my annual commitment of $499 and were going to charge either my credit card or bank account. Of course, they wanted to me log onto my account and verify my info. I also had a choice to call this phone number. THIS IS FRAUD!!"
