The 331 area code is often used for fake legal complaint calls and government impersonation scams. Fraudsters pretend to be officials to scare you into handing over money or personal identification.
Extortion attempt threatening to report vague legal complaints directly to the victim's HR or payroll department.
"Claim to have a complaint on file and if I do not address the compliant they will contact my HR payroll at work. Go find a job and stop scamming people that work hard for their money."
Claims an active arrest warrant exists for tax issues and demands SSN verification to freeze activity.
"Officer Andrew Hall said I have an arrest warrant out for me because of suspicious activity on my SS card... need I say more? SCAMMER"
Automated calls demanding cancellation confirmation for high-dollar, fake purchases like an iPhone 16 Pro.
"They left a voicemail stating to authorize the payment of $999 for the recent order of Apple iPhone 16 Pro on your account. If you do not authorize this payment, please press 1 to speak to our customer support representative."
Aggressive outbound robocalling selling extended warranties; hangs up if removal from the list is requested.
"These low-lifes call up hoping to sell you auto protection (after your warranty has run out). I don't have an automobile and I have had so many of their calls that I'm nauseous. Tried being dropped from their call list, and the rep hung up on me."
Anonymous prerecorded voice claiming survey responses won't affect coverage to phish for medical history data.
"no company name as to who is calling and leaving a prerecorded message that will only take a few moment of my time and that anything related to my health coverage no matter the answer will not be affected."
Bombards users with 7-10 consecutive silent hang-up calls to verify the line is active.
"I just got 7 calls in row."
