The 386 area code is frequently used for bogus legal threats and Social Security suspension scams. Callers pretend to be process servers or government officials to intimidate you into paying fake fines.
Generates fake case file numbers (e.g., 18-CNU1440.FL) to extort fees by threatening sheriff service at home or work.
"I'm calling in regards to a formal complaint that's in the process of being filed this morning for several different matters. I'm calling to verify that we do have the correct address for this individual. Now the next step will be filing the necessary paper work for your county."
Robocalls threatening the issuance of court orders to suspend all SSN activity due to supposed suspicious activity.
"Getting calls telling me my SS number is going to be suspended by a court order. Can't the government do something about this ? It's a disgrace."
Uses specific historical car data to conduct high-pressure "final courtesy call" pitches for extended warranties.
"They have called me repeatedly from several phone numbers concerning auto warranty I can't get them to stop"
Threatens to issue arrest warrants and harass family members over fabricated, 15-year-old phantom debts.
"Caller is very threatening saying will put a warrant out for arrest for debt owed to G.e... never have dealt with g.e. at all. Threatens to call members of family and harass them until the so called debt is paid"
Cycles through multiple 386 numbers using spoofed Caller IDs to extort immediate credit card payments for fake charities.
"Called as Florida National Police asking for money to help Police Officers and their Families"
Impersonates Medicare offices offering free DNA cancer screenings to steal and exploit Medicare IDs.
"I mistakenly thought this was a Medicare office so I have some info. over the phone about a free cancer DNA screening that they said on an advertising on line, that Medicare will pay for... Stay AWAY & don't give out ANY info."
Leverages fake high-ticket orders or business delisting warnings to coerce users into confirming data with fake fraud departments.
"I received a call from this number on 10/19/21. When I answered the phone I received an automated voice stating it was Amazon trying to confirm an order for over $1,000. It asked me to press one if I did not authorize the purchase. When I did a lady came on the phone and I told her what the automated voice said. She immediately hung up."
Phone numbers with the 386 area code originate from two non-contiguous sections of North Florida. The eastern section comprises most of Volusia County (except Osteen), all of Flagler County, the northernmost portion of Alachua County, and far eastern Putnam County. The western section covers all of Columbia, Hamilton, Lafayette, Suwannee, and Union counties.
Spanning northern and eastern Florida from Daytona Beach through Gainesville to Palatka, the 386 area code mixes motorsport culture with higher education and healthcare. Embry-Riddle admissions, NASCAR ticketing offices, and Halifax Health schedulers are among the frequent callers.
