Pittsburgh’s 412 area code is seeing fake utility shut-off warnings and aggressive home offers. Callers threaten to cut off your power immediately unless you pay them right away with a prepaid card.
Spoofs utility caller ID threatening 30-minute power shutoffs to steal payment details.
"LOST $433 DUE TO A SCAM! TOLD ME THEY WERE MY UTILITY COMPANY AND SAID THEY WERE GOING TO SHUT OFF MY ELECTRIC IF A PAYMENT WASN'T MADE."
Relentless unsolicited calls pushing predatory, lowball cash offers on homeowners.
"Voicemail: 'Hi my name is Cody. I know this might seem a little bit out of the blue but I just recently sold a house in your area. I'm looking to buy another one... I'm just looking for a real easy sale as is all cash.'"
Spoofed robocalls aggressively selling overpriced, worthless extended auto warranties.
"A supposed car warranty company, who can't even tell who they're calling for/year, make, model of car/ their company's address. It's kinda funny to have a middle eastern man say his name is Carlos Gomez !"
Threatens lawsuits and workplace summons over decade-old phantom debts to extract PII and payments.
"Received call/message - they state they have a claim against me. Blah Blah, they call on all my numbers. But, then they change the last 4 digit of the phone number but still leaves a message of the same information. Don't they know we are on to all of the scammers, and if someone has a claim, they don't notify you by phone."
Robocalls warning of iCloud breaches to steal Apple ID passwords and verification codes.
"Robocall female voice claimed to be Apple (called home phone number- land line) concerning a data breach on our iPhone/iCloud. I do not own an iPhone or have iCloud. 2 calls yesterday and another today."

"Jesse if that is his real name called me posing as a agent from Social Security. He wanted information from me my date of hire and my health insurance information . I did not give it to him... I called Social Security and gave his phone number and they said it was a scam."
