Residents are reporting Social Security arrest warrant threats and auto warranty robocalls from the 570 area code. Scammers use fear of jail time or expensive car repairs to trick you into paying them.
"Hi, this an Officer Smith from Social Security Administration we would like to inform you regarding some legal enforcement actions filed on your social security number... We will have to suspend your Social Security Number and issue and arrest warrant against you and arrest you."
"I've gotten SEVEN phone calls from this number TODAY alone and the caller said they were from the 'warranty dept. and wanted to check the make and model of my car' but NEVER identified what company they were with!"
"They are trying to record you saying the word 'yes.' The first thing they say is: 'I'm so and so calling on a recorded line.' They immediately ask 'Can you hear me ok?' Of course you can and you answer 'YES.' They now have your voice recorded saying 'YES' to whatever they screw you with!"
"Claims to be from penelec. Asking for me to get my bill so they can verify my account number. Something about you qualify for a special discount on your bill"
"Says that they are a police officer I need money to continue protecting the community asked to be put on the do not call list and was told to go $&!? myself"
"I also got a text from them (PA), trying to buy my motorcycle in OR."
Area code 570 covers the northeast quadrant of Pennsylvania, extending as far south as Pottsville and as far west as Lock Haven.
Area code 570 is overlaid by area code 272 . Area code 570 was created in 1998. Area code 272 entered service on October 21, 2013. Ten-digit dialing became mandatory in northeastern Pennsylvania on September 21, 2013.
No, 570 is a real Pennsylvania area code serving Scranton, Wilkes-Barre, and Williamsport in northeastern and north-central Pennsylvania. Spoofers use it because a local Pennsylvania number is far less likely to be screened than a call from an unknown state.
Northeastern Pennsylvania residents are the targets, but 570 numbers also turn up in out-of-state overpayment scams where fraudsters text sellers in Oregon and Washington pretending to buy motorcycles and cars with fake cashier's checks. Locally, PPL and Penelec utility impersonation calls asking customers to read back their account numbers and fake police and firefighter donation solicitations are the most reported schemes from this code.
