The 616 area code is being used for DTE energy impersonation scams and arrest warrant threats. Callers pretend to be from the gas company to demand payment or claim the police are on their way.
"Mario called from nTherm. Asked for me personally. I am the receptionist. When told I was not in the office he became very rude with my co-worker. Said he has tried at least 4 times to reach me about my gas meter. Demanded my co-worker give him my personal contact info and wanted it by the end of the day. I mean seriously?"
"Recorded call stated that I was being sued for a tax fraud claim and I should immediately call this number and ask for Robert Morris with the Internal Revenue Service."
"Got a TEXT from this number 616-228-7113, Molina Healthcare, Mrs Vanisa McDowell, offering me a 'work at home job' @ $25.55/hr. I replied SCAM & that was the end of that text. About an hour later, I'm receiving text from 402-257-0630. Same scam just a different number."
"My parents have been receiving calls from this number multiple times a day for the past three days. They are trying to sell braces to charge to my father's Medicare, asking for personal information. Their phone number has been on the National Do Not Call Registry since 2014 and they are constantly receiving calls like this."
"I get so many calls from this number. They constantly call me to ask to confirm my birthday. Do not confirm your birthday. This sounds like a scam. The same lady always calls me and tell me this is regarding a 'person business matter' I am not involved in ANY personal business matters."
"Lady called today at 11:49am and said she wanted to extend our car warranty. When I asked her a couple questions then told her I didn't want her to call here anymore and take us of their calling list she said 'Oooh I will be calling you tomorrow because you're a b#tch' and hung up on me!!"
Area code 616 covers Grand Rapids and the surrounding areas in West Michigan.
Prior to October 2021, area code 616 had telephone numbers assigned for the central office code 988 . In 2020, 988 was designated nationwide as a dialing code for the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline, which created a conflict for exchanges that permit seven-digit dialing. This area code was therefore scheduled to transition to ten-digit dialing by October 24, 2021.
No, 616 is a legitimate Michigan area code covering Grand Rapids, Wyoming, and Kentwood in the western part of the state. Its West Michigan footprint makes it appealing to fraudsters targeting that region with calls that appear to originate locally.
West Michigan residents are specifically targeted through the local credibility a 616 number provides. DTE, Michigan Gas, and a third-party supplier called nTherm are impersonated by callers demanding account numbers and becoming verbally abusive when refused, while fake UnitedHealth Group and Molina Healthcare job offers sent via text message lure job seekers into scams conducted entirely through chat applications.
