The 628 area code is being used for fake Amazon purchase alerts and legal arrest threats. Scammers send messages about expensive orders you never made to steal your account passwords.
Automated voices allege fraudulent $1499 iPad orders to trick victims into giving up account credentials.
"It was an electronic voice that came on after some music played telling me I need to verify a purchase for $1499 on my Amazon account for an Apple I Pad. I did not answer they left a message. I looked at my Amazon account, no pending purchases."
Voicemails warn of imminent arrest for SSN fraud to extort money via urgent callbacks to local numbers.
"Got a call from this number and 'they' left me a automated voicemail. It stated that there was some legal actions required, and that i would be arrested if i dont call back. This made me laugh, if you get called by this number, its a scam!"
Smishing texts use malicious shortened links to fake patient portals to harvest medical billing data.
"received a text message saying, 'The balance for your recent appt with Zoomcare is ready to view and pay: https://ahmsg.us/4nF59NO Reply STOP to opt out'."
Texts offer fake clean driving rewards or bill payment confirmations with malware-infected links.
"Text message from 628-286-4319 on 12/13/21 after 5 p.m. ... 'AT&T: Thank you for paying your latest bill of $xx.xx. Click the link ...'"
Fake recruiters use text messages to offer remote work, shifting victims to WhatsApp for identity theft.
"i received a text from 628-628-5491 offering me some part time remote work for Amazon. ... they wanted me to download something called whatsapp where i would then be able to speak with a trainer and i suspect this is where i would be asked for all my personal info."
Agents illegally call victim workplaces demanding SSNs for non-existent personal business matters.
"Received a call from 628-226-2118 stating that we needed to call a professional debt mediator. I'm guessing it's a scam as we don't have any unpaid debts."
