The 936 area code is seeing a rise in Social Security fraud alerts and fake legal process scams. Callers try to panic you by claiming your benefits are suspended due to criminal activity.
Robocalls or live callers with heavy accents threaten legal proceedings or arrest due to a compromised SSN.
"A man with an accent called my mother-in-law. He told her that her SS had gotten compromised... They told her to take her debit card to the nearest store to get a voucher to get money from her bank account before they froze it. And that if they didn't clear her name today, that someone would be here to arrest her tomorrow."
Voicemails claim legal complaints are on hold and threaten to serve papers at the victim's workplace unless a toll-free number is called.
"Ann Jones call said had legal papers on hold and if I don't call 844-647-0133 they would proceed to court without my input. I have gotten the same call before but different. Numbers all numbers I have checked come up unsafe, robo call and scam"
Unsolicited texts sent at odd hours contain poor-quality images of fake prescription benefit cards and malicious links.
"Received text from 936-218-6708 with a pic of a prescription card. No name, of course. Shows member # 12577199, Plan ID of MIMNE... I called the number and it says, 'we have been trying to reach you about your zero cost prescription plan.'"
Aggressive callers demand SSN and date of birth to verify identity for phantom debts, refusing to state their business until information is provided.
"PORTFOLIO RECOVERY SERVICES -- debt collector. I missed many calls from this number, and called it back (with *67 first), and a recorded voice said 'Thank you for calling Portfolio Recovery Services'. I hung up...They call MULTIPLE TIMES A DAY from a DIFFERENT NUMBER EVERY SINGLE DAY TO MY COMPANY WORK CELL!!"
Callers promise $1.8 million prizes and vehicles but demand victims purchase store gift cards upfront to cover taxes.
"Stateing from publisher clearing house for 1.8 million , got to go to a dollar general store and purchase a card for the tax"
High-pressure robocalls falsely claim vehicle warranties are expiring and repeatedly harass victims for credit card information.
"Dealer Services: trying to sell me an extended warranty on a car I have not owned in 5 years. EVERYDAY!!! they hang up on me when I try to get them to take my number out and just call back again...for months!"
