Broward County's 954 area code is being used for arrest warrant threats and Medicare phishing. Callers pretend to be police or health officials to scare you into handing over money.
Robocalls warn that the victim's SSN has been suspended for suspicious activity at the Texas border, threatening federal courthouse arrest.
"I received a call from 954-239-5641 regarding suspicious activity with my Social Security Number (SSN). I knew it was a fake call so when they asked me for my SSN I told them they should have since they called me and they hung up. When I called the number back it said the number was a non-working number."
Scammers impersonating health departments claim a household member inquired about Medicare to push unrequested medical equipment.
"Hello, this is Isaac calling about Medicare plus card.... did not listen to any more, hung up on him. Have a good number of these 954 numbers blocked (over 30) and they still find new numbers to use to pester me. I don't even say hello, I just pick up the phone, wait for them to speak, and hang up."
Spoofed caller IDs mimicking local police departments demand immediate payment to clear non-existent arrest warrants for outstanding debts.
"I received the same call and experience as above. Was showing up as Arlington Police Dept. Said I had several warrants out for my arrest for outstanding debt and I needed to turn myself in by 2:00 tomorrow. They gave me a case number and said if I settled the issue...I needed to call US Legal Support... YES, It Is A SCAM...."
Scammers impersonate crying grandchildren claiming to have been jailed after a car crash, passing the phone to a fake attorney demanding bail routing numbers.
"Our 'grandson' called crying about a car accident in which he had a broken nose and a 6 month pregnant woman was hurt. He need to pay his fine of $8000 or spend two weeks in jail - don't tell my dad. I spoke with an 'attorney' Christopher Adams who said the fine could be reduced... all I had to do was give them my routing number and account number."
Robocallers harass victims multiple times a week attempting to sell extended warranties for cars sold over 8 years ago.
"2/3/4 times a week, I get a call from this number about an extended warranty for a car I haven't owned for over 8 years! I continually tell the very same person to take me off whatever lists he has and to not call me any more. He will call again tomorrow."
Fake agents claim a $255k win and instruct victims to send $950 via Western Union from Walmart, acting creepy when refused.
"Person claims you win $255,000 and to go to a local Walmart to send $950 Western Union. I called him out and he asked me if I thought his voice was sexy. CREEPY!!!"
Scammers promise a pre-approved $25k loan but require victims to purchase a $250 Google Play gift card for "security deposit insurance."
"Calls four times an hour starting at seven am. Wants to give me a loan they say. Just buy a google card for $250. they say for some fee. I say you are blood sucking lowlife scammers and I am not interested."
Callers tell victims they won a free luxury Bahamas cruise but demand an immediate $198 credit card payment for port taxes.
"THEY CALL AT LEAST ONE TIME A DAY... CALL STATES, 'YOU HAVE WON A CRUISE ON CARNIVAL CRUISE LINE.... IT IS $99.00 COST PER PERSON... AND RIGHT NOW YOU HAVE TO PAY PORT TAXES, WHAT IS YOUR VISA CC NUMBER FOR THE SUM OF $198.00 ?' HANG UP !"
