The 984 area code is often used for fake legal threats and fraudulent police donation drives. Callers try to scare you with warrants or guilt you into donating to charities that do not exist.
Voicemails threaten arrest warrants and workplace process serving over unverified "personal matters."
"A Threatening message left on my Husband's work cell phone about legal issues against me saying if there is no response I will be served both at home and work addresses & it will be too late for me to resolve issue."
Late-night callers strictly demand debit card donations for first responders while refusing to provide mailing addresses.
"Claiming to be Police Benevolent Association, but questions regarding the association were unanswered. Speaking from a script... I asked them for a mailing address so I can send a check ? He said 'we only accept debit cards !'"
Constant robocalls falsely declare factory warranties are expiring on vehicles as old as 6 years.
"Factory warranty is about to expire on a car that is 6 years old. Called MULTIPLE TIMES, MULTIPLE DIFFERENT DAYS. SCAM 100%"
A fake prize agent repeatedly calls, claiming each time is his "last attempt" to award the victim a major prize.
"Received many calls from Michael Porter states I have received one of five large prizes. It would be in my best interest to call back. This would be his last attempt.....every call is his last attempt"
Generic texts urge victims to reply 'YES' to confirm unnamed accounts, trapping them in fee-based data subscriptions.
"Reply Y or YES to confirm your account and turn on notifications. Msg & data rates may apply. Reply STOP to optout. The sender is not in your contact list."
Aggressive medical device telemarketers resort to heavy profanity when victims request to be taken off their lists.
"Got call from this number they claim to be from Senior Care told em I'm not a senior and im not interested. Guy got aggressive I asked him to take me off your list. The guy then said f*** you a**hole n proceeded to swear at me."
Callers explicitly state the call is recorded before immediately asking "can you hear me ok" to harvest voice signatures.
"The woman on other end says this is a recorded call, then she will say can you hear me ok. They want you to say "Yes". Then they will have your voice saying yes. DO Not SAY THE WORD YES."
Phone numbers with the 984 area code originate from the east-central region of North Carolina, covering all or parts of eleven counties.
Area code 984 operates as an overlay for area code 919 , serving the same geographic region in North Carolina. Area code 919 was originally created in 1954. Area code 984 was introduced as an overlay, with its effective date of implementation being April 30, 2012. As a result of this overlay, ten-digit dialing for local calls became mandatory across the Triangle region starting March 31, 2012.
An overlay introduced to handle demand in the booming Research Triangle, 984 covers the same Raleigh-Durham-Cary geography as 919. Duke Health schedulers and SAS Institute recruiters are among the familiar callers from this region operating across both codes.
