Area Code 235 Scams and Spam Calls

Most Common Area Code 235 Scam

• Harassment Calls

High-Volume Harassment Calls

Scammers from the 235 area code flood your phone with an impossibly high number of calls in a very short time, sometimes making 30 calls at once or over 100 calls in just two days. The calls continue immediately even after you block the number, and the caller never leaves a voicemail explaining their purpose. They use this relentless calling to wear you down until you finally answer and engage with whatever scam they are running. The harassment stops only when you change your number or they move on to easier targets.

"Received 100 calls from this number in two days. Non stop. I don't answer calls I don't know who is calling me. This has become extremely annoying. I've blocked the calls but they keep coming. Just received 30 at one time. This is ridiculous."
