The 308 area code is often associated with aggressive auto warranty calls and private sale scams. Callers try to sell you worthless service contracts or trick you into paying fees for items that do not exist.
Callers claim your car warranty is expiring and reference vehicles you sold years ago or cars you never owned, like a Ford Mustang. They become rude and aggressive when you decline their offer and call 8-10 times per day even after you ask to be removed from their list. They use your personal information to sell fake warranty products or transfer you to high-pressure sales operations.
"Answered once and it was about a car warranty renewal for a vehicle I got rid of 4 years ago. The following day they tried 8 times and 6 times today. Finally blocked this number"
After you post an item for sale online like a truck on Craigslist, callers claiming to be "Roy Jackson" say they have a buyer ready and demand upfront fees of $259 or $400 to facilitate the sale. They hang up if you ask for company details. They take your money and disappear without connecting you to any buyer. No legitimate broker demands cash fees over the phone from strangers.
"He wanted a $259.00 fee Upfront for selling my truck."
Callers targeting 308 numbers claim to be from the Social Security Administration and say there has been fraudulent activity on your account or that you have unclaimed money waiting for you. They ask you to provide your Social Security number to verify your identity. They use your SSN and personal information to steal your identity and access your accounts. The real SSA communicates through mail, not phone calls asking for your personal information.
"wanting me to give them my ssi number to find out if i have unclamed money sommepalace"
A caller pretends to be your grandson or relative claiming they are in jail after a car accident and need money for bail immediately, often asking you not to tell anyone else in the family. They create panic to trick you into sending money before you have time to verify the story. They steal whatever money you send through wire transfers or gift cards. Real relatives would call from numbers you recognize and wouldn't demand secrecy.
"Caller pretended to be grandson, asking for money because he was in accident and was in jail. THIS IS A SCAM"
Callers from 308 numbers claim to be from Apple Support and state that your iCloud account has been breached, then hang up immediately when you ask for their name or question them. They want your password or remote access to your computer to steal your personal information and access all your accounts. Apple does not make unsolicited calls about account security.
"Fraudulent call from 'Apple Support' re breach of iCloud account. Hung up on me when I asked his name."
Callers using spoofed local Nebraska numbers offer affordable health insurance or free medical braces claiming to be from Medicare, calling dozens of times daily including before 7 a.m. and becoming rude when you decline. They use your Medicare and Social Security numbers to commit Medicare fraud and steal your identity. Official Medicare representatives never call to sell products or ask for personal information unless you specifically requested a call.
"Affordable health insurance calls before 7 and 20 Times a day"
