Area Code 586 Scams

The 586 area code is being used to threaten fake lawsuits and push Social Security scams. Fraudsters claim there is a pending legal claim against you to pressure you into a quick settlement payment.

Legal Process / Courts

Rude callers demand immediate callbacks regarding fake court cases, threatening to file papers at your workplace.

"I've gotten a few calls from this number 586-588-9507. They are very rude and demanding saying that I have a court case against me and that if I don't contact them immediately they're going to file court papers at my work."

Social Security Administration

Late-night calls with heavy call center noise spoof "SSI" to claim fake disability applications and steal your SSN.

"Caller ID shows SSI however they did not leave a message. Phone call came in at 7:00 pm. Marking call as unsafe since the Federal Govt offices do not work or call people past the normal business time."

Vehicle Manufacturers

Repeatedly calls to do a "warranty check" on cars you don't even own, aggressively pitching third-party plans.

"They have called my cell phone 5 times today. When I answered they were doing a 'warranty check on your 2014 Dodge Caliber...' I do not own ANY car and all of these vehicle warranty calls are scammers."

Identity Verification Systems

Plays a clear recording on a "recorded line" asking if you can hear them, hanging up to farm "yes" responses.

"Its a recording (very clear though, doesn't sound like a recording) from 'Grace' who says shes on a recorded line and ask's if you can hear her okay. As soon as you respond yes or no, the call disconnects."

Medicare

Droning callers press victims for their SSN, DOB, and income details under the guise of Medicare Advantage enrollment.

"Called says Health Insurance for MEDI CARE Enrollment need to verify DOB, SSN and income."

Microsoft Support

Falsely claims your software license expired and threatens to charge your credit card $499.00.

"said they were from Microsoft and my license had expired and they were going to charge my credit card for $499.00.. 2-26-19"

Sweepstakes / Lotteries

Texts claiming a $30,000 jackpot win, demanding your name, address, and DOB be sent to an "agent" to claim.

"Congratulations on your winning!!! We are delighted to inform you that you won THIRTY THOUSAND USD ($30,000) Jackpot after a spin ball. To confirm your winning, text (JACKPOT WINNER 30,000 USD 'your name, address AND DOB') to the agent in charge PETER JACKSON..."
