St. Paul's 651 area code is dealing with suspicious property purchase offers and health insurance impersonators. Scammers try to buy your land for low prices or steal medical data by posing as United Healthcare.
Callers named "Rich," "Aubrey," or "Ray" flood residents in the 651 area code with robocalls and texts claiming they saw your property online and want to buy it. They make generic cash offers for "your property" without mentioning your address or name, promise to pay all closing costs "and stuff," and may call from spoofed numbers showing Singapore or San Diego with Minnesota callback numbers. They use your response to confirm you own property and gather information for future targeting or identity theft. Real investors use licensed realtors and send official mail with specific details.
"I am a police detective and Rich called me on my work cell. Obviously, if he had been 'looking online' he would see 'my home' is a government building..."
Scammers spoof calls to look like United Healthcare, sometimes knowing your employer's name or recent medical procedures. They claim to be from a "registered nurse team" calling about benefits through your employer and ask you to provide personal information like your date of birth to "verify" your identity, often speaking with heavy foreign accents. They use any information you provide to access your medical accounts or commit identity theft. Real UHC representatives will not call unexpectedly demanding personal information.
"Call purporting from UHC about a registered nurse program - knew my employer name, my name, my email address. I thought it was legit stupidly."
Robocalls claim your Social Security Number has been compromised, used in a crime in Texas, or is about to be disabled or frozen. The automated message threatens legal action or jail time and urges you to press 1 to speak with an "agent" to resolve the issue, then asks you to provide your SSN to "verify" it. They use your Social Security Number to steal your identity and open accounts in your name. The Social Security Administration never calls to threaten you or claim your SSN has been suspended.
"Called me and told me that my ss was used in Texas. Called the number back and they ask for ss number. Told her she was scamming people she started telling at me."
Aggressive callers state a "case is being prepared for submission against you" or that a legal complaint has been filed. They sometimes identify fake companies like "CPS" or "Client Services," refuse to provide their company's name or address, threaten to verify your employment and address "for the purposes of locating" you, and claim you owe money on very old or unfamiliar accounts. They use any personal information or payment to steal your identity or money on completely fabricated debts. Official process servers and debt collectors serve legal papers in person or send official mail, not harassing robocalls.
"This call is from client services, we're calling regarding a case that's being prepared for submission against you. Our next step with this is an address and employment verification for the purposes of locating you."
High-volume robocalls claim your auto warranty is expiring or lapsed, even if you don't own the vehicle or never had a warranty. Callers like "Monica" create false urgency by stating it's your "final call" or "last chance" before your file is closed, don't know your vehicle's make or model, and pressure you to make payment over the phone to "reinstate" coverage. They sell you worthless or overpriced service plans that provide no actual coverage. These calls come from unrelated, often fraudulent third-party sellers, not your car's manufacturer or dealership.
"Calls several times a day. Does not leave message, but if I answer, it's a pre-recorded voice telling me that my 'auto warranty has lapsed, and they can take payment over phone to reinstate.' I have never had an auto warranty."
A man serially calls hair salons across the 651 area code asking for a "femme type" haircut or "take charge" stylist, wants detailed descriptions of what they would do to his hair, asks if stylists get a "thrill" from cutting hair, and offers large tips of $30, $40, or $50 to leave voicemails for his "wife" describing the haircut or to send cut hair to her. He makes these calls for his own sexual gratification and wastes your staff's time. This is not a legitimate client but a serial harasser targeting salons nationwide.
"Called salon in CO and asked inappropriate questions, asking what we are wearing, asking how we wear out hair, and asked us to put hair in his mouth and drop it on his lap."
Phone numbers with area code 651 primarily originate from Saint Paul, Minnesota, and the eastern suburbs of the Twin Cities. A portion of the service area extends southeast along the Mississippi River to include cities such as Hastings. The dividing line between 651 and area code 612 largely follows the Mississippi River, with the metropolitan area east of the river transferring to 651.
Area code 651 is one of the few urbanized area codes without an overlay, allowing seven-digit dialing. Current projections do not include an exhaust date for 651.
No, 651 is a genuine area code serving the east-central portion of Minnesota, encompassing St. Paul, Eagan, and Woodbury. Because this prefix is tied to the state capital and major suburban centers, scammers use it to mask their identity and increase the probability that a local resident will pick up the phone.
The 651 area is currently plagued by "The Rich and Aubrey" property scam, where robocallers leave vague messages offering immediate cash for your home to gather ownership data. Local healthcare employees also report being targeted by United Healthcare impersonators who use specific employer names to fish for dates of birth. Furthermore, a unique harassment campaign involves a caller asking salons for a "take charge" stylist while offering $50 tips for strange recorded hair descriptions.
