The 952 area code is heavily targeted by car warranty robocalls and Medicare imposters. Scammers try to confuse seniors into giving up their health insurance numbers or credit card details.
Hostile scammers claim to represent extended warranty departments, rudely wishing the victim's car breaks down when questioned.
"Got a call pretending to be 'extended warranty' for my car. Knew exact name and year. When I pretended to 'not know how many miles I had on my car', and before I was going to tell her to 'remove my number', she rudely told me she 'hopes my car breaks down' then hung up on me."
Robocalls issue final notices warning that Medicare will label the victim ineligible unless they accept top-of-the-line pain braces.
"'Hi This is Nancy you're patient advocate working closely with Medicare this is an urgent message...regarding your eligibility for top of the line braces to alleviate your pain and increase mobility This is your final notice if you do not act soon Medicare will label you unavailable for coverage...'"
Voicemails claim fraudulent SSN activity and threaten grand jury federal offenses or FBI summons to extract personal data.
"Left a voicemail on 12/16/19 stating there was fraudulent activity with my SSN and that they were going to suspend my number."
Automated callers claim unserved complaint notices and threaten to contact the victim's HR or payroll departments if ignored.
"'Hello my name is Beverly Williams. You are not available today and this message is in regards to a complaint notice to your attention. Please immediately contact 844-790-9195 to update your address or contact information...' After third attempt we will contact HR or payroll on file."
Aggressive roofing telemarketers call back to curse out and harass homeowners or business employees who decline their services.
"Called my business asking if we were having our roof looked at, told her nope already done and sid ty and hung up. Called back to chew me out. Not a company I would recommend ever. its R and N Roofing."
Scammers calling about "federal tax issues" immediately ask "Can you hear me ok?" to record the victim saying "yes".
"Claims to be 'Sam' calling about a federal tax issue. Asks 'Can you hear me ok?' to prompt the listener to say 'yes'."
