The 310 area code is being used for fake debt collection lawsuits and Social Security suspension scams. Fraudsters claim you owe money or have legal trouble to frighten you into making an immediate payment.
Scammers call from the 310 area code claiming to be from mediation firms or law offices like "Trident Everson And Associates." They use names like "Tonya Mills" or "Anna Lister" and threaten lawsuits, subpoenas, and jail time over phantom debts from over a decade ago with banks like Wells Fargo or Wachovia. They often know personal details like your workplace or the last four digits of your Social Security Number. They claim to be located in prestigious Beverly Hills office buildings and pressure you to pay immediately to avoid being served with papers. They use your personal information to make the threats seem legitimate and extract money for debts that don't exist. Real debt collectors cannot threaten arrest over the phone. They must send written notices by mail.
"He called from Trident Everson supposedly about a bank account from 2007 that I committed 'fraud' on. He said I would be served a subpoena, & have to go to court. The freaky part is that he knew where I worked, the last four of my SSN, & who I bank with."
Automated calls claim to be from the Social Security Administration warning that your Social Security Number has been suspended due to "suspicious activity" or "fraudulent felony claims." The robotic messages threaten legal proceedings or arrest warrants and tell you to press 1 to speak with someone about the case. The messages are often garbled or start in the middle of a sentence. They use your fear of losing benefits or facing arrest to trick you into giving them your Social Security Number, date of birth, and bank information. The Social Security Administration never calls to threaten suspension of your number. They send official mail, not robocalls.
"Suspend your Social Security number because we found some suspicious activity so if you want to know about this case just press one thank you this call is from the Department of Social Security administration..."
Persistent robocalls from the 310-504-xxxx number block feature recorded messages from callers like "Suzie" giving you a "final courtesy call" that your car's extended warranty is expiring. They call constantly, multiple times a day, even if you don't own a car or have a warranty. The caller doesn't know the make, model, or year of your car. They use your confirmed phone number to sell you expensive and often worthless service contracts through third-party sellers using illegal robocalls. These are not from your car's manufacturer or dealership. Real dealers contact you by mail or through official channels.
"I've been getting the same call for over a year now. Today I got a call from this number and it's a recording telling me that they've been trying to contact me regarding my car warranty and that it's about to expire. There is no mention of the business name, location or the type of vehicle it's regarding."
Scammers call pretending to be from Microsoft, Apple, or Geek Squad claiming your iCloud account was "breached" or that a computer service subscription is automatically renewing for $199, $299, or $399. Caller ID might show "Apple Inc" but it's a generic robocall. They ask you to get on your computer so they can "fix a problem" or issue a refund, and threaten to disable your computer and turn it into a "plastic box." They use your credit card information and remote computer access to steal passwords, banking information, and install malicious software. Real tech companies never cold-call about device problems or security breaches.
"Auto call claimed my trial service was done and that my card would be charged $399 to renew my 2 year protection plan. The caller then asked me to press 1 to agree or 3 to talk to an administrator. The administrator said my recent computer purchase came with this service. I have not purchased a computer the last 6 years."
Callers identifying as an "LA County Process Server" or from the "LA fraud department" leave voicemails about a "complaint filed against you." They threaten to show up at your home or workplace on a specific day like "Thursday" and provide file numbers while staying vague about who is filing the complaint. They pressure you into calling back and paying fake fines to avoid being served with legal papers. They use your fear of public embarrassment and legal trouble to extort money for nonexistent lawsuits. Real process servers don't call ahead to warn you. They show up and serve documents without notice.
"We are currently processing an order in regards to a complaint that has been filed against you. Something about scheduling a service of document at your residence or place of employment. If you have any questions or would like to avoid further action you do have a legal right to contact the information center..."
Robocall messages claim to be from the IRS stating that "serious allegations" have been filed against you for tax evasion. The automated voice warns that an "arrest warrant" has been issued and that your assets are being "monitored." They demand you call a 310 number back immediately to avoid "legal action." They use your fear of arrest and asset seizure to trick you into providing personal and financial information or paying fake taxes through gift cards or wire transfers. The IRS always contacts taxpayers through official U.S. mail, never with threatening phone calls. Real agents don't demand gift card payments.
"The recorded female voice said that the Internal Revenue Service was monitoring my assets and personal property and has issued an arrest warrant and to call the number (310) 424-2967."

No, 310 is a legitimate California area code covering West Los Angeles, Beverly Hills, and surrounding communities. Its association with the entertainment industry gives it a recognizable profile that fraudsters actively spoof.
Callers posing as attorneys from firms like "Trident Everson and Associates" use Beverly Hills addresses and partial Social Security numbers to make phantom debt threats feel credible. IRS arrest-warrant calls and tech-support subscription renewal scams demanding remote computer access are also heavily active.
Area code 310 covers the West Los Angeles and South Bay areas of Los Angeles County, a small portion of Ventura County, and Santa Catalina Island.
