User Reports

Insurance Services

"I got two calls from different local numbers claiming to be 'Art' and giving this number as a call back. Interestingly enough, at the start of one of the messages, another voice is heard coaching someone to give high fives. 'High above, down below, now in the middle.' Then there's a pause before 'Art' comes on..."

Legal Process

"Received a call from 701-997-2698. They left a voice message saying 'If we don't hear from you then we will be forced to take legal action against you. Kindly press 1 or call us back at 701-997-2698.'"

Amazon

"I was told my Amazon account was compromised. They had ordered a $200 grift card and I needed to call this number to get the money refunded to my account. There's no such charge to my account."

Tech Support

"Recorded call said to call number to cancel a computer service contract or my bank account would be debited for $599 for 3 years. I called back and got a very noisy background and a person with an accent...He wanted me to get on my computer and bring up a screen share program. RED FLAG!!!"

Auto Repair Businesses

"This number has repeatedly called my auto repair business, demanding to speak to 'the boss' to buy catalytic converters. When I tell them the 'boss' is unavailable, they refuse to accept my answer...and tell me they will be coming to my business personally to ask someone else."

Google Maps

"Call multiple times per day stating that our Google listing has expired. The call is a 'robot'. ...When I re-dialed the number it was a non-working phone number. Scam, scam and scam"
