These calls are clearly unsolicited loan offers that turn into aggressive scams. Callers repeatedly pressure you to pay upfront fees for a non‑existent loan, then demand additional money when you question them. Block the number, report it to the FTC and your phone carrier, and never send money to anyone you haven’t verified. If you’ve already paid, contact your bank to dispute the charge and consider filing a complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Keep a log of call times and any recorded messages; they help authorities track repeat offenders.

I've been adding all the unwanted numbers I dont recognize to the do not call list, it's the best way to avoid them.
A scammer called, claiming to offer a loan and providing a different phone number, and also gave a fake name.
This number has contacted me over 12 times, attempting to sell loans. Despite my requests to be added to the Do Not Call list, the calls persist, often ending in hang ups, which I consider harassment.
The callers, possessing strong accents, purported to be authorities threatening arrest unless a payment of $794 was made via prepaid card, and the card number provided; this is undoubtedly a scam.
