Is This Debt Collector Call a Scam?
Summary — +12817688939
Expert Opinion
Like a bad looped ringtone that never ends, the +12817688939 pattern repeats a classic debt‑collector script mixed with automated hold music. Callers drop a generic “you’re on hold” message, then slip into a rehearsed claim about an unpaid medical bill, often citing a real collection agency like ARC to sound legitimate. The use of dead‑air voicemails and “ring‑only” recordings is a red flag for robocall scams and spoofed numbers. Protect yourself by letting the call go to voicemail, checking the debt directly with the original creditor, and using carrier‑provided call‑blocking tools. If a claim feels off, report it to the FTC and your phone carrier.

Upon answering a call from this number, I was placed on hold before being connected with a representative who possessed accurate information about my address and former health insurance provider, but then claimed I owed a debt to a legitimate collection agency, ARC collections, based on a falsified appointment.
