Imagine picking up the phone only to hear a robotic voice claiming the IRS or a student‑loan program wants to lock you into a payment plan you never signed up for. That’s the hallmark of a classic robocall scam—they rely on fear and urgency to get a reaction. Most callers from +13059855505 use generic scripts about tax liens, criminal investigations, or bogus loan reductions, often with an Indian or Hispanic accent to add credibility. Hang up immediately, block the number, and report it to the FTC. Never press any buttons or provide personal data; scammers harvest numbers from data‑brokers and use them for future spam. A quick Google search of the caller ID often reveals a pattern of complaints, confirming it’s a telemarketing fraud operation.
A significant majority of calls, approximately 70%, are similar to this one, consisting of unwanted rubbish.
Ignoring calls from this number, as it is likely part of a large-scale operation based in India, might be the best course of action to discourage further calls.

The operation of automatic dialers involves loading all potential phone numbers within a specific area code. From my experience working in market research, these dialers target particular regions, and numbers that don't answer or are out of service are eventually dropped. The best strategy is to ignore unrecognized calls, as legitimate callers will leave a message.
The caller hangs up immediately after dialing, and it's impossible to return the call.

Press '1' to be connected to a live operator to take advantage of this new program or press '5' to decline this offer."
