Why "Benefits Dept" Calls Are Likely Scams!

Expert Opinion
It’s striking how often the same vague label shows up on caller ID, nudging you toward a quick hang‑up. When a number repeatedly appears as “Benefits Dept” yet offers no voicemail or clear explanation, it’s a classic red flag for a potential scam. Protect yourself by letting unknown calls go to voicemail, then reviewing any recorded message before returning the line. If you do answer, ask for a written confirmation of the organization’s details and verify them independently through official channels. Keep a log of the number and share it with your carrier or a consumer‑protection site to help curb future unwanted calls.

Following Mark's experience, I also received a call from the so-called Benefits Dept, which I did not answer, assuming it to be a scam based on my past encounters with this caller ID.
The caller ID showed 'STATE BENEFITS' when they called, but i didnt anser, and they didnt leave a message, which is inteeresting sinse the area code is from Montana.
