If you see +1‑414‑384‑2000 pop up as US Government on your caller ID, it’s most often the Milwaukee VA Medical Center or the University of Wisconsin Medical College dialing out on behalf of the VA. The calls are usually legit – appointment reminders, tele‑health check‑ins, or a simple mis‑dial. The safest play is to let the call go to voicemail and check the message for patient‑specific details before calling back. Never hand over Social Security numbers or banking info unless you’ve initiated the contact yourself. If the calls are frequent and unwanted, consider blocking the number or asking the VA to use a different line.
The call was suspicious, with a poor connection and an individual inquiring about health issues, claiming to be from the US Government despite having an Indian accent.
A call and message were received, addressing me as Dr. Snell and referencing a situation at the VA, which appears to be a false claim.
Scammers and telemarketers often use neighbor spoofing to make it look like the call is coming from a local number or a company
This number is asociated with the Mikwaukee VA Center, I had a telehealth call with a doctor, and this number showed up, not a scam, thankfully
If you frequently recieve calls, you would probaly know the number or have it saved, so i wonder why you're looking it up, are you trying to support an old post?
Frequent calls are recieved from this number, apparently its the VA clinics
Similarly, my caller ID displayed "US Government", but the caller hung up without leaving a message, and I have no connection to the Milwaukee VA.
They call me every day, but never leave a message, dont know why they keep calling
Given the multitude of posts, it's clear that this is a scam, and it's unbelievable that the VA would make so many erroneous calls.
It's not a scam, it's really the VA calling you, maybe by mistake or somethin
A suspicious call was received at 8pm, but no message was left, which is concerning given I have no connections to the VA.
This number is indeed associated with the Medical College of Wisconsin and is legitimate; any staff members calling from their phones, including the VA Center, will display this number.
Someone from this number has been calling my wifes phone repeatedly, and hangs up shortly after she answers, we've had this phone for a short time, and have been recieving calls for the previus owner
After receiving a call from this number, which did not include a message, a review of various websites, including peoplesmart.com, revealed reports similar to others.
In my case, the call from this number was legitimate, as it was from a VA Medical Center, specifically from an RN who had been in contact with a family member of mine.
A voicemessage from this number adressed me as 'Randy' and mencioned somthing about a meeting at the VA, it sounded quite fishy
I had a call on my voicemail, a male was saying hello several times, I thougt it was a call from the US Gov't but it seemd like a confused person at the VA.
An unexpected call from this number was immediately ended when I answered, and a second call followed shortly, which I allowed to go to voicemail, yielding the same result; this behavior seems inconsistent with the protocols of a legitimate institution like a VA hospital.
Apparently, this number is associated with the Milwaukee office of the VA Medical Center and Veterans Affairs office, likely a misdialed call rather than a scam attempt, considering my home phone number is quite different
The number 414-384-2000 is associated with Veterans Affairs, a government agency linked to the medical field.
I belive this is a mistaken call, since i work at the Medical College of Wisconsin, and this number shows up on my caller ID when i get a call from within the institution, it's not a scam, probaby just a misdialed number
The caler ID displayed "US Government", but a number search reveald it was actualy the main number for University Wisconsin Medical College, no message was left, it appeare to be a scam.
