Howell MI calls: what’s really behind the spam?
Summary — +15173385844
Expert Opinion
Ever wonder why calls from +15173385844 disappear without a voicemail? Many recipients report a blank greeting, abrupt hang‑ups, or a caller ID that reads HOWELL MI or Card Services, suggesting a spoofed source. The pattern points to a scam operation rather than legitimate telemarketing. To stay safe, avoid sharing personal or financial details, and let the call go to voicemail before responding. Use your phone’s built‑in block feature or a third‑party app to block the number. Report the incident to the FCC’s spam‑call portal and consider a call‑screening service for extra protection.
