Ever wondered why an “Academic Advisor” would ring your personal phone? Calls showing that label often turn out to be scam attempts that try to harvest personal information or pressure you into a quick decision. The number +1-605-252-3088 originates from a South Dakota area code, but the prefix isn’t officially assigned, which is a red flag. If you didn’t expect such a call, let it go to voicemail, block the number, and never share passwords, banking details, or payment info. When in doubt, contact any real institution directly using official contact details, not the number displayed.
Questions surround the legitimacy of this call, supposedly from an Academic Advisor, given the South Dakota area code and prefix, which may be inaccurate or spoofed.
The ID showed "Academic advisor" so i blocked it
