Yesterday evening, multiple calls from variations of +1‑775‑984‑448xx landed on users’ phones, each featuring a cheery female recording promising education grants in exchange for payment. The pattern matches a classic pop‑up scam that hijacks legitimate numbers and switches prefixes to evade blockers. Recipients should let the call go to voicemail, avoid sharing personal info, and report the number to the FTC and their carrier’s spam‑filter service. Installing a reputable call‑blocking app and regularly updating its list can help keep scam calls at bay. If a live agent answers, hanging up immediately and documenting the call protects you from further fraud.
An answer from a female voice claiming to be an academic advisor was met with skepticism since there are no plans to pursue further education.
It seem like these caller are sneeky, they calld me yesterday twice from 775984448*4*, but today they call from 775984448*3*, the antivirus call blocker on my phone catched the two call from yesterday but this one got through
