Expert Opinion

Recent reports show a surge of calls displaying the (800) 222‑1222 number and claiming to be from a Poison Control Center. Callers often start with a generic quality‑assurance message before requesting personal phone numbers, a classic scam tactic. Because the displayed number can be spoofed, caller ID alone isn’t reliable. Victims should verify the organization’s official line, hang up if the request feels unsolicited, and consider using a call blocker or reporting the incident to the FTC. Many users also report that the same spoofed number appears on different devices, making it harder to trace. Keeping a log of suspicious call timestamps can help authorities investigate patterns. If you receive a call that asks for medication details or asks you to purchase products, treat it as a red flag and disconnect immediately.

18002221222 Scam Poison Control Center (a local one)

The call from (800) 222-1222 appeared on my Caller ID, initially claiming to be an automated call for quality assurance, but a representative from Poison Control asked for my phone number, which seemed suspicious since PCC does not contact people in this manner.

The inaction of authorities despite awareness of these criminal activities is frustrating, as reporting them seems to yield no results, and the use of call blockers and reliance on Caller ID has become ineffective due to the criminals' tactics.
