Expert Opinion
It’s odd how a single spoofed number can flood inboxes while pretending to be a big regional bank. Callers repeatedly claim to be from Fifth Third Bank, use foreign accents, and demand personal data like birthdates or account numbers. Hang up immediately if you didn’t expect the call, never share sensitive information, and verify the request by calling the official bank number from a statement. Register the number with your carrier’s block list, report the incident to the FTC and the FCC, and consider a call‑screening app. Staying skeptical and blocking these spoofed attempts can stop the phishing cycle before it harms your finances.

The company associated with this number has been extremely aggressive, calling me multiple times a day, starting as early as 8:15 am.
