Expert Opinion
It looks like the number +18002573500 is being used by scammers pretending to be from CenturyLink. They often claim to offer free internet upgrades or fiber optic installations, but their stories are inconsistent and they sometimes hang up when asked too many questions. These calls can be very persistent, with some users reporting dozens of calls in a short period. The scammers often use fake names and may have a distinct Indian accent. While they might know your name and address, this is a common tactic to gain trust. If you receive such a call, don't give out any personal information, especially your Social Security number. Instead, hang up and verify any offers directly with CenturyLink by calling their official customer service number. Blocking the number can also help reduce the harassment.

New information:
The caller pretended to be from CenturyLink, offering a free fiber optic installation, despite my not living in a house; CenturyLink confirmed this is a scam, as their actual service would require an upgrade fee.

Despite months of calls, often resulting in hang-ups, a recent call was answered, and an individual claiming to be 'Mary' from Century Link discussed installing free fiber optic services, which seemed suspicious given the recipient's living situation and the prolonged period of such calls.

The inconsistency in the caller ID for this number, which sometimes displays as a company and other times as individual names, raises suspicions about its legitimacy.
I was contacted by Centurylink regarding a free internet service upgrade, and I opted for the complimentary upgrade, which has resulted in improved speeds without additional costs
