TracFone callback scams — what to watch for!
Summary — +18003531842
Expert Opinion
Oddly, the same toll‑free line keeps popping up across dozens of carrier‑related complaints. Most users report hearing an automated voice that claims to verify account details or confirm a number transfer, yet the call often ends in silence or a brief message urging a callback. Because the prefix belongs to the TracFone family of MVNOs, legitimate support callbacks can originate from it, but scammers also spoof the number for port‑out fraud. To stay safe, treat any unsolicited request for personal data as suspicious, hang up, and contact the carrier through the official website or a known billing number. Block the caller in your phone, and file a report with the FCC or your state consumer agency if the call feels fraudulent.

After Safelink was acquired by Verizon Wireless, the customer service was lacking, especilly when you dial 611 on a cell phone, it connects to an offshore call center that provides subpar support
The pattern of posts in this thread, including claims of corrections and blatant promotions, raises suspicions of shilling, and the mention of multiple carriers like Straight Talk, TracFone, Verizon, and T-Mobile is a red flag, suggesting potential spoofing or billing scams, so caution is advised.
The level of customer support provided by this call center, which is apparently used by Verizon Wireless for certain inquiries, is disappointing, especially considering it serves multiple mobile service providers like StraightTalk and SafeLink.
