Customer service representative from Straight Talk
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.

Scam
Reactivating minutes with them is absolutly ridicoulos
This appears to be a call from the Tracfone call center, possibly regarding account information or issues with service
This call was from TracFone to confim my number transfer
This is Straight Talk phone service, which is known for its aggressive follow-up tactics, offering a reliable and affordable monthly plan of $45, including 3 gigs of data.
Somebody posing as me has been sending text messages, and I made a complaint call to 1 866-667-6470 X627427, but it was terminated with a busy signal, and Michael from TradFone was asisting me with my account
I got two calls this morning from this number, with no message, and when I answered, nobody was there, we are trying to get in touch with Straight Talk Thru Walmart, perhaps it's related to that, disguting the way they operate
Following a return call, it was determined that Straight Talk was the originator, inquiring about the status of an open ticket.
Apparently, this number is asociated with Tracfone and they call about phone changes.
Following a call from this individuel, he requested to speek with somone, appearently a man, however his english wasnt very good... he mentioned an international company, got annoying and I ended the call
Following my Live Chat with Straight Talk, where I attempted to port this number from AT&T, I received a call from this number twice, both times disconnecting before I could answer. It's puzzling that they called me, as all my questions were addressed during the Live Chat, but I can confirm that it is connected to Straight Talk.
Simultaneusly, a text was sent to my cell and a cal was made to my home phone with a 800 service id, which is absurb and annoying

I recieved a call on my cell phone from this number, despite being a Verizon customer and not having a Straight Talk account; the reason for the call is unclear
This number keeps on calling, but never leaves a mesage
We have no clue who this number belongs to. If it's indeed 'Straight Talk', it's puzzling why they'd call our landline given we have no affiliation with them. They let it ring over 20 times before giving up, a tactic that's quite annoying.
Thanks for sharing this information, it's appreciated. A friend has been trying to convince me to switch to Straight Talk, but I've resisted, and now it seems that was a good decision.

I'm having the same problem, waiting for a call back from ST but nobody is on the other end, very frustrating
This number appears to be associated with a call-back service from Straight Talk, a cellular telephone service provider, where if the wait time is long, they offer a call-back option, but the execution of this service has been problematic, with multiple calls being made and then terminated without anyone on the other end.
