My phone has flagged this as a potential phishing attempt
Scam alert: 800‑836‑5938 targeting riders
Summary — +18008365938
Expert Opinion
Bottom line: calls from 800‑836‑5938 are most likely scam attempts masquerading as rideshare or transportation notifications. Callers frequently claim to be Lyft drivers or an Uber confirmation, then hang up or leave vague voicemails. Because the number shows up on multiple reports of harassment and unsolicited contact, treat it as spam. Do not share personal or payment details, and let the call go to voicemail. Use your phone’s built‑in block feature, add the number to a Do‑Not‑Call registry, and report the activity to the FTC or FCC. Staying cautious protects you from potential fraud.
