Advanced Locators debt collector scam explained!
Summary — +18174060071
Expert Opinion
Yesterday afternoon, dozens of users flagged calls from 817‑406‑6071 as part of a coordinated debt collector script that masquerades as legal notice or locator service. Callers typically demand a case number, reference a vague complaint, and push you to dial a secondary toll‑free line. The pattern includes aggressive language, refusal to disclose details, and frequent repeat calls—even at odd hours. To protect yourself, never share Social Security or banking info, hang up if the script feels off, and add the number to your phone’s block list. Report the abuse to the FTC, your state attorney general, and the FCC to help curb the scam. A quick online search of the caller ID often reveals similar complaints.
