Late last week, a string of calls from 844‑246‑5190 began showing up on dozens of phones, each claiming a mysterious “case file” or urgent action needed with a company called Parkwood. The callers are vague, pressure you to call back, and often mention a name like AAC. This pattern matches classic scam tactics that rely on fear and confusion. If you receive such a call, do not return the call or share personal details. Use your phone’s built‑in block feature, report the number to the FTC at reportfraud.ftc.gov, and alert your carrier. Staying calm and cutting off the contact protects you from potential identity theft or fraudulent fees.
This number has been calling my 21-year-old son, who has no debt, and it's reminiscent of similar calls I received in the past regarding my ex-husband.
This morning, I got a call from a lady claiming my file had been forwarded to their office and demanding immediate action to avoid negative consequences.
I'm also experiencing this issue - what is Parkwood?
This number has been calling my family members asking for me
The message left by this caller is intentionally vague and appears to be a scare tactic designed to prompt the recipient into returning the call.
There has been no activity or issue with this number.
I am unsure what happened with this number.
A woman with a difficult-to-understand accent called, referencing a number to call back, but the purpose of the call was unclear, so I blocked the number
The caller's behavior was highly intrusive, contacting not only me but also my sister and grandparents, and hanging up when I refused to provide information.
After receiving multiple calls from this number, I blocked it, but today I received a message claiming to be from 'Parkwood', which I've also blocked.
We've had a similar experience, with the caller asking for my son, despite my husband not being his father, which raises suspicions of a scam, leading me to block the number.
A phone call and text messages were received, claiming to be from Parkwood, stating that I must call back to avoid escalation, but I am unsure what this pertains to
I have fallen victim to the same scam, receiving a message on my cell phone regarding an alleged case file related to my ex-wife, from whom I divorced 22 years ago, and was instructed to call back to prevent escalation.
I've been recieving multiple calls from this number, they mention a case file number and threaten further action if I dont call back, I also got texts claiming to be from Parkwood, I've blocked the number
A woman from AAC claimed I had to respond urgently, but her lack of knowledge about my first name and claim of prior attempts at contact raised suspicions.
Some woman keeps contacting me, looking for my nephew, she doesnt seem to care about listining, just wants to talk to him, i wish her good luck with that.
Over three days, I received calls from the number (513) 647-5988, with the caller asking for my father and leaving the 844 number in a voicemail. Given that my number has no connection to my dad, this appears to be a scam.
This lady keeps calling me, claming I have an insurence complant agenst me, it's unreal how persistent she is.
