Expert Opinion

Surprisingly, many recipients report nonstop calls and texts from +1‑844‑325‑6278 even after filing an FTC claim. The number appears to masquerade as the Federal Trade Commission or IdentityTheft.gov, but the FTC confirms it never initiates outbound calls. Treat any unsolicited verification code or voice‑mail as suspicious. Never share personal data such as Social Security numbers, passwords, or bank details over the phone. Block the number on your device and report it to the FTC’s spam‑call portal. If you suspect identity theft, contact the official IdentityTheft.gov site directly through a trusted browser, not via a callback.
