Imagine receiving a call that claims the U.S. government is handing out free cell phones, only to hang up or push you to press a number for “more info.” That pattern matches a classic phone scam that masquerades as a government program while harvesting personal data. Because the callers never leave a voicemail and repeat the script several times a day, they rely on persistence rather than legitimacy. Block the number through your carrier or a reputable call‑blocking app, add it to the national Do‑Not‑Call registry, and never press any keys. Report the abuse to the FCC and stay skeptical of unsolicited offers.
To avoid acknowledging unfamiliar numbers, it's best not to answer or press any buttons, and instead let the call go to voicemail.
A suspicious message was received regarding account status, accompanied by a demand to return the call immediately. However, the provided return number did not match the caller ID, and attempts to call both numbers were unsuccessful, indicating a likely scam.
A message was left stating that the recipient's account status needed to be resolved immediately, allegedly at the behest of a state's Attorney General, though the specifics were vague and suspicious.
Apparently this is a scam as they attempt to sound serious and intimidate you by sending the same message as others, alot of peoples have recived this message.
The callers claim to be from the State Attorney General's office, leaving another call-back number, 435-374-4984, which appears suspicious.
Tired of these daily calls, it's best to ignore them as the identity of the caller is unknown.
Daily calls from this number, sometimes as many as six times, never leave a message. If you pick up, you're either met with silence, a hang-up, or a pre-recorded message impersonating a government program. It seems to be used by an app to harass while concealing the caller's real number.
My dad has been getting alot of calls from this number and they dont leave no messages
They have been callin me 10-15 times, and I had to press 2 to be remuved from ther list 3 times, then I started to bother them, and they just hung up, I think they are tryin to get our personal informations
No one say nothing, no message, it just ring once and disconnect.
Despite requesting to be added to the do not call list after listening to their message about free cell phones from the US Government, I continue to receive calls from this number daily.
Today alone, this number has called eight times in a span of six hours, prompting me to add it to my blocked numbers list
Multiple daily calls result in hang-ups, and when attempting to call back, a message instructs me to use area code 914
Repeated calls are being made from this number, usually several times a day.
The caller claims to offer free cell phones to those who qualify for government assistance, but the call also appears as UNKNOWN.
This number calls me 3 times a day!!!!! I try to press 2 to remove my number from the list every time, finaly i pressed 1 and an indian guy came on, asking me to verify my info... i told him to remove me from the list!!!!!!!!!
Repeated calls are made daily without any messages being left.
Initially, i opted out by pressing 3, but still recieved 3 calls regarding a free cell phone, supposedly as part of a U.S. Govt program, but the indian voice on the other end, who claimeed his name was John, proceded to hang up when i askd him to delete my number.
I have file a complaint with the FCC, these peoples who pretend to be from the US Government should be in prison
The call was a scam, prompting me to press one for a free cellphone or two to be removed from their list, which is a clear indication of fraudulent activity.
Two calls were made from this number today, but no message was left on either occasion.
Today, at 11:35am, I recived a call from this number, which appeard to be a robocall claiming the "US government is giving away free cell phones"; I immediatly blocked it.
