Expert Opinion

Late night rings from an unknown source have become a nuisance for many. Callers repeatedly claim to be from CenturyLink, often flashing the last four digits of a Social Security number before demanding the full details. This pattern matches a classic scam aimed at harvesting personal data. Hang up immediately, avoid confirming any information, and use your phone’s built‑in block feature or a third‑party app. Report the number to the FTC and your carrier’s fraud department. If you receive a voicemail, treat it as suspicious and do not call back the listed number—verify any legitimate service issues directly through the official CenturyLink website or customer line.
