Today, multiple scam calls were received, allegedly from Progressive, asking to call another number and enter a code, but upon contacting Progressive, they confirmed it was a scam and my account was in good standing
Scam alert: fake Progressive message codes
Summary — +18668404148
Expert Opinion
Like a wolf in sheep's clothing, the calls from 866‑840‑4246 masquerading as Progressive aim to harvest personal data via a bogus message code trick. Callers often know your name and even a spouse’s, but the genuine insurer never asks you to dial a separate number for a “message.” The safest play is to hang up, ignore any callback request, and confirm your policy status through the official website or the number on your ID card. Report the incident to the FCC and your phone carrier’s fraud department, and consider adding the spoofed number to your block list to stop future attempts.
