Last night, a wave of complaints surfaced about calls from a number claiming to represent AAC. Callers press a fake investigation theme, demand personal details, and threaten escalation if you don’t comply. The script is identical across multiple family members, and the number hangs up when refused, a classic scam pattern. Do not call the number back or share any data; instead, block the caller, report the incident to the FTC and your phone carrier, and warn contacts who might receive the same message. Keep a screenshot of the text, and if you suspect identity theft, consider a credit freeze. Staying vigilant is the best defense.
Multiple calls were made, leaving messages for an unknown individual, which I believe to be a scam given my phone number's long history
I appreciate the investigation into this matter, as I have also been receiving annoying calls and texts from this number, which has left me unsure about their intentions
The claim of being sued, rather than fined, is a distinguishing factor in this scam; they offered payment options but failed to request my address, instead promising to send a court-ordered summons, which seems improbable.
Similarly, I have been receiving calls and texts with the same messages, and when I called back, they requested verification of information before hanging up.
This number called and texted all my family members, and said they would call my HR department and embarrass me, wich is pretty rude
Multiple family members and I received identical calls from this number
My sister and me got a text message, saying to call 8778396601 for AAC, wich is pretty suspisous.
Multiple family members, including myself, received the same call; have you continued to receive calls from this number?
A scam message was received, claiming to be from AAC regarding an open investigation. The message asked to contact a specific number and reference a case file to prevent further action, which is clearly a fraudulent attempt.
