For three weeks, I've been receiving calls from this number, allegedly representing CenturyLink, despite not having an account with them for over four years. The calls are frequent, sometimes three times a day, and when I returned the call, I was asked to undergo a lengthy verification process. The call was routed overseas, and the representative's limited English proficiency raised suspicions of a potential phishing scam or unwanted sales pitch, prompting me to block the number.

Expert Opinion
Bottom line: most calls from +1‑888‑277‑7619 turn out to be scams pretending to be CenturyLink or Brightspeed. Callers often cite a closed account, an over‑charge refund, or a vague verification request to pull personal data. Since the number is unlisted and the voice quality is poor, treat any unsolicited request for information as suspicious. Hang up, never share passwords or payment details, and block the number in your phone or through your carrier. Report the nuisance to the FTC and your state's consumer protection office. Stay alert for phishing tactics and any dubious verification steps.
