That's a load of BS, claiming to be an FCC Investigator
Westlake Financial calls: what to do next?
Summary — +18883335662
Expert Opinion
Late Tuesday night, a wave of calls from 888‑333‑5662 has left many puzzled. The number belongs to Westlake Financial, a car‑loan financing firm that often reaches out about past‑due balances. If you don’t have a loan with them, treat the call as potentially unwanted and verify the claim before sharing any personal data. Ask for a written notice, request the caller’s name and a callback number, and confirm the account details through the official website or a known phone line. You can also place the number on the do‑not‑call list, file a complaint with the FTC, and consider a call‑blocking app to curb future interruptions.

Apparently, WESTLAKE FINANCIAL SERVICES, a company offering car loans, is associated with this number. It's likely that an acquaintance has provided your personal details, including name, address, and phone number, as a reference for their loan application. Although this practice may not be illegal, it can be unsettling. If you haven't taken out a loan with WFS and are receiving calls from them, it's possible that the loan holder is defaulting on payments, and WFS is attempting to contact them or recover the vehicle. This was the case when I received a call from them, as they mentioned the name of the individual, who I happen to know. Frankly, I'm surprised they were able to secure a $9,000 car loan from WFS, given their questionable creditworthiness.
It appears to be a scheme designed to encourage people to call back and verify the presence of a live person on the other end, with the ultimate goal of solicitation.
