On March 28, 2024, at 5:28 p.m. EDT, a silent voicemail was left from a number displaying “800 Service.” The brief, empty message is a classic hallmark of automated scam attempts that aim to prompt a call‑back. Never return the call to an unknown 800‑style line, as you may be drawn into premium‑rate fees or credential harvesting. Instead, let the voicemail go, block the number in your phone, and report the incident to the FTC’s spam‑call portal. Consider signing up for a reputable call‑blocking service and regularly update your contact preferences with any legitimate businesses that might use similar branding.
At 17:28 EDT on 2024/03/28, my home phone received a call from this number, resulting in a 3-second silent voicemail with a Caller ID stating '800 Service'
