Recent patterns show a surge in calls that masquerade as local businesses, often tagging the number with a Texas label. Callers rely on spoofing to appear legitimate, then switch to a scripted robocall that pressures victims to send money back for an alleged overpayment. The mention of “Merchant Services” aligns with common financial‑scam scripts that claim corporate offices need account statements. Best practice is to let the call go to voicemail, never share personal or banking details, and verify any request directly with the institution using known contact info. Consider a call‑blocking app and report the number to your carrier.
