Expert Opinion

Calls that appear as 6000 seem to surface out of the blue, and users are sharing the same odd experience. Most recordings describe an automated voice urging you to press a key to “reactivate” a bank or credit‑card account that you never owned. This pattern matches common robocall scams that rely on spoofed short numbers to bypass caller‑ID filters. Never press any prompts, and never disclose Social Security numbers, credit‑card details, or passwords. Hang up immediately, add the number to your phone’s block list, and consider a third‑party call‑blocking app. Report the incident to the FTC or your local consumer‑protection agency, and alert your bank if any account appears in the script.
