The pattern points to a classic phishing‑style nuisance that masquerades as tech‑support or government agencies. Callers flash familiar brand names—AOL, Gmail, even a faux Dir Assist—to coax you into sharing credentials or confirming personal data. Ignoring the call, blocking the number, and never providing passwords are the safest moves. If a transaction shows up on your statement with this number, treat it as a possible card‑present fraud and alert your bank immediately. Keep your device’s security software up‑to‑date and consider a call‑blocking app to reduce future disturbances.
Apparently, a fraudulent transaction was made using my debit card, with this phone number listed instead of the actual merchant name, and I suspect @Kavin may have fallen victim to a similar scam, as I found a $59.76 charge on my account.
To stop unauthorized payments, it's essential to contact the relevant financial institution, such as a bank or credit card company, to halt transactions.
Assistance is needed in contacting the owner of this number, as they are deducting money from my account without authorization, and I require help in resolving this issue.
If you gave them your new password or enterd the code they sent, you made a big mistak, Gmail dont call you, thats just not how it work's!
A similar experience was reported by others, with claims of being from Gmail and requests to change passwords, but it's unclear if anyone has had issues with this.
A call claiming to be from AOL stated that several people were complaining about receiving spam mail from me, but the call ended abruptly when I mentioned changing my password, prompting me to block the number.
A call was made from this number with a Delaware area code, stating to be from Federal Crimes Enforcement unit, a legit branch of the Treasury Dept, i googled and called back, a nice man told me it was a scam, and said do not answer nor respond, they would of sent a letter.
Obviously, these people dont understand how directory assitance works, as they tryed to call me from a Dir Assist DC number
This number keeps calling, but there's never an answer on the other end, it's quite annoying.
The number appears to be invalid, as it cannot be called back, and spamming started recently.
Someone continously calls me from this number, but I never answer and they never leave a message, it's quite annoying
