Imagine getting a call from an unfamiliar Oregon number that never leaves a voicemail and sometimes hangs up instantly. That pattern is typical of a State of Oregon outbound line, which many agencies share for internal outreach. Because the caller ID often shows the same generic landline, it’s hard to pinpoint the exact department. To stay safe, avoid sharing personal or financial details until you independently verify the agency’s official number on a government website. Consider blocking the line or using a call‑screening app, and log the call timestamp for any future complaints to the Oregon Consumer Protection Division. Verification and caution are your best tools.

Today, I missed a call at 4:33 pm, and upon calling back at 6:17 pm, I found that the number was non-functional; although the caller ID indicated a wireless number from Salem, OR, I recognize this number as possibly belonging to the Dept of Human Services or DDS

I was skeptical about this number, so I cheked online and saw all the warnings, I told our Accounting Manager about it, and she said the call was legit, but I stil think it might be a scam, maybe someone is spoofing the number.
