Clearly, these calls are fraudulent. Callers using +1‑801‑903‑1285 appear to target recent movers, throwing out familiar names to gain trust before dodging identification. The pattern matches classic vishing scams: vague purpose, no voicemail, and an immediate urge to hang up. To protect yourself, let your carrier call blocking the number, register with the National Do Not Call Registry, and never share personal or financial details with unknown callers. Report the incident to the FTC and to your state consumer protection office. Stay skeptical of unsolicited outreach, especially when the caller claims local ties but provides none.
Today, I received a call from someone who knew my name, claiming to be a family member, but when I asked who they were, they evaded the question, and I denied being who I am, realizing it was another scam attempt.
I had a similar experience this morning, ignoring the call and receiving no voicemail.
