Number was used by scammer. Hacked into my friends’ messenger when we were talking. Asked me to send money to fix car (I thought it was still my friend, but he was unable to access conversation from time hacker entered). I lost $100 because I thought it was my friend. Cashapp tag $Lmh1121 Laura Gilpin. Pay close attention to the way friends message you. C****es in nuance, tone, broken English, etc alerted me to situation, but it was too late.
Same Foreign call center cold call – this one was “American Claims” to see if I was in accident. Prior calls were proven to be One Digital of Chicago, IL (312-756-8874) and Clear Link of D****r, UT (801-424-0018). I have those calls recorded and one is on YouTube at https://youtu.be/uPz6uaHMG9E w/notes. My phone service already had this marked as a spam number.
Same overseas (India) scam telemarketer ID theft group, this call claimed to be w/Medicare & said they were offering free hearing aids or medical alert pendant, but they needed my Medicare #. No one here is old enough for Medicare. They often call posing as a cable company, Medicare & other Govt offices, banks etc.
