Who called from (512) 543-4902?

High risk · Real business line — commonly spoofed · Austin, TX

This Austin-area 512 number has been reported twice to the FTC. Web evidence shows Travis County authorities warn that scammers actively spoof local government numbers (sheriff, DA) to impersonate officials and demand payment for fake court dates or loan violations. The number's lack of a known business name, combined with FTC complaints and the pattern of Travis County spoofing scams, suggests this is likely a spoofed legitimate entity rather than an authentic business line.

Advice: Do not answer or call back. If claiming to be law enforcement, hang up and call the official Travis County Sheriff or DA directly using a known public number.
