High risk · Likely scam / robocall · Austin, TX

This number has been reported to the FTC twice for impersonation calls (government, businesses, and family members)—a classic spoofing/scam pattern. While web results show general Austin-area spam complaints and spoofing education, the FTC complaints directly linking this specific number to deceptive impersonation calls provide strong evidence of scam activity.
