High risk · Likely scam / robocall · Toll-free (US/Canada)
This number is reported to the FTC twice for warranties & protection plan scams, and multiple third-party sources (CallerSmart, 800notes, Reddit, Instagram) document it as an auto warranty scam robocall. Evidence of spoofing is present (different originating number with this as callback), consistent with organized scam operations.
Advice: Do not answer or call back. Report to FTC at ReportFraud.ftc.gov and file with your phone carrier.
