I have no idea what this call is about. I receive calls from the same area code and prefix, but the last 4 digits change. I block the number every time, but they call back with the last 4 digits different. It says "select 1" to talk to customer service, 2 to put on do-not-call list. I have tried both numbers, but I never talk to anyone and they keep calling back.

The calls started 2 months ago. A recorded voice with the name of Melody, very young, informed me I needed to call back within 3 days to have my college loan forgiven. After I blocked the first call, the number changed many times. In this month of Nov. 2017, it is now my area code with over 50 calls with the same message from a man. This man sounds live, he sounds impatient with me that I won't return calls. In Sept., I had from the call date to the 30th of Sept. to "take advantage of this govt. program". Same voice mostly, varying to an African-American woman. I have blocked over 50 numbers. No money lost. Sometimes they hang up on me if I answer and tell them that whatever the name of the loan holder, it isn't my govt. loan's name.

Not sure what if anything you can do about this, but someone has stolen my personal cell phone number and they're using it for scamming. I have received multiple calls of strangers claiming they received a call from my number even though I have not made any calls and there is nothing on my outgoing phone logs. I don't know how to stop/report this or what can be done to stop this person from using my number, especially if they are able to succeed at gathering someone else's personal information and then when that victim figures out it was fake, they're going to be calling ME back since it's my phone number that the scammer stole and used. I do not want to change my personal phone number as I've had this number for decades and it is used for both personal and work and I would have to update an entire healthcare institution and all contacts I know of a new number, also there is nothing from stopping the scammer from stealing my new phone number if I switch to a new number so I really hope something can be done to stop this and catch the criminal without me having to change numbers.

I received calls from this number about a discount on my Washington Gas bill. They ask for your account number. They know all of your pertinent public information, which gives the appearance of legitimacy. However, they are scammers.

Type of a scam Phishing

The scammer called from my home state area code (804) and left a message stating that they were my brother who I just had attempted to call. When I returned the call a woman answered, and I asked to speak to my brother. The caller stated, "This is your sister". I stated to the caller that I did not have a sister and added that she had 10 seconds to identify herself. She asked, "What are you going to do hang up?" I said, "Yes" and the scammer hung up immediately.

The IRS has been trying to contact me for the last 6 months and that an international fraud lawsuit has been filed against me" I did not return that call as instructed because it was an obvious scam.

Type of a scam Identity Theft

I just had a phone call asking me "Is this Bob". I replied yes and they said "Thanks, I am just confirming your phone number " and hung up. Something doesn't sound right. I googled scams and it appears that all they want is me to say "yes" and then use that recording to have phoney invoices sent to me.
