What Is the 844 Area Code Scam?​

The 844 area code scam is a type of scam that uses 1-844 scammer numbers to trick people into giving money or personal information.

One of the most common forms of the 844 area code scam is the technical support scam. In this scam, a scammer will call someone and pretend to be from a legitimate technical support company, such as Microsoft or Apple.

They will then tell the person that their computer has a problem and ask for remote access to fix it. Once they have access, they will either steal personal information or charge the person for unnecessary repairs.

Another form of the 844 area code scam is the debt collection scam. In this scam, a scammer will call someone and claim that they owe money to a company or organization. They will then threaten legal action if the person doesn’t pay up. They will often ask for personal information or payment over the phone.

It’s important to note that some scammers use spoofing technology to make their 1-844 scammer numbers appear legitimate. Spoofing is when a caller disguises their phone number to make it look like they are calling from a different number. This can make it difficult for people to know whether a call is legitimate or not.

To protect yourself from the 844 area code scam and other 1-844 scammer numbers, it’s important to never give personal information or money over the phone to someone you don’t know.

If you receive a suspicious call, hang up and do not call back. It’s also a good idea to use caller ID blocking or call blocking services to block these numbers from reaching your phone. Additionally, you should be aware of common scams and the tactics that scammers use, so that you can recognize a scam when it happens.
