This cybersecurity analysis reveals a coordinated scam campaign operating through five interconnected phone numbers that have generated 16 FTC complaints across multiple fraud categories. The central hub of this operation appears to be 833-807-6378, which connects to all other numbers in the network with high confidence same-campaign relationships. This number has received 5 FTC complaints categorized as "Other" and targets locations including Ludington, Michigan, Mount Juliet, Tennessee, and Austin, Texas. The connected numbers include 771-222-3026 (3 complaints for impersonation scams), 833-445-4588 (3 complaints for impersonation scams), 786-372-0353 (5 complaints for lottery/prize scams), and 915-320-9702 (0 complaints).
The campaign demonstrates sophisticated operational tactics by impersonating legitimate financial institutions and debt collectors. All five phone numbers have been reported together with Bank of America, National Association, while three numbers (771-222-3026, 833-445-4588, and 915-320-9702) are also connected to Account Services Inc., a debt collection company with 8 CFPB complaints. Community reports reveal consistent scripting across the operation, with callers claiming to be from "Clearpoint Tax Release and Mediation Center" and threatening legal action or fraud investigations. Victims report receiving calls from individuals using names like "Riley Stokes" who demand immediate callback to "processors offices" and reference partial social security numbers to appear legitimate.
The geographic targeting pattern shows a nationwide scope with concentrations in Texas (Austin appears for multiple numbers), California (Pasadena, Rio Vista, Lomita for the lottery scam number), Michigan (Ludington, Tekonsha), and scattered locations across Arizona, New Mexico, Georgia, Massachusetts, and Tennessee. This broad distribution suggests the scammers are using automated dialing systems to reach consumers across multiple states rather than focusing on specific regional markets.
To protect yourself from this campaign, never provide personal information to unsolicited callers claiming to represent financial institutions or government agencies. Legitimate companies will not demand immediate callback or threaten legal action during initial contact. If you receive suspicious calls from any of these numbers or similar schemes, hang up immediately and do not click any links in related text messages. Verify any claims by independently contacting the company through official channels listed on their website or statements. Report fraudulent calls to the FTC at reportfraud.ftc.gov or file complaints with the FCC. You can check if a phone number has been reported as suspicious by searching consumer protection databases and reverse phone lookup services.
This represents a moderate-to-high threat level campaign given the coordinated nature across multiple numbers, sophisticated impersonation tactics, and active targeting of consumers nationwide. The 16 documented complaints likely represent a fraction of actual victims. Consumers should remain vigilant for calls from these specific numbers and similar scripts mentioning tax mediation, fraud investigations, or debt collection. Financial institutions and regulatory agencies should be alerted to the misuse of company names in this campaign.
