This scam campaign involves a coordinated network of 11 phone numbers operating in conjunction with Executive Lending Group, LLC, a mortgage company with 3 CFPB complaints. The network has generated a total of 62 FTC complaints and 33 FCC complaints across multiple phone lines. The most active numbers include 407-258-6740 with 18 FTC and 33 FCC complaints, 434-645-5695 with 17 FTC complaints, and 434-252-1766 with 12 FTC complaints focused on debt reduction services. Five additional numbers in the network have generated 6 to 9 complaints each, while four numbers show no current complaints but are connected through shared reporting patterns.
The campaign demonstrates sophisticated coordination through 15 documented relationships where phone numbers are consistently reported together by consumers, indicating they operate as part of a unified operation. Key numbers like 434-538-4296 and 385-346-5840 serve as central nodes, each connected to at least five other numbers in the network through co-reporting patterns. The primary scam focuses on unsolicited loan offers, with 434-252-1766 specifically targeting debt reduction services including credit cards, mortgages, and student loans, while most other numbers operate under the generic "Other" category to evade detection.
Geographic targeting shows a nationwide approach with concentrated activity in specific metropolitan areas. Complaints originate from diverse locations including Kings Park, New York; Flower Mound, Texas; Colorado Springs, Colorado; Spartanburg, South Carolina; Providence, Rhode Island; and Plano, Texas, among others. Community reports reveal persistent harassment tactics, with victims receiving up to 5 calls daily for extended periods of 6 months or more. Consumers report that requests for removal from call lists are ignored, and the calls continue despite numbers being registered on the Do Not Call Registry.
Consumer impact is significant, with victims reporting relentless daily harassment that continues for months despite repeated removal requests. The scammers employ high-pressure tactics claiming consumers are "pre-approved" for financial loans and persist with calls throughout weekdays, weekends, and various times of day and night. The operation's use of multiple interconnected numbers allows them to continue harassment even when individual lines are blocked or reported.
To protect yourself from this campaign, never provide personal or financial information to unsolicited callers claiming to offer loans or debt services. Legitimate lenders do not make unsolicited calls offering pre-approved loans. If contacted by any number in this network, hang up immediately and do not engage with the caller or press any numbers. Do not click any links if you receive text messages from these numbers. Report all contact attempts to the FTC at reportfraud.ftc.gov and to the FCC for unwanted calls. You can verify if a phone number has been reported as suspicious by checking consumer protection websites and reverse phone lookup services before answering unknown calls.
This campaign represents a high-threat, coordinated financial scam operation with documented harassment patterns affecting consumers nationwide. Immediate action is recommended for anyone who has been contacted by these numbers: block all associated phone numbers, report the contacts to federal authorities, and monitor your credit reports for any unauthorized activity. The interconnected nature of this network suggests blocking individual numbers may not stop the harassment, making federal reporting crucial for enforcement action.
