voicemail scam

A user received a voicemail from a number in their area code with the same first three digits as their phone number. The message included their name and a vague request to call back, raising concerns about a potential scam. The caller's number also resembled the user's mother's number, and a second call displayed a name linked to a Tennessee politician, though the area code mismatched.

A person received two voicemails over a year apart featuring a creepy, human-sounding voice saying their first name in a disturbing tone. The voicemails, which originated over WiFi and could not be traced by their phone carrier, are suspected to be part of a scam.
