Genuine 775 calls come from local businesses and residents. Because a familiar area code can be spoofed by anyone, don't assume a 775 call is trustworthy just because it looks local.
Red flags to watch for
- Pressure to act right now, or threats of arrest, fines, or service being cut off.
- Requests to pay with gift cards, wire transfer, crypto, or a payment app.
- Asking for passwords, one-time codes, your SSN, or full card/bank numbers.
