The scam starts with a call from 8779611023, where the scammer claims to be from a company that specializes in debt reduction. They will ask you about your debt and how much you owe, and then they will promise to negotiate with your creditors to reduce the amount you owe. But in order to do this, they need you to pay them a fee, which can be thousands of dollars. They will ask you to pay this fee by buying gift cards and sharing the codes with them, or by giving them your bank account information.

Once you give them the gift card codes or your bank account information, they will take the money and disappear. You will never hear from them again, and you will be left with even more debt than you had before. This is because the scammer will use the gift card codes to buy things for themselves, or they will withdraw the money from your bank account and use it for their own purposes.

how do scammers get your phone number?

Scammers can get your phone number from a variety of sources. They may buy lists of phone numbers from other companies, or they may get your number from a website or social media platform. They may also use automated dialing systems to call thousands of phone numbers at once, in the hopes of getting someone to answer.

Once they have your phone number, they will start calling you repeatedly, trying to get you to answer. They may leave voicemails or send you text messages, trying to get you to call them back. If you do answer, they will try to convince you that they are from a legitimate company and that they can help you with your debt.

But it is all a scam. They are not from a legitimate company, and they cannot help you with your debt. All they want is to get your money, and they will do whatever it takes to get it.

So what can you do to protect yourself from these scammers? First, never give out your personal or financial information to someone who calls you out of the blue. Never buy gift cards or send money to someone you do not know. And never give out your bank account information or credit card numbers to someone who calls you.

Second, be wary of any company that promises to reduce your debt for a fee. Legitimate companies do not charge upfront fees for debt reduction services. And never trust a company that asks you to pay by gift card or wire transfer.

Finally, if you do get a call from 8779611023 or any other number that claims to be from a debt reduction company, hang up immediately. Do not engage with the scammer, and do not give them any information. Instead, report the number to the Federal Trade Commission and block the number on your phone.

Next time your phone rings with a call like this, do not answer it, let it go to voicemail and then block the number.
