The most common 649 scams involve fake utility shutoff threats, vehicle warranty extensions, and Social Security impersonation.

⚠️ Red Flag: If a 649 caller demands immediate payment via gift cards, wire transfer, or crypto — hang up. No legitimate organization uses these methods. Verify by calling the company’s official number directly.
