I was very annoyed by the phone calls from this number. Repeated calls with nobody on the other end and only left silent voice mail messages. After reading other peoples' comments here, I realized that Progressive is also my auto insurance carrier and I never updated our drivers' license numbers with them. While the phone calls seem shady, I'm starting to think they are valid. Regardless, don't give them the information when they call you. Call Progressive yourself or update your info online.

I originally thought it was a scam (and all these comments made me even more paranoid). However, I did call their callback number which stated that I had a license in another start (i.e., my previous state) and they wanted to verify which I had. I was instructed to press 1 (or something) to speak with a rep (they also mentioned that I could call 1-800-PROGRESSIVE directly if the time wasn't convenient). So, I opted to call the number I had for Progressive directly because, naturally, I trusted that more. I spoke with a rep, told them what happened and they confirmed that it was them and that they had my license info down from my previous state. I updated it right then and there and that was the end of our call.

So, yes, it is legit; but the way they go about it is creepy. My advice is to just call Progressive directly.

Got a call from this number today at 9:24am. Didn't leave voice message.

Received a call from this number asking for my girlfriend, who's also on the same policy. I wrote down the info and then with a Google search, ended up here. I don't trust phone calls, will likely respond with a request to either send forms in the mail or if they need updates, it can be done online.

I received a call yesterday from a number I did not recognize, which I answered. There was only silence on the other end, so I Googled the number and from reading the comments I determined it to be a phishing number. That number called again this morning, which I did not answer. Three minutes later, this number called me (866-840-4246). I thought the two numbers could be related, so I did not answer. After they didn't leave a message, I came on here and read the comments.

I have Progressive insurance, and I switched my policy from NY to MD last year when I bought a new car after moving to MD. The comments sounded like it could be Progressive robo-calling to have me update my license information. Rather than call Progressive back, I logged into my policy online, and they did have my outdated NY license info. I updated the policy to show my MD number, and I assume this number won't call again.

This is legit, it is Progressive.  There was an automated message that says it is a call from Progressive and that there were two driver's licenses on my account.  When I connected to an agent, he explained that there is an automated system that scans account information to look for inconsistencies.  I had moved from FL to MD two years earlier (staying with Progressive) and so, I figured this was legit, especially since he knew what the other state was and my vehicle make and model (without me telling him).  I checked my on-line account at Progressive after the call and saw a policy change noted that said my DL had be updated from FL to MD.

Unwanted caller

Got several calls with no message and then most recent call they left message. Scary they have all the names of drivers on my policy and left in message. I contacted Progressive and they don't have any record of contacting me. Scam!

"Progressive" called today to verify some drivers license info. The guy new my first name and asked me to verify my identity by saying my last name and birthday. I asked him to tell me my policy number. He said we cant give that out until you verify your identity which is standard. I said "sure but you called me. I need to verify who you are. He said "im calling from from
progressive". So i said " i verifyyou are talking to me" and ended by telling him Ill call progressive back directly. I did and sure enough...it was information phishing

Got two calls today from this number to my cell.  No message left.

This number called me today and didnt leave a message.  I have progressive but I do all business with them on their website internet. Im not returning the call. Glad I checked this site

It is actually Progressive apparently.  After giving my name, dob and drivers license I started to get a bit freaked out and immediately regretted it.  I logged into my account online and it showed the call and the update to my info.  It was from a driver's license in another state that hadn't gotten updated even though I moved 6 years ago.  Why it took them that long to say I needed to update my license, I don't know.  Agreed that the way they go about it is creepy.  I should have just hung up and called their main number.

Got a call today from this number to my cell.  No message left.

This number called me and stayed the same things as above that they needed to update my drivers license number.  I felt weird about it so I said I would call back with the information.  I then called Progreasive directly and told them what happened and the progressive rep said that she did show that I got a calm from them about needing to update my DL number so I updated it with her.

Got a call from this number wanting me to give them my birthday and drivers license number. Seems like a phishing scam to me.

Report the call to your states Attorney General's office.  Also the Better Business Bureau.    This is personal information - MAKE THE CALLER GIVE YOU INFORMATION THAT PROGRESSIVE SHOULD HAVE ON YOU..... BETTER YET...  JUST TELL THEM THIS NUMBER IS BEING FORWARDED TO THE STATE ATT GEN OFFICE.   The practice of calling and verifying info.... IS NOT WARRANTED.   IF Progressive doesn't get aggressive about this....  then I suggest everyone put a CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST PROGRESSIVE FOR MARKETING PRACTICES.....    one way or another DO NOT GIVE ANY INFORMATION!!!!

Called claiming to be Progressive (which I do have).  Asked for DL, at that point hung up.

Called 8 times with 1 voicemail at 7PM. Says it's progressive with an important message on my account and to call back and enter a code. I went to Progressive's site, called their customer service line-- no one from Progressive called me. I asked if the phone number was on of their and the representative said no it didn't match anything she had for them. If I were you I would not call it back. If you think there's a reason then call Progressive yourself and let them verify. Too many scammers out there!

Received a call from this number, no voicemail. After reading the comments I thought no harm to call them back. I got a message asking me to verify my drivers license and to call 1-800-PROGRESSIVE. So it seems legit. It appears they do have a system scanning accounts for inaccuracies and robo calling people for an update. They seem to have improved practices directing you to contact them back via main number. Wish they would have left a message though.

Just got a call from this number and they actually had my old Missouri drivers license number from 5 years ago which made me think they may be real but apparently not. What do I do about retaliation for this company?
