923

my friend got a call from #923 and now she has to factory reset her phone because it seems someone has been keeping track of what she does on her phone since last Friday. I don't know what is going on with it, but it is sketchy!

Got a call at 12:40am; didn't answer and they didn't leave voicemail.

Just got a call at 1:11am from "923." I did not answer, and they did not leave a message.

Got a call from 923 at 4:55 am!! Didn't answer..

@bailey,

Do you have more details on how the factory reset is related to #923?

@bailey

No doubt, let us know, but...  I think the factory reset stuff is unrelated. Its just a phone call, after all. Received around 11 a.m. today on my Sprint HTC.

I also received the same thing today at 3:13pm and pressed "1" like a dummy.  They then ask you to press "1" again to reactiviate or to press "2" to end the call.  I pressed "2" and it asked me the same question again so I hung up...  what kind of issue is this going to cause me?

same thing happened to me. i hung up after the options. they called around 4:30 pm. checked my bank account and everything was fine. does anyome know whats going on with this ?

None.  

You're only sending dial tones (at the scammers request) to let the scammers know someone answered.  They hear the tone(s), and that's what queues the human 'operator' to grab that line and try to elicit information from you.

But that in itself does nothing to your phone or account, as the scammers do not have access to your mobile device or account(s).

They're not that sophisticated.  If they already had account access, then they wouldn't bother calling you.  The calls are a fishing attempt to get information from you while on the phone.

I hope that puts your device/account concerns to rest as far as sending dial tones goes.  :)

Same thing happened to me - 534 am  from a 923 number - "Press 1 to speak to reactivate your acct"
I just hung up.

My husband got the call this morning and I just got it. I pressed on to be sent to the "security" department. It asked me to entery 16 digit card number. I have no idea what net spend is, I just entered a random 16 digit, said it was not a valid card so I hung up.

Same thing happened and I did the same.  Someone needed profanity in their ear for waking me up.

This # is a scam

For Weeks, I have gotten random one-ring, no caller- ID calls at 2, 3, 4 am in the morning. For the first time hours ago the call came in with ”923” only. One ring....how annoying! Has anyone else had the calls multiple times un the middle if the night? T-mobile

I got a call from just "923" at 1:30 this morning startled me does anyone who is calling from this 3 digit number?

Received call from 923 at 12:05 am (midnight) on May 12. I happened to had made a payment over the internet 5 minutes before. I picked up and the automated voice said "we regret to inform you that your account has been locked." For something something (don't remember), press one. I pressed one and it asked for the 16 digits in my card, then I hung up. I called my bank and they said my account was fine, they did not make the call.

Just got the call on my cell as was... Computer generated voice with a generic request??? Pretty clearly a phishing attempt. Anyone getting this should hang up and block the number.

I too just got this call. 330 pm....

I got it today.seems I'm locked out of an account I don't have. Just hung up.

got the "locked acct" from 923 at 2:30 am
