Usually they supply a map showing where the number would be if it were legitimate, but that doesn’t reveal the actual tower that originated the call. I’d love to see the real‑location algorithm – it could help police track down scammers. This looks like a scammer’s line; the prefixes are the same with only the last four digits changing (e.g., 5159, 5151, 5111, 5196, 1197, 5280, 1199, 1195). In my opinion they’re all from the same operation. I just block, delete, and report – it’s free to warn others about these scum, yeah.

Expert Opinion
Ever wondered why this number keeps ringing your phone? It’s likely part of a scam operation that uses similar prefixes to mask its true origin. The pattern you’ve spotted—multiple extensions sharing the same first digits—suggests a bulk‑dialing setup aimed at catching anyone who answers. Best practice is to ignore the call, block the number in your device, and report it to your carrier or a consumer protection agency. Keeping a call‑log can help you spot trends, and sharing the information with others can reduce the scam’s reach. Stay cautious and never share personal details with unknown callers.
