What to do
If (201) 499-9045 called you
- Let it go to voicemail if you do not recognize it; real callers leave a message.
- Don't share codes or personal details on a call you did not expect.

Is (201) 499-9045 a scam?

How do I stop calls from (201) 499-9045?
Block it on your phone. On an iPhone, open Recents, tap the info button next to the call and choose Block Caller. On Android, open Recents, touch and hold the call and choose Block.
