Use community-based reverse lookup tools like Truecaller, WhoCalledUs, or PhoneTracking. These often show spam/complaint history.  \n2. Call it back from another phone to see if a name or business is associated (just use caution).  \n3. Block the number if you suspect it\u2019s spam, and report it to your carrier or to the FTC/FCC.  \n\nIf you want, I can dig a little deeper (through some paid databases) to see if there's anything more specific.

That doesn\u2019t mean it definitely isn\u2019t them\u2014but it does mean there are serious warning signs, especially since the contact is *only by text* and claims to be from Child Welfare.\n\n---\n\nHere are important red flags and steps you can take:\n\n### \u26a0\ufe0f What raises suspicion\n\n1. **Official agencies rarely use only text messaging**  \n   Most Child Welfare or Child Protective Services agencies contact by phone first, make visits, or send formal letters. Texting only is highly unusual.\n\n2. **No verification in public databases**  \n   The number doesn\u2019t appear in any official Oregon Department of Human Services (ODHS) directories or child safety contact lists I searched. ([legalclarity.org](https://legalclarity.org/oregon-dhs-phone-numbers-benefits-hotlines-more/?utm_source=openai))\n\n3. **No government ID or agency verification provided**  \n   If someone texting claims to represent a government agency, they should provide official identifiers\u2014your case number, their full name and department, and a way to confirm with the agency directly.\n\n---\n\n### \ud83d\udee1 What to do to protect yourself\n\n- **Don\u2019t share personal info** until you're sure it\u2019s a legitimate contact. Government agencies should *never* ask for sensitive details like Social Security numbers over text without verification.\n\n- **Call the official number from the agency\u2019s website**, NOT from the text. Oregon DHS main lines include *503-945-5600* for general inquiries. ([legalclarity.org](https://legalclarity.org/oregon-dhs-phone-numbers-benefits-hotlines-more/?utm_source=openai))\n\n- **Look up the contact in your area**. If you\u2019re in Oregon, check your county DHS or CPS office\u2019s official number (often listed on state or county websites) and ask if the person who texted really works with Child Welfare.\n\n- **Ask direct verification**: Ask them to provide an agency ID, case number or name, then check with the agency to confirm. For example, ask for their supervisor's name and number and reach out to that supervisor through official contact channels.\n\n- **Report the incident**. If you're certain the contact is suspicious, you can report it to:\n  \u2022 Your local DHS or CPS office  \n  \u2022 Your state Attorney General or consumer protection agency  \n  \u2022 The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) or similar (often via their complaint websites)\n\n---\n\nIf you share the *county or state* you're in, I can try to find the correct Child Welfare contact info for you to verify things. Do you want me to do that?"

Here\u2019s what I found:\n\n---\n\n### \ud83d\udd0d What the Search Revealed\n\n- Clackamas County\u2019s official guidance for dealing with scams emphasizes that county staff will **never request payment via text** or require *all communication* to happen through emails or texts only. ([clackamas.us](https://www.clackamas.us/news/2026-01-15/protect-your-information?utm_source=openai))  \n- County websites list multiple verified numbers for Child Welfare and DHS. The main DHS number for Child Welfare in Clackamas County is **971-673-7200**. The county\u2019s Child Protective Services hotline is **1-855-503-7233**. ([clackamas.us](https://www.clackamas.us/behavioralhealth/tri-county-resource-guide?utm_source=openai))  \n- Resources like reverse-lookup tools, \u201cCalledFrom,\u201d and community forums did **not** show any existing public complaints or verified incidents involving **503-979-1105**. ([calledfrom.com](https://calledfrom.com/?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n### \u26a0 What This Means\n\n- **Absence of evidence doesn\u2019t prove legitimacy.** Just because I didn\u2019t find reports doesn\u2019t mean the number is safe. Scammers often cycle through new phone numbers to avoid detection.\n- **Text-only contact is unusual.** Official Child Welfare or DHS communication generally comes through more formal channels: phone calls with real people, official letters, or in-person visits\u2014not just texts. The Clackamas County website clearly states they will not require payment through texts or give orders exclusively via messages. ([clackamas.us](https://www.clackamas.us/news/2026-01-15/protect-your-information?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\nIf you like, I can also check:\n\n- FCC or FTC databases to see if anyone has filed complaints there about this number  \n- Social media or local news sources for any recent coverage  \n\nDo you want me to look into those too?"

([consumercomplaints.fcc.gov](https://consumercomplaints.fcc.gov/hc/en-us?utm_source=openai))\n\n- **Community & Reverse Lookup Forums** (CalledFrom, etc.)  \n  These usual sources of user-submitted reports also showed no credible history of misuse or scams connected to 503-979-1105.

Here are important limitations:\n\n- Scammers may change numbers frequently.\n- Many people don\u2019t report scam attempts.\n- Public records may lag behind real-time usages or localized incidents.\n\n---\n\n### \u2705 What you can do next\n\n- **Report what you have**  \n  If you feel uneasy or suspect they're trying something deceptive, you can report the number to:\n  \u2022 The FTC at ReportFraud.ftc.gov ([ftc.gov](https://www.ftc.gov/media/how-report-fraud-reportfraudftcgov?utm_source=openai))  \n  \u2022 The FCC (consumer complaints) ([consumercomplaints.fcc.gov](https://consumercomplaints.fcc.gov/hc/en-us?utm_source=openai))\n\n- **Check your phone/text records** for evidence of spoofing, location mismatch, or pressure tactics\u2014these are common signs of scams.\n\n- **Use the official Clackamas County and Oregon DHS contact numbers** (I shared earlier) to cross-check if whoever\u2019s texting is genuinely from Child Welfare.\n\nIf you want, I can also help you put together a message or script to contact the agencies safely."

I found **no credible source** that confirms this number is officially used by the supervisor of Child Welfare.\n\n---\n\n## \ud83d\udd0d What I Was Able to Confirm\n\n- The main verified phone number for Clackamas County DHS Child Welfare (Oregon Department of Human Services) is **971-673-7200**. ([oregon.gov](https://www.oregon.gov/oha/PH/PROVIDERPARTNERRESOURCES/EMS/EMSFORCHILDREN/Documents/Behavioral-County-Mental-Health-Crisis-Line-DHS-Resource-List.pdf?utm_source=openai))  \n- The Child Abuse & Neglect reporting hotline in Oregon is **1-855-503-SAFE (7233)**. ([clackamas.us](https://www.clackamas.us/da/child-abuse?utm_source=openai))  \n- Clackamas County provides multiple official numbers in its Juvenile Department and DHS, but **971-673-7232** does not appear in those listings.

Then independently verify those through official Clackamas County or Oregon DHS websites.\n- Don\u2019t provide personal details, agree to anything, or pay anything until you\u2019ve confirmed they\u2019re legitimate.\n\nIf you like, I can double-check internal staff directories or public records to see if that specific number is ever listed anywhere official. Do you want me to do that?"
