What are "Government Scams"?

Robocalls that pose to be calls from a legitimate government agency are referred to as "government scams". There are many different forms of these government scams, but the most common is an IRS scam call. This is where a scammer calls you and tells you that you haven’t paid your taxes and there is a warrant out for your arrest. During this call, they will ask you for your social security number, bank account information, home address, and much more. These calls can be very convincing, as they already know your name and possibly know where you work, but they should not be trusted. There are other government scams such as Social Security Administration calls, medicare calls, and police department calls. All of these scam calls will consist of the caller asking for your information and threaten that you will face consequences if you do not give them what they want. These types of calls are illegal, and they should be reported to the police immediately. The best way to avoid becoming a victim to these callers is by hanging up and calling the agency the caller claimed to be apart of. Simply end the call, and call the number of the real agency to see if they truly are needing your information.

Texted me in response to my Craigslist ad and they wanted to purchase my item urgently. Asked if they could call. After responding yes, they texted that I needed to enter an access code as they were calling from Google voice. I answered but did not enter anything. Why could they not just text? Too suspicious. Just received 5 calls from this # in the last 2 min.

I answered a CL ad for a job, got texted to "enter 16 for HR" BUT I HAD ALREADY BEEN CONTACTED N HAD THIS NUMBER BLOCKED so when they started calling, the call block app keeps blocking it. Within ten min they'd dialed my number 9 times. I'm also reporting the 708 number they are texting from.

I had literally bought my new phone & going out the store door, i had 2 calls back to back. Is this coincidense or what!?!! I have been plagued for 2 solid years. I finally bit the bullet & let go of my good ol trusty phone # of 2 years as i had done everything to shake this intruder from my life. I am freaking out about these 2 calls. Thanks for listening.
