Why You Should Watch Out for Government Scam Calls

Spam calls made by people who are trying to impersonate a legitimate government agency are commonly referred to as "government scams". These scammers make the calls to try to get private information from the people they are calling. The most common government agency scammers try to pose as is the IRS. They will call people and tell them they are wanted by the police for tax fraud or unpaid taxes. These calls can be very convincing, as they will tell you your full legal name as well as your address or social security number. However, they are scam calls are should not be trusted. Other agencies these robocalls pose as are the Social Security Administration, Medicare, the FBI, or police departments. All of these calls are spam calls and the callers are committing a crime, so you should not wire money to them or confirm your bank account information. The best thing to do when you believe you are unsure if you are having a conversation with a scammer is to hang up and call the real agency. True government agencies can be trusted and they will confirm whether or not you are wanted for a crime or have not paid your taxes.

I've been getting calls from this number 3 times a day! My bill is current so I don't know why they would call me. Isn't this the type of thing that causes Class Action Lawsuits? I'm sure it is against FCC and Soliciting policies.

Caller stated that a service tech was in my area and noticed from outside somewhere that i had "leakage" from within my house that could possibly cause a service interruption. Caller stated that i had to schedule an appt. Caller would not give a detailed reason to what would cause the issue and that a technician has to come out and troubleshoot the problem. Caller stated that if i didn't schedule an appointment, my internet, that i pay for before the due date every month will be cancelled. Why are they so adamant about coming into my home? with no detailed information other than "leakage" Not good enough for me. I want specifics!

There is no legitimate reason for Comcast to be calling my cell phone, if this is Comcast, since my house phone is the number associated with my account. So this caller is NOT legit and absolutely is spam.

They call constantly, at inappropriate times, and rarely if ever leave a message. If you are 5 minutes late paying your exorbitant bill for their now painstakingly slow internet service, the harassment escalates. I used to like and recommend Concast (sic), but these kind of tactics have me hating this company and desperately seeking an alternative to this near monopoly.
I HATE COMCAST.

Received two calls today, the first at 2:54 pm the second at 4:40 pm. I usually do not answer unknown calls but the Caller ID said Comcast so felt I'd better answer. The 1st call I heard only a lot of background noise and there was no response to my "Hello", "Hello." The 2nd time someone was there, but it was very hard to understand him and there was a lot of background noise. I told him so and he tried to correct both but I still had trouble understanding him, He gave me my street address but mispronounced the name of the street. He told me that he had a special offer and would reduce my monthly bill to $39.99. but I would need to pay a full 6 months in advance and do so today. About that time I told him I was NOT interested and hung up. Why did I get this kind of call from Comcast? I DON'T LIKE IT!!!

They called several times per day and I finally answered. An automated system stated I needed to enter my 10 digit phone number to continue. I entered nothing after repeated requests for the number it went to a live person. Couldn't understand much do to heavy accents, but they did say they were Comcast. They did not know why I received the automated call but said they could put me on a no call list if I gave them my number. I declined and hung up. Seemed like a scam to me.
