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.

Robo call, then makes you hold to connect to a person. They call for money before your bill is due, after due, and even more annoying to try and sell you a different package. 5-18 calls a day is the worse part.

It doesn't say, it only asks for a call back number or lets you go to an automated payment center. It says comcast cable at one point, but then it starts to sound more like its someone phishing and pretending they are a cable company.
