Robocalls: Government Scam Calls

Robocalls that pose to be legitimate government agencies but are in reality scams are labeled as "government scams". There are various types of government scams, with the IRS being impersonated being the most common. This is where a robocall is made pretending to be an IRS employee trying to trick you into believing that you committed tax fraud or owe the IRS taxes. Oftentimes, these scams can be very convincing, as they will have access to your personal information about you, such as your address and even your social security number. Other common government agencies that are used in these calls are the Social Security Administration, Medicare, or local law enforcement. All of these government scam robocalls are illegal, and you should never wire anyone money based off of threats made in a phone call. The best practice to avoid getting scammed is to call the government agency the caller is claiming to be apart of, and asking them to confirm you are truly talking to one of their employees. You can also ask them if they are needing you to pay tax or answer questions related to a crime the caller is talking about. If the real government agency says you are talking to a scammer, you should hang up and block the number.

Call from 1 800 351 0500 this morning at 630 PST, claims that my ATT account is suspended - and then asked for last 4 digits of SSN and ATT account password - did not give those since I do not have ATT account - clearly a fraud, called back to the number and there is ATT sales for TVs and wireless.

Caller: ATT

Looks like this number, 800-331-0050, is making the rounds again. It is March 21, 2018 and I see this number has been an active scam number since 2007. I can't believe they haven't been shut down by now with a record of so many complaints. I am glad I did not pick it up, and instead researched the number on the internet.
