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.

the caller never got to the point. He said he was with AT&T but when i asked if he worked directly for them he said he worked for a different firm (i don't recall the name) When I asked him to get to the point of his call he did not share with me what it was. He disconnected after telling me to have a good day.

I do have AT&T - have had for years. I just received a call from this number. The funny thing is, I just upgraded 2 of my cell phones half an hour ago over the internet. I did not answer (not knowing the caller #) and they did not leave a message. Wish they had if it was in regard to my upgrades. Curious....

"free trial" mobile e-mail which I had to cancel after certain "trial time" or else would be charged with it. They have no right to change an existing contract without my concent, and make it costly and next to impossible for me to cancel an unsolicited service.

LoveGenie Tips Alert sent 3 times a month to my cell phone number for $9.99 a month. AT&T told me that just by reading the text message I authorized Wise Media to charge me on my Cell Phone bill $9.99 a month every month and the telephone number given to me by AT&T was an AT&T number.

This is from AT&T customer service so unblock them. They are calling you back because you had requested them to do so.

This number just called my husbands cell and since he didnt know who it was he didnt pick up. They didnt leave a message thats why I came into here to check it out. As usual coming in here to check on these things was a wise idea. :) Honestly I wish these scammers would get caught and shipped to the moon.

AT&T charge me $ 149.00 but when I called, they do not know why charged, I do not think so to belong AT&T maybe is other fraud company that use this company. I called many time to refund the money, they said " I do not idea why charge this amount" my phone is under my daugther phone with my husband. This company is fraud and the phone too, please investigate this number 800-331-0500 and put in the jail all this fraud people.

No name was given. Just said she was a representative from Nation wide Recovery center which is a collection agency for AT@T mobility units and that I have 4 accounts not paid for. I don't have AT@T and never had it. They gave me an account #18802635-005 and I was to call the above number. They also gave me the last two numbers of my SS # which could have been a good guess!! She also supposedly gave me one of the numbers of one of the mobile phones which was 414-491-0793. The only thing this person really had was my phone number so I pretty much figured it was a scam.
