What is a "Government Scam" Robocall?

Scammers who call people posing as a government agency are commonly referred to as "government scams". There are many different agencies these callers pose as, but they most commonly pose as the IRS. They say you have not paid your taxes and are wanted by the government. These calls can be very convincing, as they will usually have your name and home address, but they will request your social security number and sometimes even your bank information. There are other government agencies these scammers pose as, such as your local police department, the Social Security Administration, and Medicare. When people pose as government agencies, they are violating the law and should be reported immediately. If you are unsure if you are truly talking to a legitimate government agency or not, you can hang up the call, and call the real agency. Let them know you received a call asking for your information, and you want to be sure it wasn’t a scam call. The agency will be able to tell you if you are actually in trouble with them or not.

They’ve called me 4 times today and left a fishy voicemail. It comes up on my phone as spam/scam likely. Ignore/block this number. Likely a phishing scam.

This number is not associated with Verizon it is a phishing scam. If you ever received a call from this number call verizon customer care service immediately and ask them how to block the number.

Have been getting text messages that I must make a payment immediately to keep my service. The account is not in my name. Sent them a text telling them that and now I am told to call 800-754-0961 within 24 hours or I will be cut off. When I do, I am told to enter the password (which I do not have) and then told to enter my phone #. Then I am told that they only receive payments by credit cards. I hung up. This has been going on for 4 days. There is no such thing as Verizon Financial Services

they left a message saying they were Verizon Wireless Financial Services. There is no such thing. They are trying to get your information since they didn't have it and were asking for it. Sounded pretty professional though.

Says with automated message that they are Verizon and that I need to call immediately. They call one of my business phones in Florida, asking for me by first name. Give this number. Several days ago, I received a very similar call to the same cell from a local number in my state. Beware and have it blocked.

Supposedly Verizon. I do have a past due balance and they had the total, but only part of it is past due. May be them, may not be. Claimed my phone was going to be shut off today. Told em I'd pay what I owed online and hung up.

THIS IS A SCAM. Just spoke with Verizon (using 611 number) -- and this is NOT a verizon wireless number. Everyone needs to report this number to Verizon so they can address the FRAUD. Also Verizon can BLOCK this number so you do not recieve additional calls. THIS IS A SCAM!
