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 call sometimes 2 or 3 times a day and never leave a message. Scam? Verizon has NEVER contacted me like this before and would leave a message if they did. Going to set to ignore.

They continue to call me everyday without leaving a message and just the other day they sent me a text asking for me to make payment via text. My gut instinct is if it really was Verizon they would leave a personal message on my phone or contact another number on the same account.

They call me at least once a day (if not more). It's a pain in the butt. I just have the # on ignore mode for the most part now.
