What is a Government Scam Call?

Robocalls that consist of a caller trying to pose as any type of government agency is referred to as a "government scam" call. During these calls, a person will try to convince you that they are an employee of a government agency and that you owe them money or are wanted for arrest. They make these calls in hopes that their victims will wire them money out of the fear of being arrested. You should know, that no government agency will call you and ask you to wire them money over the phone. The most common form of a government scam is the caller pretending to be an IRS employee, and they will tell you that you must send them money to their bank account in order to not be arrested. Other forms of these calls are people pretending to be a part of the Social Security Administration, the FBI, a local police department, or Medicare. These calls can be very convincing as they will know your name, address, and social security number, but you should not trust them. If you are unsure if you are speaking to a government agency or not, you can call the real agency to confirm that it was not them calling you.

I just called them back and had no problems getting an operator...picked up almost immediately. Glad I did call them back because they were calling to collect on a year old moving violation that my husband got while driving my car. Niether of us knew about this because it was taken by one of those pesky cameras and we never received anything in the mail. Anyway, I told the operator that my husband will pay the ticket directly to the city that issued it (just to make sure this isn't a scam) and the operator was OK with that. These people are not telemarketers as they are just trying to collect on a debt that they've been told you owe. Hopefully once my husband pays this ticket, they will leave us alone.

Caller user auto dialer, which according to 1947 Federal Telephone Protection Act is illegal to use when calling a residential line without the owner's prior consent. The auto dialer provides a way to contact an operator but no one is ever there. The only way I could get in contact with them to stop the harassing collection calls is to trap the caller ID and call them back directly.
