Robocalls: What are Government Scams?

A call made by someone who is posing to be a government agency in order to obtain sensitive and private information from the receiver is called a "government scam". This call consists of someone saying the call receiver is in trouble with a government agency so they must give their social security or bank account information. A very common government scam is where the caller poses as an employee of the IRS, and they claim the person receiving the call committed tax fraud and is wanted by the police. The callers can be very convincing, as they will have your full legal name and even your address. However, they are not to be trusted. Other common calls are from people posing as a police officer or sheriff, claiming there is a warrant for your arrest. Others could be pretending to be from the Social Security Administration or the FBI. If you ever receive one of these calls, it is best to just hang up, and never give them any of your information. If you are worried it truly was the government agency, simply hang up and call their legitimate number to confirm it was not them trying to get ahold of you. Keep in mind, no government agency will request your social security number or banking information over the phone if you truly are under investigation.

This is the number that calls me every day to tell me there is a substitute teaching job available, which it is supposed to do. That's why it's so early and late in the day. You will continue to receive those calls until you contact PESG at 1-616-891-0509 and ask them to take you off of their list!

The calls come starting at 5:00-5:30 am and again at 9:00-9:30pm. It has something to do with a job and it offers you the option to opt out of getting the call which we do every time but it doesn't work because the calls keep coming. I have tried to call it back to remove my name and number but it is automated and you can not get past the recording unless you have an ID #. Please stop the calls.....

This number is used by school systems for substitutes. If you are getting unwanted calls then call your school system to talk to the person that deals with substitutes. Someone may have entered your number incorrectly.
