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.

Recorded message about late payment. They start if you're one day late and call at least once (sometimes multiple) times everyday until paid. Very annoying.

This is AT&T and they use ALOT of different numbers both 800 and in YOUR area. If you are one day late they start the calls & text mssgs and voicemails. Some 2-3 times a day. Some even when you are NOT late! TOTAL harrashment. They called when I was at my dying grandson's side and then seveal times that day. I called and advised them NOT to call during the day and what they had done when sitting in the hosp with him. THEY DO NOT CARE- THEY CONTINUE TO CALL, HARRASH, LEAVING BOTH MESSAGES AND TEST MSG. I WILL DROP THEM IN A FEW MONTHS WHEN CONTRACT IS UP. DON'T NEED AND SICK OF HARRASHMENT WHEN BILL IS NOT LATE & BEEN PAID. STAY AWAY FROM AT&T. FAMILY GETS BOGUS CHARGES AND HAVE TO CALL EVERY MO & GET ADJ. KEEP AWAY OR YOU'LL BE HARRASHED!
