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.

Did not answer the call, but should have. These are emergency alerts for your area.And they may save your life or someone else's.866-419-500. Believe me I get a lot of robo calls and now texts.Block everyone. If it is not a call forom your now living area you should finf out how to change that. If I get call anytime day or night I don't care. What if it's a tornado, I would definitly want ed know. I have personally been in a tornado, several hurricanes, including Micheal which I lost my home, I amstill in a shelter.I got a call yesterday because of the freeze warnings.

CodeRed is an Emergency message system that many municipalities use to get word out to their citizens via a robocall. Many times it is severe weather warnings for the call recipient's location
or community emergency such as an Amber Alert.
CodeRed is NOT a scam or spam! If you don't want the call, call your city hall... they signed you up if, you didn't sign up yourselves.

Unwanted robocall from the local thugs who work to oppress taxpaying citizens every day for victimless crimes. They call themselves the sheriff's office. I called back to try to opt out of this garbage, but nothing happened.

This is a Reverse-911 system that notifies people of emergencies in the area. This evening I received this call saying there is a state-wide (Washington) outage of the 911 system and gave alternative numbers to call. This was verified by my county's social media page.
