Imposter scams can take on several forms. For example, one involves a fraudster contacting a consumer, claiming to work for a government agency and attempting to convince them to send money or provide personal information. The fraudster claims to work for the Internal Revenue Service and alerts you that you owe back taxes. The caller may threaten to have you arrested if you don’t pay a specific amount over the phone. Another involves a caller claiming to be from the Social Security Administration, claiming that Social Security benefits may be withheld if you don’t supply specific personal information.
While imposter scams are becoming more commonplace, they can be easily avoided if you know what to look for. Robocalls (calls made using an auto-dialer), for example, can immediately be marked as fraudulent as it is illegal to make sales calls this way. Government agencies also do not use automated calls to contact people. By following these guidelines, you can help protect yourself from imposter scams.
