Government Imposter Scams
A government imposter scam is a type of fraud where scammers pretend to be officials from government agencies like the IRS, Social Security Administration, Medicare, or even law enforcement. They often contact you via phone, email, text, or social media, claiming you owe money, need to provide personal information, or are entitled to a benefit. Their goal is to steal your money or personal information.
Like most of these scams the victims are kept on the phone and in a state of panic unable to text or phone a friend. They are then directed to their financial institution to withdraw funds and then to a “Bonding Kiosk” which is just to a Crypto Kiosk like CoinMe.
As a reminder, a government agency will NEVER request cryptocurrency as a form of payment.
Microsoft Imposter Scams
Has “Microsoft” contacted you because of a sensitive information breach? Have you received pop-up windows claiming your computer is in Danger? Don’t fall victim to a phishing scam!
Directly from Microsoft’s Website:
“Microsoft will NEVER proactively reach out to you to provide unsolicited PC or technical support. If you receive a phone call claiming to be from Microsoft or see a pop-up window on your PC with a fake warning message and a phone number to call and get your “issue” fixed, it’s better to be safe and not click any links or provide any personal information. Never call the number provided in the error message. Real Microsoft error messages never include a phone number to call.”
