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.
