Scam Caller Pretends to Be Government Agent
Summary — +12026839053
Expert Opinion
People keep reporting that the call claims to be from a federal agency or an award program, but the script is a classic robocall scam—pretending to be a government official, a sweepstakes manager, or a consumer‑protection agent. The voice often has an Indian or Hispanic accent, and the message mentions a nonexistent trust fund, a huge prize, or alleged fraud tied to your name. Hang up immediately, block the number, and never share personal data or pay fees. If you’re unsure, search the number online and report the call to the FTC or your carrier’s fraud line. Staying skeptical is the best defense.
