Calls claiming to be from law enforcement without proper identification are almost certainly fraudulent. Legitimate agencies always provide clear details like department name and officer credentials, and they rarely contact via unsolicited phone calls—official notices come by mail or formal channels. Hang up immediately on such calls and report the number to authorities like the FTC or local police. Block the number to prevent repeats, and never share personal info. If concerned about real issues, contact official sources directly using verified numbers. Stay vigilant against these scam tactics that prey on fear.
I got a call out of the blue and couldn't tell if it was legit. It felt a bit vague, so I’m on the fence about this number.
They claimed to represent a law‑enforcement agency but would not disclose the department. As a former police officer, I know officials must provide identification, and such notices typically arrive by mail, not by phone.
