Although the caller ID indicated it was from the US government, the call was a robocall about an overcharged electric bill, asking me to press 1 for a rebate.
Is This Government Call a Scam?
Summary — +13015864699
Expert Opinion
Like a broken spam filter, that call masquerades as official business but delivers a generic robo‑script about an electric bill rebate. The mismatch between the claimed agency and the vague offer is a classic hallmark of phone scams. Callers often exploit trust in government identifiers to lure victims into pressing buttons that could confirm personal data or trigger premium‑rate charges. If you receive a similar call, hang up immediately, never press any keys, and verify the claim through official channels—such as your utility’s website or a known government contact number. Report the number to the FTC and consider blocking it on your device.
