Ever wonder why these calls feel so urgent? The pattern points to a classic phishing script that pretends to be a government enforcement agency, often mentioning your social security number to spark panic. Callers rely on vague threats and a robotic tone to pressure you into replying, which is why they use a generic “Scammers” label in recordings. The best defense is to let the call go to voicemail, never press any numbers, and verify any alleged agency contact through official channels. Blocking the number and reporting it to your carrier can also curb future attempts.
It's likely that the perpetrators of these scams are aware of their deceitful nature, but they rely on exploiting individuals who are unaware and vulnerable to panic.
