Recent call logs reveal a classic impersonation script that pretends to be the Federal Reserve. The caller pressures the recipient to press a key, then asks for personal details under the guise of “account verification.” This scam leverages authority bias and urgency, making victims more likely to comply. Avoid sharing any name, address, or financial info; simply hang up and block the number. Verify any alleged bank or government issues by contacting the institution directly using official contact details. Report the incident to the FTC or your state’s consumer protection agency. Staying skeptical of unexpected calls that demand immediate action is the best defense against these fraudulent tactics.
I recieved a message saying the fed reserve found a problem with my account, but it was a scam, i played along and gave them a fake name, but they didnt fall for it.
