Ever wonder why a call pretends to be from the Federal Reserve? This kind of scam usually tries to lure victims with promises of huge sums or free Visa cards, hoping they'll reveal personal or banking details. Even if the message arrives by email, the same tactics apply: urgency, official-sounding names, and unrealistic offers. Block the number, report it to your carrier, and forward the content to the FTC or your local consumer protection office. Never share sensitive information, and double‑check any claim by contacting the institution directly using official contact channels. Staying skeptical is the best defense against financial fraud.
I have been receiving emails from this number claiming to be the Federal Reserve Bank, offering a Visa card with a substantial amount of money. Fortunately, I did not fall for the scam, and I advise others to be cautious of such phishing attempts.
