Late Tuesday morning, several contractors reported receiving calls from a number claiming to represent federal agencies like the GSA or a so‑called “Federal Services” division. Callers introduced themselves as Shirley or Susan and insisted on speaking only with the business owner, using familiar language and sometimes a patronizing “hun.” The pattern matches classic scam tactics that exploit government credibility to extract contact details or payment. Hang up immediately, never share personal or financial information, and verify any request through official channels. Block the number, report it to the FTC, and educate staff on recognizing federal impersonation attempts.
It's evident that companies like these can find ways to contact the business owner directly, though the method is unclear.
This individual claimed to be Shirley from IGC, seeking a contractor for federal facility roofing in the Denver area, and insisted on speaking only to the owner, addressing me in an unprofessional manner.
A fraudulant call was made to our buisness, claiming to be from the GSA and seeking a contractor, but was clearley a scam.
Federal Services is calling from yet another number, which raises suspicions
