The scam typically begins with a phone call, as someone claiming to be from a government agency or law enforcement department. They may inform you of alleged fraudulent activities or criminal behavior associated with one of your accounts. To further convince you of the urgency of the situation, they create a sense of imminent danger and pressure you to act quickly.
If you are not doing something wrong then there is nothing for you to be afraid of. But these calls are exhausting when you're on that call and they try to explain their scheme.
As long as you can remember that you have done nothing. First things first with these government matters is that they're going to send you a letter or someone will step on your doors knocking informing you this kind of matters.
It's not limited to government calls that are being done by these scammers but even something simple that they'll try to scare you out so that you'll pay their scam. Don't be too scared with them and always have a presence of mind.
Some people are too vulnerable and believe in these
kinds of things. They panic and they don’t think properly.
Check the details of the caller/sender. Ask if they are
affiliated with any particular organization or government agency.
Do not act impulsively and keep a clear mind.
