U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) warns citizens about phone scammers impersonating CBP agents, demanding money or personal information. These scammers often spoof legitimate CBP numbers and use real officials' names to appear credible. CBP stresses they do not make unsolicited calls demanding payments or sensitive data. Victims are advised to hang up and report such calls to the Federal Trade Commission, and to verify communications through official channels.
