Scammers exploit federal shutdown to fake Social Security and Medicare calls; agencies won’t demand payment remotely.
North Carolina and Michigan attorneys general warn residents to beware of scams exploiting the federal shutdown, as fraudsters impersonate agencies like Social Security and Medicare.
Scammers may call, text, or email demanding personal info or payments via gift cards, crypto, or apps—methods real agencies never use.
Officials stress that benefits continue, notifications come by mail, and no legitimate agency will threaten arrest or demand money remotely.
With some federal resources offline, North Carolinians should report scams to the state’s Consumer Protection Division.
