flag Government scam calls rising, urging fake payments via gift cards or crypto—real agencies never do this.

flag Government impostor scams are rising, with fraudsters posing as official agencies to demand urgent payments via gift cards, crypto, or peer-to-peer transfers—methods real agencies never use. flag Scammers often use fake credentials, urgent threats, and international call lines to deceive victims, especially those over 60, who lose an average of $960. flag The BBB and FTC warn that legitimate agencies never threaten arrest over the phone or demand immediate payment. flag To stay safe, verify callers independently, avoid sharing personal data, check for official .gov or .mil email domains, and report scams via FTC’s ReportFraud site or BBB’s ScamTracker. flag Monitor accounts and consider fraud alerts if compromised. flag More info at bbb.org.
