A government impersonator scam often starts with a call, email, or text message from someone who says they’re with a government agency. They might give you their “employee ID number” to sound official. And they might have information about you, like your name or home address. If you receive such calls or messages, it’s best to hang up or delete them immediately. You can also report them to the relevant authorities.
