They claim to be from bigger organizations
Scammers claim to be someone else when they try to steal your money, so they will call and threaten you with the police, but you have to make sure that you know how real organizations react when you don’t pay your debts. For instance, the IRS will contact you via mail when they want to talk to you.
“The only way the IRS will get in touch with you is in the mail, on official letterhead,” says cybersecurity expert John Sileo.
They can make you give them your personal information in order to steal your identity, money, or other important series, such as Social Security number and different PIN codes. Unfortunately, many people believe when scammers claim to be from the IRS and other banks or bigger organizations.
