Phone Scams

Phone scams refer to fraudulent schemes conducted via telephone. These scams typically involve con artists impersonating legitimate entities, such as government agencies, banks, or other organizations, to deceive individuals into sharing personal information, financial details, or making payments. Common tactics include unsolicited calls,robocalls, and deceptive calls that manipulate caller ID to appear as though they are coming from a trusted source. Victims of phone scams may be tricked into providing their social security numbers, bank account information, or credit card details, often leading to identity theft or financial loss. Phone scams are prevalent across various demographics and can range from simple scams, like lottery wins, to more complex schemes involving fake tech support or phishing attempts. Overall, the goal of these scams is to exploit the target's trust and lack of awareness to gain illicit access to their assets or personal information.
