Why we flagged this
Matched across multiple trusted sources and community reports.
How this scam type works
From our Government Impersonation guide.
- The threatening call. Automated or live — 'This is the IRS. There's a warrant for your arrest.'
- Spoofed caller ID. The number shows as the actual agency so you can't verify by looking it up.
- Demand for immediate payment. Gift cards, wire transfer, Bitcoin ATM — always something untraceable.
- Stay-on-the-line tactic. You're told not to hang up, not to tell anyone, not to leave the building.
