How to report Scam calls

Thursday, December 10th, 2020

Having a phone number leaves you open to scam calls. To report these calls you can go to the following website and let them know about the call.

https://reportfraud.ftc.gov/#/

On this site you can report if the caller asked for money, gave a name and when they called. Not sure what the full end result of calls can be but I feel it is my drop in the bucket to help combat these calls.

Some scams that I have received:

  • Social Security Number has been suspend
    • The government would not call to suspend your SSN.
    • You should never give your personal information to a random call
  • Police association requesting money
  • You’ve won a prize but have to pay to collect
  • Large sum of money but you need to pay some fees to receive it
