Trusted Sources, Such as the Federal Government, Are Scamming Americans

Frank Costa, President, Nexgen Protection Services, on how scammers impersonate trusted agencies:

Scamming is on the rise. Scammers are impersonating trusted government agencies to steal people’s personal information and money. Many Americans are being tricked into granting access to their financial information by fraudsters posing as reputable organizations such as the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), Amazon, and the United States Postal Service (USPS).

These scamming tactics send texts, phone messages, and emails with alarming phrases like “Your account has been locked” or “Due to unusual activity.” These scare tactics exploit victims’ judgment in moments of fear and panic, coercing them into revealing personally identifiable information and granting access to their financial accounts.
