Don't become a victim to scams. Federal, State, and Local agencies will never contact you to threaten you with arrest unless you provide them with personal information, money or gift cards.
Here are the Top 5 scam numbers to block
(865) 630-4266 – This number from Knoxville, TN, pretends to be from Wells Fargo, claiming your debit card is locked due to fraud. If you receive this call, don’t respond. Instead, contact Wells Fargo directly using the customer service number on your card.
(469) 709-7630 – Residents of large apartment complexes or office buildings might get a text claiming a failed package delivery. This Dallas number tries to convince you to call back, but it’s best to double-check if you were expecting anything before responding.
(805) 637-7243 – Linked to a Publishers Clearing House scam, this California number tells you that you’ve won a sweepstakes or have a credit card fraud alert. Don’t be fooled! If you didn’t enter the sweepstakes, it’s likely a scam
(858) 605-9622 – Scammers pretending to be from major banks like Chase or Wells Fargo use this San Diego number to claim your account has been compromised. Don’t call back unless you’re sure it’s a real issue.
(863) 532-7969 – This Florida number is targeting people with debit cards, claiming their account has been frozen. Again, this is a scam, and you should not respond to it.
