You are in your dorm room when you receive a call from a blocked number. The caller speaks urgently and says you are late on paying a bill and now owe his company $5,000. He provides an address where you are urged to send a check and warns that if you do not do this in 24 hours, the amount that you owe will double. What do you do

Respuesta :

If you are in a situation where a blocked number calls and says you are late on a bill payment and that you should pay to avoid it doubling, you should call the Federal Trade Commission.

Which department handles email scams?

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) handles cases related to check and other scams and so you should call them if such a call is made to you.

Be aware that there is no bill payment that will double in 24 hours and that the usage of a blocked number is not allowed to debt collectors. So this is a scam and you should lodge a complaint with the FTC.
