Question: FInancial dept of the federal government scam?

I just received a phone call from a company claiming to be from the Financial Dept of the US Federal Government. The number on my cell phone just came up as 1120 on caller id. They were trying to tell me I was receiving a $500 tax credit that they wanted to deposit directly into my account along with a medical card. When I asked for a phone number to call them back to verify the information they gave me the number of 559-709-3564 which seems to be a cellular phone. How do I go about reporting this and finding out who actually called?

Answer: I’d start with the Federal Communications Commission, since it was done over the phone. It would probably fall under the heading of wire (excuse the term!) fraud.

And excuse me for stating the obvious: Keep that cell phone number as evidence. Given the apparent stupidity of the caller, It may well be where they called you from..

Phone solicitations a scam, police say

There are good ways to honor two Winston-Salem police officers killed in the line of duty in the past two years, but don’t give money over the telephone.
