Spoofing
Spoofing happens when a caller falsifies caller ID information to disguise their true identity. They typically use an official looking phone number making them appear to be from an official agency. They trick the public into giving up personal information and money. Be aware of these scams and never give personal information to unsolicited phone calls nor emails. Report scams to the IRS and FCC.
