Federal Trade Commission - Consumer Information - Phone Scams

Every year, thousands of people lose money to telephone scams — from a few dollars to their life savings. Scammers will say anything to cheat people out of money. Some seem very friendly — calling you by your first name, making small talk, and asking about your family. They may claim to work for a company you trust, or they may send mail or place ads to convince you to call them.
If you get a call from someone you don’t know who is trying to sell you something you hadn’t planned to buy, say "No thanks." And, if they pressure you about giving up personal information — like your credit card or Social Security number — it’s likely a scam. Hang up and report it to the Federal Trade Commission.

By Mail:      Federal Communications Commission
                  Consumer and Governmental Affairs Bureau
                  Consumer Inquiries and Complaints Division
                  45 L Street NE
                  Washington, DC 20554
