These callers claim to be federal agents or debt collectors, but the pattern shows a classic scam—pressuring you for money or personal info with threats of arrest. The best move is to hang up, block the number, and never share details. Report the call to the FTC and your local law‑enforcement agency, and consider placing a fraud alert on your credit files. If you’re unsure, verify any alleged agency by calling the official number listed on their website, not the one they provide. Stay calm, keep records of the call, and share the number with consumer‑protection groups to help stop these fraudsters.
