Opinión del experto

You’d be shocked to hear how often this number pretends to be a federal agency offering a bogus grant. The pattern is clear: callers claim you’re eligible for thousands of dollars because you paid taxes on time, then push you to buy a prepaid card or give personal info. Hang up immediately and block the number. Report the calls to the FTC and your state consumer protection office, and consider filing a report with the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center. Never send money or card details to anyone who contacts you out of the blue, especially if they claim to be from the government or IRS. Stay skeptical and protect your personal data.

This is a clear scam; my family and I received the same call, instructing us to purchase a Green Dot card as a 'security deposit' in exchange for $5,000. After reporting this to the police in both California and Illinois, we were advised to file a report online, as there's little that can be done aside from spreading awareness and cautioning against such calls from individuals with limited English proficiency. Our holiday season was certainly marred by this experience.
