Has a long lost relative reached out for some help? Is USPS texting you about your missing package that you never sent? These are almost certainly imposter scams.
Imposter scams are one of the most common modern scams. The scammer may call, text, or email their target pretending to be someone you can trust.
Government Imposter Scam
Unless contacted first, government agencies almost always communicate via letter. Unexpected contact or demands from a self-reported government agency may be a scam. They may reach out as an IRS agent or claim there is an issue with your social security.
