Texas joins 49-state task force targeting robocalls and scammers
"We will take this fight to all who assist or enable these scam calls," Paxton said."If the telecom industry refuses to create and comply with reasonable regulations, then our Task Force will demand compliance."Paxton warned Texans to be wary of callers who specifically ask for payment via gift card, wire transfer or cryptocurrency. For example, the Internal Revenue Service does not accept iTunes gift cards.
You must also look out for prerecorded calls from people posing as government agencies. Typically, the Social Security Administration does not make phone calls to individuals. If you suspect any fraudulent activity, do not provide any personal information and immediately hang up.
