Scam Warning: “We’re Deactivating Your Phone”
Posted 11/9/2026
Someone calls claiming to work for the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). They say your phone number is connected to criminal activity and threaten to deactivate it unless you cooperate. They may even give you a fake badge number.
This is a scam. The FTC is not calling to threaten to deactivate your phone number.
Hang up. Do not share personal information, verification codes, or payment details. If you are concerned about your phone service, contact your provider using the number on your bill or its official app.
Report the scam at ReportFraud.ftc.gov.

Beware of Fake FBI and Police Calls
Posted 11/9/2026
Scammers are pretending to be FBI agents and other law enforcement officers to steal money. They may use real agents’ names, fake caller IDs, and video backgrounds that look like government offices.
Watch for threats of arrest, demands for immediate payment, or instructions to keep the conversation secret.
Never send money, gift cards, or cryptocurrency because of an unexpected call. Hang up and look up the agency’s official phone number yourself. Tell the agency you want to verify a suspicious contact.
If you already sent money, contact your bank immediately and report the incident at IC3.gov.
