Online Threat Alerts (OTA) - Alerting you to scams and frauds.
Scamming - Fraud
Do not call 202-241-2115 because it is being used by online scammers. The scammers send out fake text or email messages like the one below instructing their potential victims to call the same number and then pretend to be representatives from a debt collecting agency. If the recipients call the number, the scammers will ask them to make payment to stop a fake lawsuit against them. Therefore, recipients of fake emails with instructions to call 202-241-2115 are asked not to do so.
