Government Imposter Scams are on the Rise

With the rise of AI and technology, various types of fraud have become increasingly sophisticated, including government imposter scams. Fraudsters attempt to impersonate government agencies using spoofing, faked credentials and manipulative tactics to put pressure on potential victims. According to the Federal Trade Commission, Americans filed 332,796 reports regarding government imposter scams between January and September 2025, totaling $739 million in losses, underscoring the magnitude of this threat.
