Common Robocall Categories
Auto warranty robocalls have remained one of the most consistently reported categories to the FTC for several years running. Tech support scams led to $159 million in reported losses among older consumers in 2024 alone. Government imposter scams rely on manufactured urgency and threats, tactics not used by legitimate agencies.
Operational Modus
Scammers often exploit concerns such as vehicle maintenance or computer security. Government imposter calls utilize threats of immediate consequences, aiming to induce panic. Furthermore, package delivery and 'order not shipped' scams reliably spike around major shopping holidays.
