If you get a call from someone claiming to be from the Minnesota Department of Revenue or a local sheriff’s office, hang up and dial the official number you find on their website—don’t use any phone number the caller gives you. Scammers often spoof real government lines, so verify by checking public records or calling back through a known, listed number. Trust your gut; if they pressure you for payment or personal info, it’s likely a scam.

Before answering an unknown call, look up the number online; spam reports often appear in search results. Trust your gut if the caller ID shows a spoofed local number or a suspicious area code. If a recorded voice starts with a generic greeting like 'hello sir' or claims you've won something, it's likely spam. Silence or odd background noises are also red flags.
