7 Must-Know Phone Scams in North America - Don't Become the Next Victim!

Phone scams are surging across North America, with overseas Chinese and international students being prime targets for criminals employing increasingly sophisticated tactics. As a well-known brand among Chinese communities and the largest Chinese telecommunications company globally, iTalkBB has also become a target for scammers who spoof our phone numbers and impersonate our staff to steal personal information.

iTalkBB isn't the first brand targeted. Scammers can spoof any official number - from delivery services to banks, tax offices, police stations, and even consulates. Today we expose 7 common scam tactics to help protect you and your family.

Scam #1: Spoofing Phone NumbersScammers use software to mimic official numbers, impersonating staff with legal jargon, fake case numbers, and urgent threats. For example, they may claim to be iTalkBB informing you that "a phone registered under your name is involved in fraud" with a "court summons."

Scam #2: Fake Payment/Billing IssuesImpersonating客服 with fake employee IDs, they claim payment failures or account mismatches to extract financial information. Remember: iTalkBB will NEVER ask for your SSN or sensitive data. Always call back using official numbers (1-877-482-5522 for iTalkBB).

Scam #3: Fake Immigration/Consulate CallsTargeting students and workers, they first request information, then follow up with false criminal accusations demanding payments. Remember: visa issues rarely occur suddenly, and authorities don't "notify in advance" by phone.

Scam #4: Fake Delivery NoticesSpoofing USPS/UPS/FedEx, they claim package issues requiring information. Never click links in suspicious texts - contact carriers directly.

Scam #5: Fake Customs/Tax AuthoritiesTargeting users with false smuggling accusations. Have confidence - real authorities don't operate this way.

Scam #6: IRS ImpersonationPeaking during tax season with various "tax issues." Remember: the IRS only contacts via mail or in-person visits after mailed notices.

Scam #7: Family Emergency ScamsThe classic "your child is in trouble" scam preys on parents' concern. Always verify through consulates, schools, or friends before acting.At iTalkBB, we're committed to your security - just like our flagship AIjia Home Security System with 120° wide-angle, 1080P night vision, E911 emergency button, and 30-day cloud storage for complete home protection.
