I just receiged a call from someone who said she is calling from GSA. I hanged up and I research the GSA Scam on the Internet. Here is the result...
The GSA scam is a type of fraudulent scheme that involves criminals posing as representatives of the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) and offering to register companies for government contracts for a fee. The GSA is a government agency that provides services and support to federal agencies and manages federal property.
In the GSA scam, the fraudsters typically target small businesses that are interested in obtaining government contracts. They reach out to these businesses via phone or email, claiming to be GSA representatives or third-party organizations authorized to register businesses for government contracts. They offer to register the businesses for government contracts for a fee, and may even provide false information about the availability of contracts or the likelihood of success.
Once the businesses pay the fee, the fraudsters may provide them with false or incomplete information, or fail to deliver on their promises altogether. In some cases, the fraudsters may also steal the business's identity or financial information, further compounding the damage.
It is important to note that the GSA does not charge businesses a fee to register for government contracts. Any communication claiming to be from the GSA that requests payment for contract registration is likely a scam and should be reported to the authorities.
