联邦贸易委员会提醒：有人冒充FTC打电话称要停用你的手机号，全是骗局
美国联邦贸易委员会（FTC）10月22日发布消费者警示：近来有人冒充FTC工作人员打电话，声称受害者名下有一部在国外注册的手机正被用来行骗，不配合就要停用受害者的手机号。FTC一句话点破：「这些都不是真的，全是骗局。」
据FTC拆解，骗局分几步走：冒充者先报出一个假的工牌编号取信于人，再把电话「转接」给一名假警察「报案」；如果受害者起疑，对方还会教他上网搜警察局电话自己打过去，而接电话的仍是同伙。假警察随后索要身份证件和个人信息，并要求受害者对此事保密。最后一步是升级恐吓：对方声称受害者已被「逮捕」，除非缴纳一笔「保证金」，否则要被送往国外。
FTC强调，真正的工作人员永远不会做四件事：不会要求你汇款，也不会把你转接给任何索要钱财的人；不会威胁停用你的电话；不会要求你对谈话保密；更不会用短信发一张工牌照片来「证明身份」。工牌编号和证件照片都可以伪造，不能作为可信依据。
接到这类电话应直接挂断，并到FTC诈骗举报网站ReportFraud.ftc.gov举报；如果已经把身份证件信息给了对方，应尽快到IdentityTheft.gov登记并采取冻结信用等保护措施。据FTC统计，2025年民众报告被政府冒充者骗走的金额约达9.2亿美元。FTC在10月29日的另一份通报中说，过去一年已有19个假冒FTC的网站被域名注册商下线，自2024年以来依据《冒充规则》提起的14起执法行动已为消费者追回超过8,000万美元。
FTC Warns: Scammers Posing as FTC Staff Threaten to Deactivate Your Phone Number
The Federal Trade Commission issued a consumer alert on October 22 warning that scammers are calling people while posing as FTC officials, claiming that a phone registered in the victim's name in another country is being used to commit scams, and threatening to deactivate the victim's own phone number unless they cooperate. The agency's verdict is blunt: none of this is true, and it is all a scam.
According to the FTC, the scheme unfolds in stages. The impostor first reads out a fake badge number as proof of identity, then "transfers" the victim to a fake police officer to file a report. If the victim hesitates, the scammers may tell them to look up the police department's number online and call it themselves, but the people who answer are part of the same scheme. The fake officer then asks for identification and personal information for the supposed report and insists the matter be kept secret. Finally, the victim is told they are under arrest for the scams tied to their number and must travel to another country, unless they send money for a "security deposit."
The FTC says a real employee will never do four things: ask you to send money or connect you with someone who demands it, threaten to disconnect your phone, tell you to keep the conversation secret, or text you a photo of an employee ID. A badge number or an ID photo proves nothing, because both can be fabricated.
Anyone who gets such a call should hang up and report it at ReportFraud.ftc.gov; anyone who already shared identification should go to IdentityTheft.gov for a recovery plan and consider a credit freeze. The FTC says people reported losing about $920 million to government imposters in 2025. In a separate release on October 29, the agency said registrars had taken down 19 fake FTC websites over the past year, and that 14 enforcement actions under its Impersonation Rule since 2024 had produced more than $80 million in consumer redress.
