Imagine getting a missed call from a number that flashes "U.S. Gov't" on your caller ID, yet no voicemail follows. That’s a classic sign of a spoofed outbound line used by federal agencies to hide their real numbers. Because these calls are non‑functional, you can’t call back, and legitimate agencies would normally leave a message if the contact mattered. Treat any such ring with caution: don’t share personal data, verify the claim through official channels, and block the number if it recurs. If the call alleges legal trouble or demands payment, it’s almost certainly a scam.
