What is this scam? How do I determine if this is a scam?

Community alert robocalls are usually legitimate robocalls. Some municipalities or HOAs use automated dialing systems to call all residents regarding a community alert, a change in scheduling, or other community based issues. Legitimate community alerts just want to inform you of something. They don't want your personal information or any sort of payment. Scammers may use community alerts, too. Phony or scam alerts will request personal information or payment details -- or they may want you to press a number to confirm receipt of the announcement. Be wary of any community alert that prompts you to take a specific action -- even if it's as simple as pressing "one" on the keypad.
