RoboCall Scam

We are being hit with a robo call scam. Financial Services, Accounts Payable and Audit department main line have been 
getting repeated robo-calls within the past hour from a number labeled as “Consulate General” with a number of 
213-807-8078<tel:213-807-8078>.  The recorded voice is in Chinese.  A translation conducted appears to be a financial 
scam similar to the typical IRS type asking for funds.
We are blocking and sinkholing and the number appears one or two digits off from other similar reports to municipal 
agencies but I wanted to give you all a heads up. Happy CyberSecurity Awareness month!
