9. Scam, scam, scam, scam (sung to tune of monty python spam song) its just pure chance you

happened to get this. If 30%+ people are claiming unemployment, thats a lot of people - out of those Ill bet a good no. would not think to be suspicious of the call.

Clues: "hold for representative" = robo call. this is automated dialing and then if someone picks up you'll hear a lag before someone starts talking... or recording like you got.

You cant call back because she's working at home - really? That's VERY unprofessional. Even if she was she's still a state employee doing state business and ahoulD HAve been issued the equipment she needed to do her job. For future reference you could have asked her to send her request by mail, using the address that she SHOULD have.... that generally is how govt agencies do business anyway - send you the letter so there is an official record. The very fact she called and didnt send a letter saying there was info missing on your application is a red flag.

Email said you were approved - does that look legit? Find the contact info that you know to be correct and say you received this email saying you were approved then you got this strange call.
