[quote=Anonymous]In the past, my friends have always given me a heads up.  In each case (four times), I was told they try not to do the interviews over the phone.  I had one come to my home, two come to my office and one I met at a local Starbucks (I worked someplace where it was hard for the person to get to my office due to security).

However, in general, if you are ever uncertain about the authenticity of interactions with authority, you should always request confirmation.  In this situation, as has been pointed out, you can ask what agency they work for, they name and/or identification number and contact the agency in question to get confirmation.

In a similar situation, if you are pulled over by a police officer and are concerned about the authenticity of the officer (especially if it is on a dark night or you are in an isolated position), you can always request that the officer request backup to confirm the authenticity of the officer for the stop.  Also, you only need to roll down your window enough to speak through and to be able to pass your identification/registration through if necessary.  You do not need to open your window all the way or open your door.  Especially if you are a woman and especially at night.  There have been incidents of criminals impersonating officers in order to gain access to victims.[/quote]
