The FBI reiterates its warning to the public regarding ongoing widespread fraud schemes in which scammers impersonate US and foreign law enforcement or government officials to extort money or personally identifiable information (PII) from victims.

Scammers primarily contact victims through unsolicited phone calls; however, other methods, including text messages and emails, are also used. Scammers often spoof authentic phone numbers, email addresses, employee names, and credentials of well-known government and law enforcement agencies, including IC3.

Tips to Protect Yourself
*Law enforcement and government authorities will never contact members of the public by telephone or text message to demand any form of payment or to request personal or sensitive information.

*Law enforcement and government officials will never request payment via prepaid cards, cryptocurrency, or courier.

*Never give your personal information to anyone without verifying the person is who they say they are. Ask for credentials and use official, publicly available information to contact the government or law enforcement agency to verify the caller and their credentials; do not use contact information provided by the person contacting you.

*If you are sent any webpage URLs, do not click without reviewing them to ensure they match the official domain of the law enforcement or government agency. Remember, scammers may use URLs closely mirroring official ones, but with slight variations or incorrect domain extensions (.com instead of .gov).

If you or someone you know has fallen victim to these impersonation scams, immediately cease all contact with the scammers and notify your financial institutions to safeguard your financial accounts. Contact your local law enforcement agency and file a report. Also file a complaint with the IC3 at https://t.co/bOWQo9qcbf.
