The FBI is warning about scammers impersonating federal agents, spoofing real FBI field-office numbers and using the names of actual FBI, DEA and Secret Service personnel.
In one case, a scammer staged an entire fake FBI office for a video call, complete with a desk, FBI seal and a suited “agent,” to convince victims they were speaking with law enforcement.
The FBI says legitimate agents will never demand payment or sensitive information through these types of calls.
