FBI issues severe warning for phone scam – here’s how you protect yourself
The FBI has warned that scammers employ a variety of approaches. However, in the end, they “all exploit intimidation tactics” where they use “an urgent and aggressive tone, refusing to speak to or leave a message with anyone other than their targeted victim.” Moreover, they have also been known to warn victims “not to tell anyone else, including family, friends, or financial institutions.”
The US Marshals will “NEVER call you to collect money or resolve a court case,” it read, per Forbes, warning that scammers use “real USMS names” in their attacks. “HANG UP,” they further said, “and REPORT to your local FBI office.”
