🚨 SCAM ALERT: Scammers Are Impersonating the FBI

The FBI Boston Division is warning New England residents about a new scam in which criminals are spoofing the FBI’s real phone number to make their calls appear legitimate.

Here’s how the scam works:
📞 You receive a call from someone claiming to represent a financial institution. They tell you that your personal information was used to open an account that was then used to purchase illegal fi****ms.
🚔 You’re transferred to someone claiming to be an FBI agent, who may provide a fake name and badge number.
📱 You may then receive another call that appears to come from FBI Boston’s actual phone number and be instructed to continue communicating through an encrypted messaging app.
🔒 The scammer may also tell you that the situation is confidential and that you should not discuss it with anyone.

Don't fall for it. The FBI will never call or email you to demand payment, threaten arrest, request sensitive personal information, or ask you to communicate through an encrypted app.

When sorting through paperwork, watch for documents that reveal pieces of your identity, like your name and address, an old bill paired with an insurance ID, or a pay stub with your signature, because together they can be enough for fraud.

On their own, these may not seem risky. Together, they can give scammers enough information to impersonate you or access accounts.
