The U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is warning of scammers actively posing as FBI representatives and threatening targets with fines and jail time unless they don’t hand out personal and/or financial info. The agency has received multiple reports of such scam attempts where the fraudsters are targeting North Florida residents. The FBI advises reaching out to the local field office to verify the identity of anyone claiming to be part of an investigation as a representative of the FBI. Recently, the US intelligence and security agency has also warned of vishing attacks targeting corporate accounts and vaccine-related fraud schemes.
