The FBI is warning the public about scammers impersonating its Internet Crime Complaint Center, the agency's portal for reporting online crime. Fraudsters posing as IC3 officials contact people, often claiming a report was filed or that money is owed, to steal personal information or payments. Authorities urge the public to verify any such contact and report genuine cybercrime directly through official channels.
Why now: A fresh FBI consumer warning about an impersonation scam is prompting news outlets to alert viewers on how to protect themselves.
