On this episode of the Inside the FBI Podcast, we’ll discuss a new breed of government-impersonation scam in which bad actors role-play as special agents or their associates to scam people out of their money and personally identifiable information. We’ll explain how the scheme works, identify red flags you can watch out for, and explain how you can report special agent impersonators to the Bureau if they attempt to target you or a loved one. For a full transcript and additional resources, visit https://www.fbi.gov/podcasts.
If you or a loved one believe you may have been victimized by this scam—or if you suspect that you’ve already been in talks with one of the fraudsters behind it—you should contact the FBI immediately by phone at 1-800-CALL-FBI (1-800-225-5324) or online at https://tips.fbi.gov.
You can also visit https://www.fbi.gov/scams to learn more about common frauds and scams, including the hallmarks of these schemes and how to report them to the proper authorities, including—but not limited to—the FBI.
