FBI warns against scam calls impersonating law enforcement agencies

Odaily News The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) recently issued a warning to smartphone users to be vigilant about a nationwide scam in which scammers impersonate FBI and other law enforcement agencies to trick victims into sending money. It is reported that scammers use "spoofed caller ID" technology to disguise themselves as FBI phone numbers and lie that victims will be arrested unless they pay money immediately. The FBI has made it clear that the agency will never ask people to pay money over the phone to evade criminal charges. (Forbes)
