SOMEONE IS USING PHOTOS OF FAKE F-B-I CREDENTIALS IN AN ATTEMPT TO SCAM PEOPLE. FRANK FISHER WITH THE F-B-I IN ALBUQUERQUE SAYS A WOMAN REPORTED GETTING A FACEBOOK MESSAGE TELLING HER SHE HAD WON 800-THOUSAND DOLLARS AND NEEDED TO SEND MONEY TO COVER THE TAXES. SHE THEN GOT A TEXT CONTAINING THE FAKE I-D, SAYING SHE’D BE ARRESTED IF SHE DIDN’T COMPLY. FISHER SAYS THE SCHEME ALMOST WORKED, UNTIL SHE GOT SUSPICIOUS AND CONTACTED LAW ENFORCEMENT.
FISHER SAYS THE F-B-I AND LAW ENFORCEMENT IN GENERAL, WILL NEVER CONTACT ANYONE BY TEXT OR BY FACEBOOK.
