FBI Charlotte Warns Of Scammers Spoofing FBI Phone Numbers
The FBI Charlotte Field Office is warning the public of a recent phone scam that spoofs, or fraudulently displays, the FBIβs real telephone number on the victimβs caller ID. The scammer impersonates a government official and uses intimidation tactics, such as the threat of arrest, to demand payment of money purportedly owed to the government. These claims are false.
