The FBI has issued a new scam alert to warn Americans that fraudsters have stooped to a new low even for them. They're now impersonating members of the agency’s own Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) to target victims of online financial fraud to revictimize them and steal their financial information all over again.
As reported by Cybernews, over 100 FBI reports were issued between December 2023 and February 2025, with the individuals often being involved with online forums or groups on social networking sites that are focused on helping those who have been victimized by online financial fraud.
