Abstract generation in progress

On June 8, it was reported that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) recently issued a warning to smartphone users about a nationwide scam activity, where scammers impersonate FBI and other law enforcement personnel to deceive victims into sending money.

Scammers are disguising themselves as FBI phone numbers using "spoofing" technology, falsely claiming that victims will be arrested unless they pay immediately. The FBI has made it clear that the agency will never ask the public to pay money over the phone to avoid criminal charges.

This type of scam has become a global industry, with scammers using intimidation tactics to demand that victims make payments via prepaid cards, wire transfers, cash mailing, or cryptocurrency ATMs. The FBI recommends that if you receive such calls, you should hang up immediately and report it on the IC3.gov website.
