Spammers use the power of the FBI and pity for the soldiers for their own purposes
The Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3), an FBI investigation unit dealing with Internet crime investigations, warns of fraudulent emails allegedly received from the FBI and the US military.
“IC3 is getting more and more information about fraudulent frauds that the FBI and its head, Robert S. Mueller III, misrepresent. Fraudulent letters for naturalness use images of the FBI director, stamp, cap and headers of the letterhead, ”said the department on Tuesday.
Other scammers use the FBI name to "frighten and convince the recipient that the letter is real." The criminals also used the name of the agency in extortion letters and scams with online auctions.
In addition, it was announced that scammers also send letters on behalf of American soldiers stationed abroad. Fraudulent letters are written differently, but their main idea is always the same: to find out personal information or to receive money from the recipient.
