FBI has this ‘scam’ warning for all iPhone and Android users: Details and how to tackle fraud

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has issued an alert, advising all smartphone users in the US to be wary of scams designed to coerce them into sending money. These attacks, which often involve impersonating government agents, are a growing concern for law enforcement, it said.

“Scammers are spoofing FBI phone numbers nationwide, impersonating government agents. Victims are tricked into thinking an arrest is imminent unless they send money,” the bureau stated (via Forbes).
