ALERT! Federal Law Enforcement Agencies Warn of Impersonation Scam Involving Credentials and Badges
Date:
Dear Colleague,
We want to share a press release from our Office of the Inspector General to alert you and your clients that scammers are reviving an old tactic to gain trust. Scammers are emailing and texting pictures of real and doctored law enforcement credentials and badges to prove they are legitimate and scam people out of money. Please read the press release for more information on how the scam works and scam prevention tips.
Please share this information with your members, colleagues, affiliates, and other interested parties.
Sincerely,
Dawn Bystry
Deputy Associate Commissioner
