FBI Denver warns of scammers spoofing FBI phone numbers?
Star Herald Denver, CO
DENVER—The Scotts Bluff County Sheriff’s Office has shared a scam alert from the FBI Denver Division.
The FBI Denver Division is warning the public of a recent phone scam that spoofs, or fraudulently displays, the FBI’s real telephone number on the victim’s caller ID. The scammer impersonates a government official and uses intimidation tactics, such as the threat of arrest, to demand payment of money purportedly owed to the government. These claims are false and the calls are not from the FBI.
The FBI Denver Division has seen its main number, 303-629-7171, spoofed in this manner recently, as well as the numbers of its Resident Agencies, or satellite offices, throughout Colorado and Wyoming. Citizens nationwide have been targeted.
