FBI El Paso Warns of Increase in Phone Calls That Spoof FBI Phone Number
FBI El Paso at its Midland and Alpine RAs have seen a recent increase in phone calls that spoof the Bureau’s phone number as part of a Social Security scam. The callers will often “spoof,” or fake, the local FBI’s phone number, so the call appears to be coming from the FBI on the recipient’s caller ID.
Anyone who feels they were the victim of this or any other online scam should report the incident immediately at ic3.gov.
