Another piece that comes from the newsletter comes to us courtacy of the FBI.
As discussed when we spotted similar articles, Malwarebytes says that these scammers will ask for more info like banking details and they may ask for your social security number or other identifying information.
They will not be sending from the FBI but some other type of domain.
Look for suspicious email addresses, urgent language such as the fact it needs to be done right away or something will happen, requests for personal info, unsolicited attachments or links and do report it to the real IC3 web site linked within.
FBI issues warning as scammers target victims of crime is the article for the last article in the newsletter and its of value.
I hope that this can teach people what’s going on, and we’ll be in touch!
