The FBI (Internet Crime Complaint) warns: Beware of the FBI

Some scammers reportedly try to impersonate the FBI in order to distribute , but also to make the messages they send more believable.FBI

The federal Internet Crime Complaint (IC3) issued a warning on Wednesday, because it found many complaints from people who received emails y that claim to be from IC3.

Each message states that the recipient owes various amounts of money as compensation for cyber attacks or fraud and asks them to fill out an attached document with their personal .

Yes, you guessed it, this one περιέχει κακόβουλο λογισμικό.

The email claims that a Nigerian man was arrested by the FBI in Atlanta, USA. and that the recipient's email address was found on the scammer's computer. The message requires the recipient to complete an attached document with their contact information and return it to the "service."

"At least three other versions of the same scam used by IC3 have been identified," the FBI warns. "Since July 2017, IC3 has received many complaints about the same fraud."

Currently, two other variants of such electronics are on the market . The first claims to be from the FBI's IC3 office in Houston, Texas and informs the recipient that he owes $10,5 million in restitution for his involvement in a bank fraud.

The third par takes a more threatening tone, stating that the recipient's IP address has been tracked since September 2017 for cybercrimes. So the message requires the recipient to fill out the attached form and return it.

So far, the FBI says no one appears to have been financially affected by the scams. Federalists are reportedly looking for the scammers, and arrests are likely to be expected.
