FBI Issues Scam Warning

(Boston, MA) -- The FBI in Boston is warning the public about an increase in scams featuring impersonators of a government agency representative. This warning is going out to residents of Rhode Island, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Maine. In the Ocean State, about fifty victims were reportedly scammed out of nearly half-a-million dollars in 2020. The FBI says federal agencies do not call or email individuals threatening arrest or demanding money.
