PANews June 8 news, according to Forbes, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) recently issued a warning to remind smartphone users to be vigilant against a nationwide fraud activity, where scammers impersonate FBI and other law enforcement agencies to trick victims into sending money. Scammers use "spoofed caller ID" technology to disguise themselves as FBI phone numbers, falsely claiming that victims will be arrested unless they pay money immediately. The FBI has made it clear that the bureau will never ask people to pay money over the phone to evade criminal charges.
