Person called stating they are with the FBI and they have a package that they intercepted with my name and address on it. And they have looked into it and I have multiple locations for drivers licenses and credit cards and bank accounts. I ended up hanging up then I got a text. I attached a photo.

Received a call from someone by the name of Christopher Ray who identified himself as the director of the FBI. He used two phone numbers to contact me: 412-291-9885 and 937-598-9581. He explained that I had an inheritance check for over $1 million. He requested I send over money to cover the costs of the transfer. He explained to me to go to Rite Aid and purchase a "steam card" to pay them with. I bought the steam card and put $150 on it and sent it over. I then received calls from other individuals with the FBI named Mark James, Bob White and Rosemary Garcia who all had different titles within the FBI. They all said the same thing the original scammer said, and I ultimately sent Mark $100 in the steam card & Rosemary $50. They are continuing to blow up my phone after I caught on to the scam.

Spoofing FBI call . FBI, said my ssn was tied to a car in Texas with drugs and money laundering through cash app, pre-paid cards and bank accounts. They gave me a case number and warrant number. They said they would be in contact with me., They had my social security number. I almost believed them until they told me the only way out was to pay them a “fine” by purchasing gift cards at Walmart.

Someone called two different #said was FBI foul play in are accounts!They will come and arrest you if you don’t!

- Wichita Falls, TX, USA

I got an email from the FBI saying they found money at DFW airport in some boxes and the money was owed to me by the govt of Nigeria.

- Henrietta, TX, USA

I got a voicemail, saying that the FBI was after me and they wanted me to press one to speak with a social security representative.

- Wichita Falls, TX, USA

phone call came in to my cell phone. I didn't recognize the number, so it went to my voice mail. The automated message began before my greeting finished but, what was said was that the FBI and SS were investigating for fraud and if we didn't call the number they would proceed with a law suit, it also said that they had tried to reach me and this was our last chance before they would file a law suit.

- Portland, OR, USA

Called twice and left me messages claiming to be the FBI. Said I committed a federal offense and need to call them at the number that is clearly foreign as it has a + in front. Googled the number and they have been harassing people all day claiming to be the FBI. Someone said they called and man had an Indian accent.

- Seattle, WA, USA

Recorded call from the Social Security department from the FBI telling you to call them back. The scam is that they tell you you are being charged with money laundering/drug trafficking, but don't worry because they are on your side! You need to get a lawyer and appear in court, and they will "call the local sheriff's department" for you, so you get to hear the same thing from another person. Then they tell you that you need to go and withdraw all the money from your bank account right away and wire it to them because "all your assets will be seized tomorrow", and in exchange they will give you a "digital code" so you can access it while the court sorts everything out.

- Meridian, ID, USA

My wife and I both received a robo call from this same phone number 610-844-0438.

The first part of the message was cut-off:

"And once again expired after that you will be taken under custody by the local police as there are four serious allegations pressed on your name at this moment. We would request you to get back to us so that we can discuss about this case before taking any legal action against you. The number to reach us is ***"

Threatened legal action and jail time for debts that don’t exist. I’ve probably received 10 of these calls all from different numbers

- Greenville, SC, USA

Stated she was an FBI agent and I owed money for a loan on line. Have not purchased online loan. Hung up phone on her.

I received the attached email from FBI which was alarming to me as the director named in the scam email was actually in the FBI. I did not click on link but needs to be investigated as some elderly people may think it is real see attached.

There is a phone scam currently operating in Oregon / Washington where they pose as FBI and attempt to get personal information from people. The guy on the phone most recently claimed to be "Mike Johnson" with a heavy what I would approximate as Indian accent. He kept trying to get me to speak louder, like they were recording the conversation. This is probably one where they just need you to say "Yes" or some similar phrase so they can open third party accounts and such. They said that "members of my family were under investigation", and asked if we had been in contact with local authorities. If you don't answer quickly enough or press them for information, they hang up. They have called easily 15 times today alone. The number is tied to a physical address which basically appears to be the parking lot of a financial firm.
