Scammers pretending to be from the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) have been reported more than 100 times between December 2023 and February 2025, according to an April 18 public service announcement.
As the FBI's notice describes, scammers may contact fraud victims by phone, email, social media, or forum posts posing as IC3 employees. They offer to help targets recover their lost money—or claim they've already recovered it—and ask for payment or personal information, at which point victims lose money and/or data to yet another bad actor.
How to protect yourself from the IC3 scam
If you've been a victim of fraud or identity theft, you are a potential target for the IC3 scam, and you should stay vigilant and skeptical of anyone offering to help you get your money back. IC3 employees will never contact you via phone, email, social media, apps, or forums, and they will never ask for payment (or refer you to anyone who requires payment) to recover your money.
You can report fraud to the actual, legitimate IC3 at www.ic3.gov.
