(KLZA)-- The United States Attorney- Office for the District of Nebraska is alerting the public to be aware of imposter scams involving individuals claiming to represent the United States Attorney- Office or other government agencies.
Scammers may call, email, text, write, or message members of the public on social media claiming to be from the United States Attorney- Office or another government office.
While legitimate employees of the United States Attorney- Office do contact the public for business purposes, they will never pressure, threaten, or inform you to make payments in questionable ways.
Scammers may use tactics to sound and appear credible. Often, they will provide information or actual names of federal employees and federal office addresses. Scammers also commonly rely on “phone spoofing”, this is where a caller falsifies the information displayed on a caller ID to make their identity or location unknown. Phone spoofing can make calls appear to be from a local number or trusted organization.
If you are the victim of such a call, please report the incident via https://www.ic3.gov/ or https://tips.fbi.gov/home.
