‼️Public Notice: Scam‼️

We have received reports of individuals impersonating federal agents and members of the judiciary in an attempt to defraud members of the public.

These scammers may contact individuals by phone, email, or text message, falsely claiming to be representatives of federal agencies or judges. They often use intimidation tactics, stating that legal action will be taken unless immediate payment through wire transfers, gift cards, or other non-traditional methods.

Please be advised:

Legitimate federal agencies and courts will never request payment or fines through gift cards, wire transfers, cryptocurrency.

Government officials will not threaten immediate arrest or legal action over the phone.

Official correspondence is typically conducted through verified channels and documented in writing.

If you receive a suspicious communication:
✳️Do not provide personal or financial
information.
✳️Hang up and verify the scam by contacting the agency directly using official contact information.
✳️report the incident to your local law enforcement agency or the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) @ reportfraud.ftc.gov

We encourage all community members to remain vigilant and share this information with friends and family to help prevent fraud.

Stay informed. Stay cautious. Stay safe

English Due to the government shutdown, we are unable to offer this website service. We will resume normal operations when the government is funded.
