Law Enforcement Imposter Calls - Stay Alert

🚔⚠️ LAW ENFORCEMENT IMPOSTOR CALLS — STAY ALERT

Scammers are calling and posing as the U.S. Marshals Office, claiming your identity was used in a money laundering case. They sound calm and official, say they’re “helping,” and instruct victims to withdraw large amounts of cash and keep it at home. This is NOT how real law enforcement works.

💸 COMMON TACTICS:

  • Claims you’re tied to a federal investigation.

  • Urges you to withdraw money to “protect” it.

  • Avoids asking for personal info to build trust.

  • Uses official titles, case numbers, or threats.

  • Offers to come to your home.

🚨 WARNING SIGNS:

  • Pressure to act immediately.

  • Instructions to withdraw or hold cash.

  • Requests to keep the call secret.

  • Threats of arrest or legal action.

🛡️ PROTECT YOURSELF:

  • Law enforcement will never ask you to move or hold money.

  • Hang up and call your local police department directly.

  • Contact your bank immediately if money is involved.
