Scammers are impersonating employees of the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) to trick fraud victims into providing personal information under the pretense of helping them recover lost funds. The FBI has reported over 100 instances of this tactic over the past two years, warning individuals to be cautious and not share sensitive information with unknown contacts online. They emphasize that IC3 employees do not reach out directly to victims or ask for payment for recovery services.
