联邦调查局檀香山分局警告：冒充执法人员诈骗升级
联邦调查局檀香山分局11月2日向夏威夷居民发出警告，提醒公众警惕一种不断升级的冒充执法人员诈骗。檀香山位于夏威夷州檀香山县。骗子冒充联邦调查局、缉毒局和特勤局等联邦执法机构人员，以窃取受害者钱财。联邦调查局表示，夏威夷近期接到的举报显示，骗子的手法越来越精细，让人难以分辨来电或信息的真假。
骗子会通过技术手段伪造联邦执法机构外勤办公室的官方电话号码，包括檀香山分局的号码，并在通话中使用真实或虚构的探员姓名取信于人。在近期一起举报中，骗子甚至在视频会议平台上露面，背景布置得像联邦办公室模样，并配有身着正装的人员，营造出官方办案的假象。联邦调查局强调，真正的执法人员绝不会通过电话或视频要求民众转账、购买礼品卡或提供银行账户信息来「配合调查」或「避免被捕」。
联邦调查局建议居民接到可疑来电时立即挂断，不要回拨对方提供的号码，也不要点击对方发来的链接；如需核实，可自行查找官方联系方式主动联系相关机构。已经遭受损失或接到可疑信息的居民，可向联邦调查局网络犯罪投诉中心报案。分局表示，冒充政府官员的诈骗在全美屡见不鲜，夏威夷居民尤其要提醒家中长辈和新移民亲友，提高对这类电话和视频骗局的警惕。
FBI Honolulu Warns of Escalating Law Enforcement Impersonation Scams
The FBI's Honolulu field office warned Hawaii residents on November 2 about an escalating scam in which criminals impersonate law enforcement officers. Honolulu is in Honolulu County, Hawaii. The scammers pose as personnel from federal agencies such as the FBI, the Drug Enforcement Administration and the Secret Service to steal victims' money. The FBI said recent reports in Hawaii show the schemes becoming increasingly sophisticated, making it hard to tell whether a call or message is genuine.
The fraudsters use technology to spoof the official phone numbers of federal field offices, including FBI Honolulu's, and use real or fictitious agent names to gain trust. In one recent report, a scammer even appeared on a video-conference platform with a backdrop staged to look like a federal office, complete with a person in business attire, creating the illusion of an official investigation. The FBI stressed that real law enforcement officers will never ask members of the public by phone or video to transfer money, buy gift cards or provide bank account information in order to "assist an investigation" or "avoid arrest."
The FBI advises residents who receive a suspicious call to hang up immediately, not to call back numbers provided by the caller and not to click links sent to them; to verify, residents should look up official contact information themselves and contact the agency directly. Those who have lost money or received suspicious contacts can file a report with the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center. The field office noted that government-impersonation scams are common nationwide, and urged Hawaii residents to alert elderly family members and new immigrant relatives to be wary of such phone and video schemes.
