Scammers Acting As FBI Employees Targeting Baltimore Area Residents

BALTIMORE (WJZ) -- The FBI's Baltimore field office is warning residents of scammers targeting area residents.

According to the FBI, scammers have been calling people in Baltimore and pretending to be an FBI employee. The victims are told they will be arrested if they don't pay a fine.

"The FBI will NEVER call and threaten to arrest you or demand money," the agency tweeted Monday.

If you think you're being scammed, report it to the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center.
