How to Protect Your Device

There are several telltale signs that FBI agents have highlighted to show that you are dealing with scammers. Any demanding urgent payment should trigger immediate suspicion, no matter how convincing they may sound. Urgent payment can be done through your bank account, you should never give your personal information out over the phone.
