Beware: Scammers Impersonate CISA in Bold New Fraud Scheme

CISA has issued a warning about impersonation scams on the rise. Scammers are pretending to be CISA agents, asking for money transfers or gold deliveries. Remember, CISA will never ask you to wire money, use gift cards, or keep conversations secret. If contacted, hang up…

Hot Take:

Looks like scammers are taking their cosplay a bit too seriously, dressing up as the CISA! These cyber tricksters really need to get a hobby that doesn’t involve defrauding people. Maybe knitting?

Key Points:

  • CISA warns of a rise in impersonation scams using names and titles of government employees.
  • Scammers claim victims’ funds are at risk and ask to transfer money to “secure” government vaults.
  • In some cases, scammers even request victims to purchase gold and other precious metals.
  • Senior citizens are often the primary targets of these scams.
  • Victims are advised to note the caller’s number, hang up, and report the incident to CISA.
