U.S. Marshals, FBI warn of phone scams impersonating them
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Phone scammers are posing as the FBI, U.S. Marshals, court officers, or other law enforcement officials, prompting a response from the agencies this weekend.
In the scams, callers tell the victims they can avoid being arrested by sending them cash or a prepaid debit card.
Authorities are reminding people none of these officials would call or offer this deal.
