A new type of extortion scam is hitting phones across the nation, as fraudsters use spoofing technologies to trick people into paying them large sums of money.
FBI officials were recently made aware of a new scam that may be hitting the public’s cellphones in the near future.
“We’re not f***ing around. We’re going to kill your parents if you don’t listen,” the caller said to Brown at one point.“He is getting super angry. He is hitting things; I am hearing a woman crying,” she explained. She was apprehensive in messaging either of her parents on Facebook or in text, since the person supposedly had their phones, and she didn’t want them to see and put her parents in further jeopardy.
