📲 Got a DM from the “FBI” on Telegram?
🚨 Did someone named “Jaimie Quin” claim they run IC3?

⚠️ It’s a scam. Full stop.

The FBI just issued an alert warning the public:
They are NOT direct messaging victims on Telegram or any other social media app.

A scammer posing as “Jaimie Quin” is pretending to be the head of the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) — and reaching out to individuals claiming they’ve been hacked or need help.

🚫 It’s a fraudulent scheme designed to gain your trust… and steal your info or money.

🔐 Remember:
✅ The FBI does NOT initiate contact through social apps
✅ IC3 communications never happen via Telegram
✅ Always verify claims through official .gov websites

Don’t get duped by a fake badge.
Stay informed. Stay protected. 🛡️

👀 Could your next Google search lead you into a cyber trap?
🔐 Are you sure that “HR login” link isn’t a fake?

🚨 The FBI just issued a Public Service Announcement warning EVERYONE — yes, even you — that cybercriminals are now targeting employee self-service websites (like payroll, benefits, and HR portals).

Here’s how it works:
⚠️ Fraudsters buy search engine ads that look legit
⚠️ The ad directs you to a fake login page
⚠️ You enter your info... and they steal it

🔎 They’re after YOUR login, YOUR paycheck, and YOUR personal financial data.

🛡️ What to do:
✅ Never click login links from search ads
✅ Always navigate directly to known URLs
✅ Use multi-factor authentication on everything

Stay sharp. Stay secure.
This isn’t just IT’s job — it’s everyone’s job now.
