The FBI has issued a stark warning about a growing scam targeting individuals who’ve already been victimized. In this episode, we unpack how fraudsters are impersonating employees of the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3), promising to help victims recover lost funds — only to scam them again.

We’ll break down:

  • How the scam works and why it’s spreading
  • The tactics scammers use to build trust
  • Real examples, including fake IC3 directors and Telegram outreach
  • What the FBI says they will never do
  • Practical steps to avoid falling for “recovery scams”

Whether you're in cybersecurity, law enforcement, or just trying to stay safe online, this episode is a must-listen.
