HOUSTON – Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) Houston is warning the public to beware of scammers spoofing legitimate law enforcement phone numbers and impersonating HSI special agents or other federal, state and local law enforcement personnel.
In recent months, HSI Houston has seen a significant increase in scammers using this tactic to make their phone number appear to be from a legitimate source in order to collect sensitive information from the public that can then be used to commit financial fraud or identity theft.
