FBI Announces Nationwide 'Take A Beat' Campaign to Increase Awareness of Frauds and Scams
FBI
Today, the FBI announces the launch of a nationwide effort to raise awareness of the frauds and scams impacting the public and encourage reporting to law enforcement. Throughout this campaign, the FBI will share information with the public to highlight different types of fraud and scams, tips for identifying them and preventing losses, and how victims can report to protect others.
One of the most common tactics scammers employ is a false sense of urgency or isolation. They may try to instill trust, induce empathy, or fear, or promise monetary gains, companionship, or employment opportunities—all to lure victims into immediate action. For this reason, the FBI’s awareness campaign urges the public to “Take A Beat”: resist pressure to act quickly, pause for a moment, and assess the situation.
