Scammers Exploit 2024 US General Election to Perpetrate Multiple Fraud Schemes
IC3.gov
The FBI is warning the public about scammers exploiting the 2024 US General election to perpetrate multiple types of financial fraud schemes. These scams target victims across the United States and have previously exploited state and local elections for similar scams.
Scammers use the names, images, logos, and slogans of candidates to fraudulently solicit campaign contributions, sell merchandise (which is never sent to the purchaser), or steal victim personally identifiable information (PII) that can be used for other fraud.
- Campaign Investment Pool Scheme
- Victims are promised a return on their campaign contribution dollars if they invest in a pool to fund the candidate's campaign. The pool is guaranteed to grow and be returned to the victims after the candidate wins. Victims are also encouraged to recruit others to invest in the pool to increase their share of the payout.
