FBI Alerts Public to Election Fraud Schemes Targeting Voters

Scammers exploit election excitement to steal personal information and money through fraudulent solicitations and merchandise sales.

The FBI has identified four main types of election scams, including fake investment pools and fraudulent PAC donations.
Scammers impersonate candidates and political movements to solicit campaign contributions and sell merchandise that is never delivered.
Victims receive fake alerts about voter registration issues, directing them to fraudulent websites to steal personal data.
The FBI advises caution with unsolicited communications and recommends verifying PAC legitimacy on the Federal Election Commission website.
Reports of fraudulent activity should be submitted to the Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) to help prevent further scams.
