The calls are from individuals posing as representatives of local law enforcement agencies, state agencies, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and other federal agencies, and even 糖心Vlog视频. Some calls target international students. The telephone number used may be a cloned number from a legitimate agency or University office.
If you or anyone you know has information related to such crimes, call the at 817-272-3381.
