Hello, I'm Clay Joyner, the U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Mississippi. Be aware of calls, texts, or social media messages claiming to be from a government agency and threatening you with a problem. This is a scam. Federal agencies will never ask for personal information, pressure you to lie or keep secrets, or demand immediate payment.
Specifically, federal agencies will never request payment via cryptocurrency like Bitcoin, prepaid debit cards, cash, or gold bars. If you receive such a request, hang up or ignore the message. Report the scam to the Federal Trade Commission at ReportFraud.ftc.gov. Thank you.
