Original release date: February 01, 2018

The Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) has released an alert on impersonation scams. In these schemes, scammers send 
emails impersonating IC3 to trick recipients into providing personally identifiable information or downloading 
malicious files. Users should use caution when reviewing unsolicited messages.

NCCIC/US-CERT encourages consumers to refer to the IC3 Alert [ https://www.ic3.gov/media/2018/180201.aspx ] and the 
NCCIC/US-CERT Tip on Avoiding Social Engineering and Phishing Attacks [ https://www.us-cert.gov/ncas/tips/ST04-014 ] 
for more information.
