I wanted to bring to your attention a concerning new scam that is currently sweeping across the U.S. As detailed in a recent blog post by KnowBe4, this scam involves individuals being tricked into withdrawing large sums of cash from their bank accounts and handing it over to scammers. The scammers often pose as representatives from prominent companies or law enforcement agencies, convincing victims that their accounts have been compromised and that they need to act quickly to protect their funds.

Key points to be aware of:

• Scammers may pose as representatives from companies like Amazon or as law enforcement officials.
• Victims are told their accounts are compromised and are instructed to withdraw and hand over cash.
• Scammers use high-pressure tactics and instruct victims not to trust anyone, including their spouses.

Please remain vigilant and share this information with your family and friends to help prevent them from falling victim to this scam. If you receive any suspicious calls or messages, do not engage and report them immediately.
