The FBI’s Boston division has issued a warning about a rise in scams where people are impersonating federal authorities. Officials say scammers are pretending to be representatives from well-known law enforcement agencies, including the FBI, with the plan to extort money or personal information. FBI officials say neither they nor any other federal agency or law enforcement will call individuals to threaten arrest or demand money.
