--On Thu. 02/29 a citizen advised police that she responded to a pop-up message on her computer, was led to believe that she was the subject of a federal investigation and was given instructions to transfer money. The resident realized that she was being scammed prior to sending any funds. In most cases it is not a good idea to click on or respond to pop-ups. Please take a few moments to review the internet crime information on the FBI website and caution your more vulnerable relatives, friends and neighbors about these types of scams. https://www.fbi.gov/how-we-can-help-you/scams-and-safety/on-the-internet
