The FBI is warning about a widespread scam targeting seniors and others, where fraudsters convince victims that their bank accounts are compromised.

The scammers then persuade victims to withdraw large sums of cash or purchase gold bars, which are collected by fake couriers posing as officials. This scheme has resulted in significant financial losses for victims, often amounting to hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars.

The FBI is actively investigating these cases and urging the public, especially seniors, to be vigilant against such fraudulent activities.
