Over the past several months, Virginia has seen a continuation of government impersonation scams targeting residents with fraudulent claims of legal action. Scammers, posing as law enforcement, are using spoofed phone numbers and fake court summonses to trick victims into paying fines via gift cards or cryptocurrency. Suspects are believed to be part of organized, possibly international networks, employing advanced tactics. The motive is financial gain, exploiting fear and trust in authority. These scams reflect a growing trend of technological sophistication and targeting of vulnerable individuals. Public vigilance and verification of official contacts are critical to counter this ongoing threat.
