FBI Agent Talks Fraud
Posted on Feb 01, 2017
Special Agent George E. Graves, Jr., a 21 year veteran with the Federal Bureau of Investigation, currently assigned to the Columbia Field Office, Hilton Head Resident Agency, spoke to the Bluffton Rotary Club about fraud and some recent scam operations investigated by the FBI in our area. Some general take-aways from his talk: if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is; the FBI and the Federal Government will never call you for money – they will just show up at your door; do not put business checks in your outgoing mail box – take them directly to the post office; be very careful clicking on emails from someone you do not know ... in fact, just don’t; change your passwords frequently and never let someone take control of your computer.
