The IC3 was established as a partnership between the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the National White Collar Crime Center (NW3C) to serve as a means to receive Internet related criminal complaints and to further research, develop, and refer the criminal complaints to federal, state, local, or international law enforcement and/or regulatory agencies for any investigation they deem to be appropriate.
The IC3's October 17, 2011 Scam Alert highlighted several current scams, one of which is an email claiming to be from the FDIC. Read about this and other current scams at: http://www.ic3.gov/media/2011/111017.aspx.
