My name is Keith and I work for the Birmingham, Alabama FBI. We have been getting a high volume of calls from people regarding scams and your website is been mentioned. Someone has apparently been giving out the Birmingham FBI telephone number as a contact to call regarding being the victim of a scam. That is all well and good--except that we only will work scam cases in our territory, i.e. Alabama. We have been getting calls from all over the US from people telling us they got our number off your website. Please correct this asap. Victims of scams (in states other than Alabama) will need to contact their local FBI office, not the Birmingham FBI. Hope this clears up any misconceptions.
Keith I have a quick question for you. If someone contacts you with a scam situation where they have wired the money out of the country. Do you do any follow-up, or is the reporting for you more of a recordkeeping type thing.
