@departamentofhomeland: ⚠️Homeland Security Investigations special agents in Houston issued a warning Oct. 8 cautioning attorneys to beware of a scam that’s on the rise where the fraudster poses as prospective clients and also as the opposing party of a legal matter. The fake opposing party sends a large check to the attorney pretending to resolve the fake client’s legal dispute. Then, the fake client requests part of the funds from the attorney. The attorney wires the funds to the fraudster client who will promptly transfer the money before the bank can realize the check is fraudulent. 📰Learn more details about this scam and its warning signs in our newsroom. #DHS #HSI #ICEERO #homelandsecurityinvestigations #borderpatrolagent
