The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has issued a public service announcement warning people about various election-related scams targeting voters and political enthusiasts. The FBI outlines four common scams: investment pools promising guaranteed returns based on election outcomes, fake political action committees (PACs) soliciting donations, deceptive websites selling campaign merchandise that is never delivered, and fraudulent voter registration alerts designed to steal personal information. The FBI advises the public to be cautious of unsolicited communications, avoid sharing personal data with unknown individuals, and confirm the legitimacy of political affiliations through official channels.
