THE FBI is warning Americans to stay vigilant when opening texts on their phone as scammers continue to send out deceptive messages.

The fraudulent messages were found to be sent out by Chinese criminal gangs that gathered phone numbers from multiple countries and providers.

The FBI is warning over 150 million Apple and Samsung users to delete these messages immediately from their iPhones or they risk having their information stolen.

““Since April 2025, malicious actors have impersonated senior US officials to target individuals, many of whom are current or former senior US federal or state government officials and their contacts,” the FBI wrote in its statement.

“If you receive a message claiming to be from a senior US official, do not assume it is authentic.”
