The FBI's Office of Private Sector has issued a report detailing a nationwide scam targeting licensed healthcare professionals. Medical professionals have been contacted by phone, email or mail by individuals claiming to be with a state's Board of Medicine, the US Department of Justice, or the Drug Enforcement Administration and have been advised that their medical license has been suspended or that they are under investigation for illegal opioid distribution. The contacts often demand immediate payment to avoid license suspension.
