Authorities in Orange County are investigating reports that men are posing as federal immigration agents to scam people out of hundreds of dollars.
Investigators from several Orange County law enforcement agencies, including Anaheim, Santa Ana and Westminster , are looking for the scammers who are threatening to deport people who don’t pay up.The fake agents are specifically targeting immigrant communities, Westminster detectives said. At least two men were robbed just in the past week.
The men, appearing to be in their 20’s or 30’s, were clean cut and nicely dressed with a black handgun on the center console, according to the victim.“It's not legitimate. Federal agents don’t detain people in the street. That’s just not how it works,” Esqueda said.
