Another imposter scam hits Capitol Hill
Someone using an outdated cellphone number belonging to House Intelligence Committee Chairman Rick Crawford (R-Arkansas) contacted at least one current and one former member of Congress seeking help with a purported project related to first lady Melania Trump.
The impostor contacted to Rep. Eric Burlison (R-Missouri) and disgraced New York GOP congressman George Santos via the popular messaging app Telegram and directed them to install a special 'Phoner App' so more information could be shared with them about the alleged project, according to both Burlison and Santos.
