FBI warns of phone scam

(WAND) - Iran and Russia are attempting to interfere in the 2020 U.S. election, the FBI announced Wednesday. 

The announcement came in a Wednesday evening press conference. The FBI specifically said intelligence officials have learned Iran has sent spoofed emails to incite voters. 

Iran is also sending out information saying people can cast fraudulent ballots, which the FBI said is false. 

Russia has obtained some voter information, the FBI said. 

Federal officials told the public in this conference their votes are secure in 2020.  Activity was caught quickly, and leaders said they acted swiftly to the threat.

More to come.Â
