It seems that the FBI has an 800 number — a toll-free tip line — where you can call in to give them a tip about federal crimes. I only know this because today I got a call from that number.<\/p>\n
At first I didn’t know it was the FBI toll-free tip line. But I didn’t recognize the number, so while they were calling me I Googled it rather than pick up.<\/p>\n
And that’s when I learned what the number is for. And who was supposedly calling me.<\/p>\n
