TBI Warns of New Scam

The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI) is alerting the public to a scam circulating on social media involving a fraudulent website advertised as an app called “Tennessee Online Casino.” The TBI issued a warning on May 6, 2025, at 1:00 PM, highlighting that this is not a legitimate, state-endorsed application but rather a deceptive website designed to defraud users.

According to the TBI, the individuals behind this scam are promoting the fake casino website by creating fabricated social media posts that appear to originate from a Nashville television station. This tactic is intended to lend false credibility to their scheme.

The TBI is strongly advising Tennesseans to exercise extreme caution and to avoid clicking on any links or engaging with posts advertising the “Tennessee Online Casino” app or website. They urge individuals to “think twice” before interacting with such suspicious online content.

For those interested in verifying licensed online sports gaming platforms within the state, the TBI recommends visiting the official website of the Tennessee Sports Wagering Council. The TBI emphasizes the importance of vigilance to protect oneself from online scams and financial exploitation.
