An Illinois man complained to local police nearly two weeks ago that two people impersonating FBI agents came into his South Elgin home and examined the contents of his computer.

Now the homeowner, L. John Toth, 51, has been charged with making a false police report, The Courier-News reports.

Turns out, those people were not scammers; they were real FBI agents investigating Toth for possessing child pornography, The Courier-News reported.

“The alleged offender failed to notify the police that he actually knew that the two subjects were actual agents and failed to notify police of specific incidences with the reason the agents were there,” said a statement from South Elgin police.
