The FBI urges victims to report scam activities through official channels and provide any transaction information related to the scam.
The United States Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) issued a warning about scammers pretending to be affiliated with crypto exchanges to steal users’ funds.
According to the FBI, scammers are contacting their targets through calls or messages and presenting themselves as employees of a crypto exchange. They would claim that there are problems with the user’s account or that someone is attempting to compromise their exchange accounts.
The malicious actors often try to rattle their potential victims and convey that the user must urgently act to protect their accounts.
