FBI warns of fake law firms targeting crypto scam victims https://t.co/id0BDas110
The FBI has issued a public service announcement (#PSA) warning about fraudsters posing as lawyers from fictitious law firms. These scammers are targeting victims of previous cryptocurrency scams, promising to recover lost funds. The FBI describes this as an 'emerging criminal tactic' where fraudsters contact victims, claiming to have authorization to investigate their cases. These scams have resulted in significant financial losses, with reports indicating that hundreds, possibly thousands, of people have been duped out of crores of rupees. In one instance, scammers managed to steal an additional $10 million from victims through this deceptive tactic. The alert was highlighted by BTCTN.
