The Australian Federal Police have issued a warning about scammers exploiting the national cybercrime reporting system, ReportCyber, to steal cryptocurrency. Criminals are submitting fraudulent reports using stolen personal information and impersonating police officers to deceive victims into transferring digital assets. The scam involves creating a false sense of urgency and using seemingly official reference numbers to gain trust. In one case, a victim was nearly tricked into transferring funds after receiving a call from someone claiming to be a police officer about a cryptocurrency data breach. The police urge the public to remain vigilant against such scams and protect their digital assets.
