The FBI has issued a warning about a phishing scam targeting Tron blockchain users with fake tokens impersonating the agency. The scam involves on-chain token transfers that deliver phishing messages directly to users' wallets, falsely claiming their wallets are "under investigation" and urging them to complete an AML verification process. These messages direct users to a website where they may be asked to provide sensitive personal information.
The FBI emphasized that it does not issue tokens or request identity verification through such methods. Users are advised to avoid engaging with any tokens or messages claiming to be from the FBI and to refrain from providing personal information to associated websites. Those who have interacted with the scam are encouraged to report it to the Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3). This warning underscores the increasing sophistication of crypto-related scams, as attackers exploit new technologies and user behaviors.
