The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has issued a public warning, alerting the public to fraudulent tokens impersonating the agency, and specifically pointing out a phishing scam involving a "FBI token" that uses TRC-20 tokens on the Tron network. The scam attempts to threaten users with asset freezes on the grounds of suspected violations of anti-money laundering laws, coercing them to disclose personal information. Meanwhile, the FBI reports that in 2023, cryptocurrency fraud caused losses totaling billions of dollars, a 45% increase over 2022, with investment fraud remaining the largest category of losses.
