FBI Issues Caution on Growing Threat of Crypto Exchange Fraud
The FBI has issued a warning about scammers posing as cryptocurrency exchange employees to steal funds.
These fraudsters contact victims through unsolicited calls or messages, creating urgency by claiming issues with their accounts. They then trick victims into providing login details, clicking on malicious links, or sharing personal information.
To protect themselves, users should not respond to unsolicited communications, verify claims by contacting the exchange through official channels, and avoid sharing login details or clicking on links from unknown sources.
