đš Attention, ! In 2024, scammers have taken an old trick and refined it: posing as lawyers from fake law firms to scam people out of their crypto. This scheme has escalated, with victims losing over $10 million between February 2023 and February 2024.
Hereâs how it works:
Fraudsters pose as lawyers claiming to help recover stolen crypto assets, pretending to work with legitimate agencies like the FBI and financial institutions.
They demand personal information and upfront fees before promising to recover your funds, but after receiving the payment, they vanish.
FBI Tip: Never trust anyone asking for payment upfront to help recover stolen assets. Law enforcement agencies do not charge victims for investigations. Always double-check the legitimacy of any firm offering such services.
