🚨 Cryptocurrency alert! Scammers are continuing to use an old but very effective scheme - posing as law firms, promising to help return stolen cryptocurrencies. This is gaining momentum in 2024, and victims have already lost over $10 million.
What's happening:
Scammers pretend to be lawyers or firms, claiming to work with government agencies like the FBI and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to get your funds back.
They demand personal information and an upfront payment, promising to return your assets, but after receiving the money, they stop communicating.
FBI Advice: Never trust anyone who asks for an upfront payment for "legal services" to return your cryptocurrency. Real law enforcement does not charge for investigating crimes. If you are asked to pay or provide personal information, it is most likely a scam.
