Gate News: On March 19, the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) issued a warning about fake tokens impersonating the FBI on the Tron network, urging users to stay vigilant. The FBI New York Division stated on social media that if users receive tokens claiming to be from the FBI in their wallets, they should exercise caution and not provide any personal information to related websites. According to disclosed information, these scams typically operate based on the TRC-20 token standard. Attackers send so-called “FBI tokens” to users’ wallets and threaten to freeze assets on the grounds of suspected violations of anti-money laundering (AML) regulations, tricking users into submitting sensitive information to carry out phishing attacks. The FBI also recommends users report such suspicious activities through its Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3). It is currently unclear how many users have been affected.
