FBI Raises Alarm Over Fake Crypto Recovery Services Targeting Scam Victims

The FBI has issued a warning about fraudulent services preying on individuals who have fallen victim to crypto scams. These schemes involve fictitious law firms contacting victims, promising to retrieve stolen funds but instead aiming to profit further by demanding upfront payments in cryptocurrency or gift cards. These practices often involve collecting sensitive personal information. This follows previous advisories from the FBI released in August 2023 and June 2024, urging caution regarding unsolicited legal outreach from unknown sources.
