The FBI warned on Thursday of a new threat emerging on Tron’s network, with users receiving tokens that aren’t actually coming from federal law enforcement.
“FBI New York encourages users of the Tron blockchain network to exercise caution if they encounter a token purported to be from the FBI,” the office said. “Do not provide any identifying information to any website associated with such [a] token.”
The token, which bears the FBI’s name, claims recipient wallets are under investigation. And if users fail to verify their personal information, they risk “a total block on your assets.”
Although some of the token’s recipients may breathe a sigh of relief, it is unclear how many of them will file a report with the FBI’s division for reporting internet-facilitated crimes, as suggested.
