Today’s highlighted scam for March – Fraud Awareness Month, is impersonation scams. 🕶 💳
The giveaway scam example we just outlined earlier is also an impersonation scam, but there are many other impersonation scams to be aware of. For example, crypto thieves will say they’re from the government or law enforcement in order to gain some credibility. From there, they’ll convince you your accounts or assets are frozen as part of an investigation, and that you can pay them in crypto to resolve the issue. 👮♂️ 👮♀
Other times, they’ll say they’re from a large company like Amazon, Microsoft, FedEx or even your bank in order to convince you of some other storyline. In the end though, the goal is getting your crypto no matter which lies they use.
