FBI warns of fake tokens on Tron network impersonating institutions

The U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has warned users about fake tokens circulating on the Tron (TRX) network that impersonate official institutions, The Block reported. In a post on X, the FBI's New York office advised users not to provide personally identifiable information to websites associated with tokens sent from certain accounts. The scam involves sending TRC-20 tokens to a user's wallet and then demanding personal information, citing potential asset freezes for alleged Anti-Money Laundering (AML) violations. The FBI stated that the extent of the damages is not yet known and urged anyone who encounters suspicious activity to report it to the Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3).
