Odaily Odaily reports that the FBI has issued a warning about fake tokens impersonating the FBI appearing on the Tron network, urging users to be vigilant.

The FBI's New York field office stated on social media that users should be cautious if they receive tokens in their wallets that claim to be from the FBI, and should never provide any personally identifiable information to such websites.

According to the 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 under the pretext of suspected violation of anti-money laundering (AML) regulations, thereby inducing users to submit sensitive information and carrying out phishing attacks.

The FBI also advised users to report any suspicious activity through its Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3). It is currently unclear how many users have been affected.
