⚠️ Warning from the FBI regarding scammers impersonating lawyers to target victims of previous cryptocurrency fraud

🕵️‍♂️ Scammers impersonate lawyers or legal firms and target individuals who have previously fallen victim to cryptocurrency fraud.

💰 They promise to recover lost funds and request upfront fees, often in cryptocurrencies or gift cards, then steal more money.

📱 Victims are pressured to join fake WhatsApp groups with fake “bank officials.”

⚠️ Warning signs: Use of counterfeit legal documents bearing the logos of real companies, claims of fake partnerships with government entities, and scammers knowing detailed information about the victims' previous losses.

🛡️ FBI tips for protection:

Handle any unexpected offers with extreme caution (Zero Trust).

Verify the lawyer's licensing and refuse those who do not provide official information.

Keep detailed records of all correspondence and calls as future evidence.

🔹 Summary: Beware of any unexpected lawyer or legal firm offering to recover your money from previous frauds, and stay away from any requests for upfront payments or suspicious external links.
