FBI says scammers used fake FBI token on Tron to trick users

Been around here long enough to think I’ve seen most scam variants… but this one’s interesting(though nothing new)

Apparently scammers are now creating a fake “FBI token” on Tron and using it to trick users into thinking it’s some kind of official or government linked asset.

What’s wild is people are still falling for this kind of branding play. Slap a logo, throw in “FBI”, and suddenly it feels legit to some users. Same old psychology, just repackaged.

The FBI actually had to step in and clarify this isn’t real (which says a lot by itself).

If you want to read the full story, it’s covered here:

Big takeaway (again):

If a token is using authority names (FBI, UN, govt, etc.), it’s almost always a scam. No legit agency is launching random tokens on Tron or anywhere else.

Feels like 2017 ICO vibes. Stay safe out there.
