The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has issued a warning that fake tokens impersonating the FBI have appeared on the Tron network, urging users to remain vigilant.

The FBI's New York field office stated on social media that users who receive tokens claiming to be from the FBI in their wallets should exercise caution and never provide any personal identification information to related websites. According to disclosed information, these scams typically operate based on the TRC-20 token standard, where attackers send so-called "FBI tokens" to users' wallets and threaten to freeze assets under the pretext of violating anti-money laundering (AML) regulations, thereby inducing users to submit sensitive information and executing phishing attacks. The FBI also recommends that users report any suspicious activity through its Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3). It is currently unclear how many users have been affected.
