#WarningWednesday: Impostors Are Everywhere. Protect Yourself Today. The rise in impersonation scams is alarming. Fraudsters exploit trusted brands like CNC Intelligence Inc. to deceive unsuspecting victims. These criminals go to great lengths to appear legitimate, creating clone websites, using fraudulent emails, and creating fake social media profiles. New reports show impostors claiming affiliation with CNC Intelligence are targeting individuals through emails such as support@cryptofinancial[.]info and phone numbers like +44 7342 558507. These scammers promise recovery services or assistance with cryptocurrency transactions, preying on the vulnerable. In one recent case, impostors even posed as government-appointed representatives to gain trust. This reminds us of what we all know to be true: vigilance is our strongest defense against scams. Fraud thrives on trust, so verify before engaging. Have you or someone you know encountered suspicious activity? Please share your experiences in the comments to help others stay safe.

Scammers are weaponizing AI, social media, and stolen identities to create the most convincing traps. ESET’s recent H2 2024 Threat Report, shared by The Hacker News and authored by Ravie Lakshmanan, uncovers a rapidly growing investment scam operation called Nomani. Fraudsters exploit AI-powered deepfake videos, malvertising, and stolen social media profiles to lure victims into fake investment schemes. Their targets are often those who have already been scammed once, leveraging psychological vulnerabilities and fake promises of recovery. The sophistication of these scams — from Europol and INTERPOL impersonations to manipulative phone calls — highlights a new level of social engineering designed to bypass even the most vigilant defenses. The threat actors behind #Nomani, likely Russian-speaking groups, build trust only to strip victims of their money and data in a cruel twist on the classic pig butchering scam. The scale is staggering: over 100 new phishing URLs were detected daily between May and November 2024. Staying ahead of these scams requires awareness, proactive defenses, and support from professionals who understand these evolving threats. At CNC Intelligence Inc., we’ve seen firsthand how these schemes destroy lives and are committed to helping victims fight back. Knowledge is power. Sharing it is a step toward protecting yourself and others. What do you think is the biggest challenge in combating these AI-driven scams?

Billions lost. Lives shattered. Trust weaponized. The latest investigation from ABC News exposes the dark reality behind “pig butchering” scams, where fraudsters exploit trust, relationships, and global trafficking networks to devastate victims financially and emotionally. In 2024 alone, crypto investment scams cost Americans nearly $2 billion, and the toll keeps rising. These scams aren’t just financial crimes; they are deeply personal betrayals. Victims are groomed for months, sometimes years, through meticulously crafted relationships before being coerced into investing everything they have. The investigation, featuring insights from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and County of Santa Clara prosecutor Erin West, highlights just how sophisticated and far-reaching these fraud operations are. As criminals evolve their tactics, leveraging AI and international networks, the need for awareness, vigilance, and support for victims is greater than ever. Fraud isn’t just a crime against individuals; it undermines the trust and security we all rely on. Combating these scams requires relentless pursuit, education, and the collaboration of law enforcement, investigators, and the public.

They pretend to be us. They want your trust. They want your money. But they’re not us. Impostor scams are on the rise, and fraudsters are getting smarter. The latest reports show a wave of fake websites, emails, and social media accounts, all designed to deceive. Just this month, we’ve uncovered domains like revundo[.com], fake Facebook profiles, and emails posing as our agents with names like Martin Rodriguez and Tom Kosters. These impostors don’t just steal identities — they exploit your trust. Our team at CNC Intelligence Inc. continues to track, report, and take down these fraudulent entities. But staying protected starts with you. Always verify you’re on our official website (cncintel.com), check the legitimacy of any communication, and never trust anyone asking for money to recover your funds. We know our community believes in vigilance. Together, we can outsmart the scammers. Have you encountered a scam like this? Share your story and help others stay protected.

Recovering stolen crypto isn’t the end of the story. It’s the beginning of a legal labyrinth. When cryptocurrency is stolen and later recovered, determining who gets the money back is a challenge that could shape the future of restitution and crypto crime cases. The recent Reuters article by alison frankel dives into the 2016 Bitfinex hack, where the U.S. Department of Justice seized 94,000 Bitcoins stolen in one of the biggest crypto heists ever. The DOJ’s recovery was a win for justice, but now comes the complex part: Who has the right to claim those funds? This restitution battle highlights critical issues for victims, law enforcement, and legal professionals navigating the world of crypto crime. For scam victims and those who fight for them, one truth remains: Recovery is only part of the justice equation. How do you think these restitution decisions should be made? Let us know your thoughts. Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/eAMtxRew

Criminals love crypto ATMs. Regulators are finally taking notice. AUSTRAC is cracking down on crypto ATMs that fail to comply with anti-money laundering laws, addressing a growing avenue for scams and money laundering. In a significant move to combat financial crime, AUSTRAC's new task force aims to ensure that digital currency exchanges offering crypto ATM services implement robust safeguards. With over 1,200 crypto ATMs in Australia, this initiative highlights how accessible and near-instant crypto transactions are increasingly exploited for scams and illicit activity. AUSTRAC CEO Brendan Thomas underscored the urgency by pointing out how "too many" Australians are falling victim to these scams. For victims of scams and law professionals dealing with crypto crime, this action represents a crucial step in curbing misuse and protecting consumers. Financial crime has no borders. Collaboration between regulators, investigators, and the industry is the key to staying one step ahead. What do you think of AUSTRAC's move to tighten crypto ATM regulations? Are other countries doing enough to address similar issues? Read the full article here by Reuters, written by Himanshi Akhand: https://lnkd.in/enD-H5ac.

Trust betrayed from within can cut the deepest. A recent case revealed the staggering scope of a Ponzi scheme orchestrated by someone who exploited the trust of friends, family, and fellow veterans. The damage? Over $35 million vanished into a web of lies and deceit. This case, investigated and traced by CNC Intelligence Inc., uncovered a sophisticated scheme involving fake investment promises and falsified profit reports. Once trusted by his community, the perpetrator manipulated connections and convinced even his closest friends to invest significant sums, promising high returns. When the truth surfaced, victims were left with empty accounts and shattered confidence. One lawsuit filed in the U.S. uncovered crucial evidence: cryptocurrency transactions tracked by CNC Intelligence led directly to the scammer's wallet, revealing millions of dollars funneled through fraudulent exchanges like #Nittrex[.io]. The collaboration between cyber investigators and law enforcement was key in untangling this complex fraud and exposing the truth. Scams like this aren't just financial crimes—they fracture the very foundations of trust. But justice is possible when fraud is met with skilled investigation and relentless pursuit of the truth. Financial fraud is a betrayal—but transparency and vigilance can restore trust.  Have you or someone you know encountered a similar breach of trust? Share your thoughts below.

Cryptocurrency scams are evolving faster than ever, and they’re costing billions. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI)’s newly released 2023 Cryptocurrency Fraud Report reveals that crypto-related fraud surged to over $5.6 billion in losses last year, with investment scams alone claiming $3.9 billion. The report highlights the growing complexity of these schemes, from tech support and romance scams to fake government impersonations, all exploiting the rapid adoption of virtual assets. The FBI’s Virtual Assets Unit (VAU) is stepping up efforts to combat these crimes, centralizing blockchain analysis, training, and investigations. But for victims and those on the front lines of fraud detection, the fight doesn’t end there. Accurate tracing, rapid reporting, and public awareness are crucial weapons in this battle. Trusting the right people and the right processes is essential when everything is on the line. In the fight against crypto fraud, knowledge and action are your best defense.
