The FBI is responding to a surge in cryptocurrency scams, involving fraudulent investments and employment schemes. According to Golden Finance, as Bitcoin reaches an all-time high, FBI Baltimore agent David Paniwozik has noted an increasing number of criminals attempting to profit from cryptocurrency scams. 'They want to get in on it and try to make money; it seems like a quick and easy way to do it,' said SA Paniwozik. A major issue is that investors are still unfamiliar with the technology, making them more susceptible to scams. SA Paniwozik warned, 'Whether you want to transfer 1 dollar, hundreds of millions, or billions, there is no limit. You can seamlessly transfer it from a wallet controlled in the U.S. to a wallet controlled overseas in just a few seconds. Scammers have set up their own cryptocurrency exchanges, making you believe your investment is growing exponentially, or they say you have to pay in cryptocurrency to 'unlock' jobs that offer high returns.'
