#Crypto news update :
The #Australian Financial Crimes Exchange ( #AFCX ) has found that 47% of Australian scam funds are sent to cryptocurrency exchanges accounts, including several leading Australian banks. This is a significant increase from the previous year, when only 30% of scam funds were sent to crypto exchanges.
The AFCX attributes the increase in crypto-related scams to the growing popularity of cryptocurrency and the ease with which it can be used to transfer money anonymously. Scammers are also taking advantage of the fact that cryptocurrency transactions are often difficult to track and recover.
The AFCX is urging Australians to be aware of the risks of cryptocurrency scams and to take steps to protect themselves. This includes being careful about who you provide your personal information to, and only using reputable cryptocurrency exchanges.
