Within One Week, Cryptocurrency Holders Face Fake Investment Sites and Phony IRS Letters

New York State Police are warning residents of the Twin Tiers region about a cryptocurrency and gold investment scam. Fraudsters contact potential victims, build rapport, and then direct them to fake but legitimate-looking investment websites. Once victims enter their banking or account details, their funds are stolen. Authorities advise hanging up on unsolicited calls and calling 911, especially if the caller requests financial information. Separately, the IRS Criminal Investigation division warned on July 30th of a scam targeting cryptocurrency holders. Victims receive fake IRS letters claiming they must register on a non-existent "Digital Asset Compliance Portal" by a deadline. The letters contain QR codes redirecting to IRS-lookalike sites that steal personal information, wallet details, or exchange login credentials. The IRS confirms it does not operate such a portal. The advisory notes that while the IRS uses QR codes in some legitimate letters, taxpayers should ignore codes on suspicious mail and visit IRS.gov directly. The scam's scale and how the crypto holders' information was obtained remain unclear. This follows similar phishing campaigns, including one in May using fake Ledger security update emails. The FBI reports Americans lost approximately $21 billion to cybercrime and online fraud in 2025.

Gram Doubts: Scammers Develop Scheme with New Service in Telegram

Cybercriminals are exploiting news surrounding Telegram and its founder Pavel Durov to launch new phishing schemes targeting the Gram cryptocurrency. They create fake websites and Telegram bots, designed to mimic official platforms, to pressure users. Common tactics include urging people to urgently exchange old tokens, withdraw funds ahead of an alleged platform block, or receive free crypto through special services. Experts note a sharp rise in suspicious domain registrations mentioning Telegram, Durov, or Gram, with phishing domains doubling recently. The scams rely not on hacking technology, but on psychological manipulation—leveraging fear of loss, promises of easy profits, and a false sense of urgency. The fraudsters build complex "ecosystems of false trust," guiding victims from search results to channels, bots, and ultimately fake sites to steal seed phrases or authorize transactions. Officials warn that Telegram does not distribute cryptocurrency or conduct token conversions via third-party sites. The primary defense remains user caution: avoid clicking promotional links, never enter seed phrases on external sites, and use only official Telegram services for crypto wallets.

Fake Flare Network Website Stole $8.5 Million Worth of XRP

A fake staking website, impersonating Flare Network and FXRP, stole approximately 3.4 million XRP (worth around $8.5 million USD) from 71 investors over eight days in October last year. The fraudulent site lured victims by promising guaranteed principal and monthly returns of 1.5% to 1.8%. It tricked investors into withdrawing their XRP from local exchanges and sending it to wallets controlled by the scammers via offshore platforms. The site was shut down on October 23, and its operators vanished. Seoul police tracked assets worth 27.3 billion won ($18.8 million) linked to the scam, freezing 17.3 billion won. Two individuals involved have been handed over to prosecutors on aggravated fraud charges, and another is under investigation for document forgery. Police executed 54 search and seizure warrants and arrested a suspect who had returned from hiding abroad. South Korean authorities have declared a zero-tolerance policy for cryptocurrency fraud this year, warning investors to verify official sources before sending funds as part of heightened vigilance against such scams.
