The FBI\u2019s Internet Crime Complaint Center received nearly 69,500 reports of crypto fraud, which accounted for nearly half of all financial fraud losses in 2023.<\/p>\n<p>The FBI\u2019s <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ic3.gov\/Media\/PDF\/AnnualReport\/2023_IC3CryptocurrencyReport.pdf\">report<\/a><\/strong> reveals that investment scams were the most common type of crypto fraud, responsible for about 71% of reported losses. These scams often deceive victims with promises of high returns from volatile crypto investments. Other significant fraud types included call center scams, where fraudsters pose as government officials to extract cryptocurrency.<\/p>\n<p>Geographically, California, Florida, and Texas had the highest number of reported cases, with elderly individuals being particularly targeted. The FBI advised investors to be cautious and skeptical of offers that seem too good to be true.<\/p>\n<style>\n    .dark-mode .read-more {background-color: #343a40 !important;}\n<\/style>\n<div class=\"read-more pb-3 pt-3 pt-md-2 px-3 my-4 border bg-light\">\n    <h5 class=\"text-uppercase border-bottom mb-3 pb-1 d-none d-md-block\">READ MORE:<\/h5>\n    <a class=\"article row\" href=\"https:\/\/cryptodnes.bg\/en\/bitcoin-atms-the-rising-cybersecurity-threats-you-need-to-know\/\" title=\"Bitcoin ATMs: The Rising Cybersecurity Threats You Need to Know\">\n        <div class=\"contentRight col-4\">\n            <span class=\"imgContainer mt-0\">\n                <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"image img-defer\" src=\"https:\/\/cryptodnes.bg\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/07\/Cryptocurrency-Bitcoin-ATM-What-You-Need-To-Know-240x170.jpeg\">\n            <\/span>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"contentLeft col-8\">\n            <h4 class=\"title mb-0\">Bitcoin ATMs: The Rising Cybersecurity Threats You Need to Know<\/h4>           \n            \n        <\/div>        \n    <\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p>Additionally, the FBI recently warned against using cryptocurrency transfer services not registered with the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN).
