Australian police: Criminals are abusing the national cybercrime platform to steal funds from encryption Wallets.
PANews, November 13 news, according to Decrypt, on Wednesday, the Australian Federal Police warned that scammers are using Australia's national cybercrime reporting system ReportCyber to submit false reports using stolen personal information, and then impersonating Australian Federal Police officers to call victims and steal their digital assets. This eyewash is very deceptive, and criminals verify information in a reasonable manner and act quickly to create a sense of urgency.
They illegally obtain email addresses, phone numbers, and other information, using the system's rules that allow third parties to report on their behalf to gain trust. Some victims received calls from "police," who informed them that they were involved in a digital asset data leak incident and received what appeared to be an official reference number. After seeing reports that matched those submitted by the scammers, they almost fell for it. Then, a second caller impersonated the platform and used the same number to induce a transfer, fortunately, the victim acted in time.
