Overview
- The FBI New York Field Office disavowed the token and told users not to provide any personal information or interact with linked sites, urging reports to IC3.
- Tronscan data shows the token was created roughly eight days before the alert and reached at least 728 wallets, including several holding over $1 million in USDT.
- Messages claim targeted wallets are under investigation and warn of a "total block" on assets, with the linked site asserting users can avoid "current sanctions" by complying.
- The scheme embeds phishing prompts directly into token transfers, bypassing traditional spam defenses and tapping into a broader rise in law-enforcement impersonation scams.
- As context, the FBI previously used an investigative token in 2024 (NexF) but emphasized it is not behind the Tron token now circulating.
