Cryptocurrency fraud: Things you should look out for | FOX 7 Austin
SUMMARY: Ethan Riv, co-founder of Lions Gate Network, highlights that crypto scams drain around $53 billion annually from the US economy, affecting not just crypto enthusiasts but potentially anyone. Texas is the most targeted state, making it the world's hotspot for such scams. According to the FBI, over $1.1 billion was stolen from Americans aged 60+ through crypto scams in 2023. Riv notes an increase in young professionals being targeted through sophisticated schemes, often starting on social media or LinkedIn. Lions Gate Network helps trace and recover lost funds by understanding the complexities of crypto exchanges, emphasizing caution and vigilance against offers that seem too good to be true.
Investment scams, including cryptocurrency-related scams, were the number one riskiest scam in 2023, according to the Better Business Bureau.
