Australian police: Criminals are abusing the national cybercrime platform to steal funds from encryption Wallets.

PANews, November 13th 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, then impersonating Australian Federal Police officers to call victims and steal their digital assets. This eyewash is highly deceptive, as 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,” informing them that they were involved in a cryptocurrency data leak incident, and also received what appeared to be an official reference number. After seeing a report that matched the one submitted by the scammer, they nearly fell for it. Subsequently, a second caller impersonated the platform, using the same number to induce a transfer. Fortunately, the victim noticed in time and hung up the phone. The police stated that in similar cases, scammers often spoof numbers and remind the public to remain vigilant, recognize eyewash, and protect their assets.
