FBI Warns Crypto Users of Fake Tron Token Impersonating the Agency
March 21, 2026 — The Federal Bureau of Investigation has issued a public warning about a fraudulent token circulating on the Tron blockchain network. The alert, posted by the FBI’s New York office, cautions users against a scam that misuses the FBI’s name to appear legitimate.
The FBI stated that the token is not an official issuance and is instead a deceptive tactic to exploit cryptocurrency holders. According to the warning, scammers are distributing these fake tokens and luring victims to malicious websites.
On these sites, individuals may be tricked into submitting sensitive personal data or connecting their crypto wallets, potentially leading to the theft of funds. The bureau’s notice aims to protect users from inadvertently compromising their information or assets.
The FBI emphasized that the token is part of a scheme designed to gain trust by falsely claiming association with the federal agency. The warning serves as a reminder for crypto users to exercise extreme caution and verify the authenticity of any token or communication purporting to be from a government body.
