The Australian Federal Police (AFP) has commenced a global investigation into crypto scams impersonating Binance, targeting Australian investors.
Scammers pose as Binance representatives via SMS and messaging apps, creating a sense of urgency and tricking victims into transferring their funds to a 'trust wallet' controlled by the scammers.
Australian authorities have launched Operation Firestorm to dismantle the organizations involved in these scams, collaborating with the National Anti-Scam Centre (NASC) and international law enforcement agencies.
Binance is committed to user education and security, planning to launch a new security feature to help users identify phishing scams.
