The FBI has issued a warning about criminals who are taking over social media accounts and pretending to be legitimate individuals in the non-fungible token and cryptocurrency space. They have also expressed concerns about fake websites that deceive victims into thinking they are using legitimate platforms in order to steal their NFTs and cryptocurrencies.

The number of victims falling for these types of scams is increasing, with recent examples including a phishing link tweeted from Uniswap founder Hayden Adams' Twitter account by hackers. The FBI has advised people to be cautious of "criminal actors posing as legitimate NFT developers in financial fraud schemes targeting active users within the NFT community" and to research and verify any opportunities before clicking on links.
