According to CoinMeta, the US Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has issued a warning that counterfeit cryptocurrency emails are being used to commit fraud against wallets and personal data. These scammers send forged notifications, directing cryptocurrency holders to visit a fake compliance portal with the aim of capturing sensitive financial information. This activity targets wallet access, exchange credentials, identities, and digital assets through emails that appear to be official. The counterfeit emails take advantage of the growing concern regarding cryptocurrency taxation.
