In 2024, the California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation (DFPI) intensified efforts against cryptocurrency scams, identifying 26 fraudulent websites responsible for $4.6 million in consumer losses within the state. The DFPI's Crypto Scam Tracker highlighted seven emerging scam types, including fake Bitcoin mining operations, crypto job scams, and AI investment frauds. These schemes often exploit current technological trends to deceive investors. Additionally, the U.S. Department of Justice dismantled 42 international scam sites linked to $6.5 million in losses. A notable tactic, "pig butchering," involves scammers building trust over time before defrauding victims. Consumers are advised to remain vigilant, verify platform legitimacy, and report suspicious activities to authorities.
