The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has issued a public warning about a fraudulent token operating on the Tron blockchain that is impersonating the agency. The scam involves sending messages to users claiming their wallets are "under investigation" and urging them to complete a fake verification process to avoid asset restrictions. Authorities have identified this as a phishing scheme designed to steal sensitive information and have advised users not to interact with such tokens or share personal data. Victims are encouraged to report incidents to the Internet Crime Complaint Center.
In a separate development, the AI-powered security platform DeepSnitch AI (DSNT) is approaching the close of its token presale on March 31. The project, which has raised over $2.33 million, is offering a limited-time bonus code that provides buyers with an extra 30% to 300% in DSNT tokens. The current presale price is $0.04577 per token. The platform markets itself as a tool to evaluate smart contracts for vulnerabilities like bugs and honeypots, aiming to protect investors from scams.
The presale bonus will expire upon the project's Token Generation Event (TGE), after which DSNT is scheduled for a listing on Uniswap. Promotional materials suggest the token's price could see significant growth post-launch, with targets of a 100x or even 200x return, potentially turning a $10,000 investment into millions based on its low market cap at launch.
The article also briefly mentions other cryptocurrencies: Canton (CC) is noted to have declined in price following a network governance update (CIP-0105), and Kaspa (KAS) is highlighted for a recent price rally and subsequent pullback. However, the core focus remains on the FBI scam alert and the DeepSnitch AI presale promotion.
