Scammers impersonate crypto compliance services to drain user wallets

The fraud works by getting victims to approve transactions that could put their assets at risk.

Scammers are impersonating crypto compliance services, using fake ads and landing pages to trick users into approving harmful transactions, according to Decrypt.

The outlet says the impersonators are presenting themselves as legitimate crypto AML or compliance checkers, but the intent is to move users' assets out of their wallets.
