The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is alerting crypto owners about online romance scams that have cost investors over $133,400,000 in the first seven months of 2021 alone.
Between January 1 and July 31, more than 1,800 people reported being defrauded by fake romantic partners claiming to be knowledgeable about crypto investing in order to get victims to send them digital assets, according to an FBI public service announcement.
