International Law Enforcement Operation Seeks to Disrupt Crypto Fraud

[tech30338]

I hope this would help but I still think there is nothing better than educating the people. Prevention is better than cure but the bad side is that some people are not ready to learn until they are scammed. This can not completely eliminate crypto phishing and investment scam but I think it will help to some extent.

What do you think about this?

As far as I know there is no way to completely eliminate fraud or hack in cryptocurrency because that is being tied to real money and when sold or converted they would be definitely getting the equivalent to the preferred fiat they need. In even on our local currencies there are still no way to completely eliminate how people often fall into fraud or becoming a victim or hack around the space. Instead there will be a way to sanitize people and give them proper orientation regarding to their security and they hacker do launch attack or some phishing sites to people to click and become automatically victims of it.

Even if we can't eliminate scams entirely at least some effort and enforcement from government most especially inter governmental relations like this one will help to align most ads with international compliance.


Since one of their core duty is to flag scam cryptocurrency investment scheme like ponzi and other cloud related scams and hacks, this can limit the operation of those scammers, but as we have always Said let wait to see the implementation of this development.

I would say this will at least make the people aware of the situation but the problem is not the authority, its the people who get scam, even though they already know its a scam, they will still continue because they are already blinded by greed, at the same time if the authorities will make things difficult for this scammers by flagging them early it will make them silent or change tactics delaying their scheme, the best way is to block the site once its already been flag make them submit papers to make them legit, if not then they should be arrested.

Where crime prevails and people get to benefit from big in it, don’t just assume those criminals are mere ones. As you’re upping your security system to stop them from earning through this scam methods, they’re also trying to look for ways to better their strategy to disrupt your counter strategy on them. It may end up being a war between them and a challenge to do better and better one’s security system. This I know will further mitigate how these scammers get to benefit from these scams, but I’m convinced enough that it won’t completely eliminate it. Like the OP said, some people will be scammed before they take on preventive measures next time.

Many people are becomes victims to this scammers not only because they are careless or they have less understanding about Bitcoin, but because this scammer upgrade all there knowledge on how to defraud people in other to gain more access to there target audience.
This scammers do also have connections with some top influencial people who will do all they can to protect this scammers because they also get some reasonable percentage of the successful business they do, and won't stop at anything to protect there sour e of income.

As the world advances in technology, fraudsters are also advancing in terms of technology. Nowadays, many people fall prey to fraudsters, basically their traps are so dangerous that when a person enters there, he has to come out of it as a victim of fraud. Fraudsters create targets in such a way that people will fall into the trap, so it is most important to be careful before doing anything nowadays. Fraudsters have the hands of many influential people who get a big percentage of money from them and therefore cooperate with them to make them successful. Fraudsters basically increase their source of income in this way, besides they are very intelligent and knowledgeable, they know very well how to cheat people. That is why every person should work carefully on online platforms and refrain from trusting anyone too much.

If we don't set a loophole for them to use against us, they may never gain access. Major hacking events do happen the moment we fail to understand what is at stake in anything we are doing. We keep on emphasizing that people learn about scams and other security measures that can prevent us from these hackers, but the less people are informed about all the strategies, the better for them to get us caught with their tactics.

[Ojima-ojo]

Managing your own digital assets is far better than handing them over to others without being able to access your assets. This must not happen, such offers usually make profits that are far beyond what is reasonable.

This really good that the law enforcement are stepping up. But also just so you know that if a scammed should love your crypto, you getting it back it fucking impossible.

The police can get hold the scammer but your funds is usually gone forever in most cases. That why protecting it from the first place is the only protecting. Scammers will have no business, once we come to stop chasing all this quick money and all this fake fast promises.

Do well to hold and protect your keys and avoid patronizing random people you don’t know. We can’t wait for our government to come protect our bag. 

There is need for proper consumer reimbursement, because that is the only way the law can be complete, if a scammers get caught and the asset he stole get confiscated, it need to get back to the victims, that is the only way this could become a complete inter governmental relations for cryptocurrency ecosystem.


Just like what we have being reading about binance hacked coins recovery, the good thing is that those stablecoins can easily be freeze and recollected back, so what happened if the scam is in form of an investment scheme.

Hackers and scammers are way smarter than we take them to be they know how to gain access to their victims all they need is to understand the weakness of their targets then they will strike when you least expected them. Scammers are advancing in technology with the help of artificial intelligence they know how to manipulate things to gain access to the computer of people but if people put more effort in creating security awareness scammers will go hungry. People don't need to learn all the strategies of scammers they need to know different security measures to avoid being scammed if they can have good security measures when the scammers wants to attack them they can resist them with the security measures they have.

Loopholes aren’t something that is intentional set or put in place. The only way around this is when a member on a team about the security of certain cryptocurrency services have being compromised. Other than this, loopholes is what these hackers seek to find in other to perpetuate their activities.

In the same way, I don’t think people don’t I understand what’s at stake when they own crypto assets, every one does and knows it ought to be protected but, their are always room for mistakes. People tend to be negligent at times and it always comes at a great cost.

You might be well informed on the various strategies scammers use to source and exploit their victim but, you can only hope they don’t find a means to tell you all the right things you hope to hear.

If they can track those legitimate person which affected by scamming.

But the real situation happening, majority of victims didn't bother to do any action. They just move on and think about this is just a learning experience to them.

That's why government have seize coins and look at US https://www.secretservice.gov/newsroom/releases/2025/06/largest-ever-seizure-funds-related-crypto-confidence-scams

They keep the funds they seize from illegal sites or operations.

Hacking has advanced and this guys use tactics that are difficult to trace. Most victims are as a result of ignorance and greed. This attackers mostly lure victims to things that draws their interest and attention the most. Learning about scam approaches is not a spontaneous action most times its our better understanding of good security measures that helps us detect possible scammers and theft tactics.

On the individual level, not all hacking victims were greedy or ignorant. Some were old and suffering from chronic illness like dementia without any support. This made them to be easy victims for hacks and frauds.
At the institutional level, hacks are the result of negligence from the organization. Hackers are always upping their game, so should these institutions. It really beats my imagination that it only when these exchanges and other organizations are hacked that it serves as a wake up call for these organizations to improve on their security infrastructure. Something they should have done much earlier.

That's why we think of this scammers as doesn't have any soul as they try to victimized senior citizens with chronic illness and close to not function correctly.

They should really pour their resources here. Yes, they have to look at it as sort of investment because if they don't take care of their security, sooner or later hacking groups are going to find out this vulnerabilities and in turn they could lose a lot of money. Instead of investing on their hardened security that might cost them as little as thousands of dollars.

Can't hope anything positive on them, because scammers are heartless.

They don't care if their victim is old or those people struggling in their lives. They see it as opportunity, because they are easy target to catch.

This is the reason why, its good to educate our old people. Also those are not techy enough to know the schemes of scammers. Since frequent awareness about the frauds happening, also their methods used will help them not to fall on any scam attempts.

There are several experiences we have had regarding investments. Various stories about investments usually target Bitcoin. But we can identify some anomalies such as:
1. Promises of unreasonable profits.
2. The company is not transparent.
3. There is no exchange activity.
4. Fund withdrawals are more difficult.
We cannot rely on the government for protection. We must start with ourselves. Because indeed we are the last line of defense that must work maximally to reduce losses.

Operation Atlantic will identify and disrupt these scams in near real-time, denying criminals the ability to further profit from their crimes.”

I hope this would help but I still think there is nothing better than educating the people. Prevention is better than cure but the bad side is that some people are not ready to learn until they are scammed.

It’s a very useful initiative though, I can’t quite figure what would be their model for operation or application in figuring out these scam activities in real time. Given that, these sort of scams do take a private conversation kind of approach and with the various medias being end to end on security on privacy and security, the discrete nature of cryptocurrency transactions before it’s being broadcast or flags are raised, it makes it a little difficult for unsuspecting victims to understand what is going on before it happens.

That’s why, education would have being a best approach but how can you get across to a those who might need this? Especially with the fact that, majority of the victims of romance scams are the elderly, while investment and phishing fraud victims can range through several age grades, as naive as they might be.

[IjawMan]

What do you think about this?

Will the Operation Atlantic stop people that are into   cryptocurrency from being greedy and impatient? I'll say NO.

So, the problem is completely not about the scammers and hackers alone but does has to do with how greedy and impatient people have become presently and can easily fall for the cheapest schemes provided it promises sugarcoat med rewards for fast returns.

The Operation Atlantic campaign should begin with orienting and sensitising the people about the truth that there is "no free money online." Most of your safety online as a person into crypto is on you, your responsibility how you use the internet.

Maybe they can those people, which have long exposure on  crypto.

They cannot stop the new ones to fall from scams and became so greedy. This is the reason why lots of classic scam exist right? Because those methods they used is effective on newbies.

But good to see that there's effort from authorities to disrupt the operations of those scammers. Maybe we cannot feel their actions for now, but if they are so serious and active busting scams. Maybe we can see some good result with their action in future.

The most vulnerable people who are potential victims of scammers are newbies and careless, greedy people. People can be scammed because they are newbies, and lack of necessary knowledge to avoid scams. It's not limited to newbies, because people who have knowledge and experience in cryptocurrency can still be victims of scammers if they obsess characteristics like carelessness and greediness which are very favorite targets of scammers.

Anyway it's good to learn about scams because it can help to minimize risk.

The elderly or retirees are soft targets of scammers. Most of them are not conversant with technology or modern realities, which makes them prone to scams. Some of them are isolated and can be easily manipulated.

Those who are informed are mainly driven by greed and affected by laziness. Some people have been victims of scams several times because they want to get rich quick. Others are too lazy to engage in research. A few minutes with Google could enlighten someone about a project. How would someone tell me that I can mine Bitcoin on my phone if I buy or download an app? This scam can be identified by a simple search, but people still fall for it.

This is a position I have always maintained. Everybody who has been hacked, the hackers exploited something. It can be a human or technical error, but the point is, their Bitcoin won't be hacked from their address if everything was in order.
The same goes for being scammed. Scammers can only take your money when you indulge them. If you don't fall for their pretty lies and tricks, then you will not be scammed. The good thing is, no matter how advanced the tricks get, they are easy to spot. You don't even need to be a tech guru to be able to spot the red flags.
Once you take your security seriously, you won't easily be hacked, and you won't be scammed. That is why I always advised that people should know bitcoin, its basics and security before buying it so that they don't lose their money.

I don't think that phishing link scams are run by organized groups, but rather by amateurs who want to make a dollar by any means possible. So if it were possible to track them, or at least make efforts to do so, I think most of them would stop this scam.

Scam will never end and we can see they are increasing day by day and people are getting scam more than before, there is nothing can be done about the scammers than to protect your wallet and stop them from hacking your wallet and steal your assets, some scammers can be tracked while some can not be tracked because they are also smart people who know what they are doing and how to cover themselves from being tracked.

It will definitely help if they can be tracked but we should also be careful of what we are doing, if anyone don’t want to be scam then we have to be careful with what we are doing, a small mistake can make us lose what we have been working hard for a long time.

The scammers may actually not go away completely, because as we are trying to protecting ourselves from being fall into the victim, the more they are also going through research and identifying more ways of convincing people easily. But the facts is, we all cannot have the same level of knowledge and experiences, as some of us aren't ready to learn while some have knowledge of dictating any suspicious links, that's why at times you don't just click on anyhow links, and thank God for forum, as alots of suspicious activities are being brought here for people to learn and take caution.

Also, we aren't certain on how some recovering stolen asset may be effective, as some are not possible to tracked, but we just have to make preventions our main priority, make use of a trust wallet and hide our seedphrase well in a safe place, some scammers are very smart and intelligent, so we can only make ways harder for them to access by being careful.
