These scams included fake Bitcoin mining schemes, fraudulent crypto gaming schemes, fake job offers requiring victims to transfer crypto, and private information theft through fake airdrops. Additionally, the DFPI shut down over 26 fraudulent crypto websites and uncovered $4.6 million in user losses last year.
