On July 3, the U.S. Department of Justice announced on Wednesday that a Nigeria fraudster successfully defrauded a donor of US$250,000 in cryptocurrency by impersonating Steve Witkoff, co-chairman of the Trump-Vance Inaugural Committee. It is reported that the fraudster sent an email on December 24, 2024, using a clever domain name fraud method-replacing the lowercase letter "i" in the official mailbox "@ t47inaugural.com" with the lowercase letter "l" with almost the same appearance to form "@ t47lnaugural.com." The victim believed it and transferred 250,300 Ethereum version of USDT stablecoins to the crypto wallet controlled by the fraudster on December 26. The FBI successfully recovered 40,300 USDT through blockchain transaction tracking and with the assistance of Tether Company. These funds are currently undergoing civil forfeiture procedures to compensate victims. Experts warn that as acceptance of cryptocurrencies increases in the political arena, such scams against crypto-donations may increase, and AI and deep counterfeiting technologies will further amplify the scale and complexity of fraud activities.
