## Resource

Scammers are staging terrifying “digital arrests” via video calls, impersonating cops with deepfakes and fake IDs to scare victims into paying crypto fines. With 32,000 FBI complaints and $800M lost last year, these fear-based scams are exploding — and banks are being warned to spot panic, rushed transactions, or isolation tactics as red flags. Never pay a stranger claiming to be law enforcement — real cops don’t demand crypto or silence you. Verify. Don’t panic.
