高層表示，加密貨幣交易所需要比以往更加警惕，主動聯繫客戶以防止他們遭受詐騙

Independent Reserve 執行長 Adrian Przelozny 在接受 Cointelegraph 採訪時表示：“如果我們看到一位 80 歲的老人提取加密貨幣，他們就會接到電話。”

Crypto exchanges should proactively contact customers to warn them about potential scams, especially those who may be more vulnerable to fraud, a crypto exchange executive has said.

一位加密貨幣交易所高層表示，加密貨幣交易所應主動聯繫客戶，警告他們潛在的詐騙，特別是那些可能更容易受到詐騙的人。

“If we see an 80-year-old making a crypto withdrawal, they are going to get a call,” Independent Reserve CEO Adrian Przelozny said in an interview with Cointelegraph.

Independent Reserve 執行長 Adrian Przelozny 在接受 Cointelegraph 採訪時表示：“如果我們看到一位 80 歲的老人提取加密貨幣，他們就會接到電話。”

According to Przelozny, people over 65 who are involved in crypto have a higher chance of being scammed. He said this is likely due to them being less familiar with the internet and technology.

Przelozny 表示，65 歲以上參與加密貨幣的人被騙的可能性更高。他表示，這可能是因為他們對網路和科技不太熟悉。

Meanwhile, in the United Kingdom, it seems that younger customers are more likely to get scammed.

同時，在英國，年輕顧客似乎更有可能被騙。

In November 2023, Lloyds Bank claimed that individuals aged 25–34 constitute a quarter of all crypto scam victims, making it the most prevalent age group affected in the UK.

2023 年 11 月，勞埃德銀行聲稱 25 至 34 歲的個人佔所有加密貨幣詐騙受害者的四分之一，使其成為英國受影響最普遍的年齡層。

Independent Reserve has a dedicated compliance department that “rings people all day” if they notice suspicious activity, to warn them they might be potential scam victims, Przelozny explained.

普澤洛茲尼解釋說，獨立保護區有一個專門的合規部門，如果人們發現可疑活動，該部門會“全天打電話給人們”，警告他們可能是潛在的詐騙受害者。

Usually, the person’s activity will resemble that of someone who has been scammed before, like making "many small deposits" or "many small withdrawals."

通常，該人的活動類似於以前被騙過的人，例如進行“許多小額存款”或“許多小額存款”。

Being highly trained at asking the “right questions,” usually “things begin to click” for customers and they realize the scheme “may be too good to be true.” However, this is not always the case.

在提出“正確問題”方面接受過嚴格訓練，通常對客戶來說“事情開始變得順利”，他們意識到該計劃“可能好得令人難以置信”。然而，情況並非總是如此。

Przelozny said that sometimes victims are so excited about the scheme they've been sold that they don’t even realize it’s a scam.

普澤洛茲尼說，有時受害者對他們出售的計畫感到非常興奮，甚至沒有意識到這是一個騙局。

“People can get really defensive, before they realize they are getting scammed, they may think they are on a really good opportunity to make money,” he explained.

「人們可能會變得非常防禦，在他們意識到自己被騙之前，他們可能會認為自己有一個很好的賺錢機會，」他解釋道。

However, Przelozny said that if the compliance team is confident a customer is likely being scammed based on the available data, they won’t wait for the customer to realize it too, as it might be too late by then.

然而，Przelozny 表示，如果合規團隊根據現有數據確信客戶可能被騙，他們不會等到客戶也意識到這一點，因為那時可能為時已晚。

“If our team is quite sure they are being scammed, even if they [customers] don't think they are, we won't allow them to make a crypto withdrawal. We will close down their account and ask them to withdraw all their money back into their actual account,” he claimed.

「如果我們的團隊非常確定他們被騙了，即使他們（客戶）不認為自己被騙了，我們也不會允許他們進行加密貨幣提款。我們將關閉他們的帳戶，並要求他們將所有資金提取回他們的實際帳戶，」他聲稱。

Przelozny also pointed out that people from lower-income areas are more likely to fall victim to crypto scams.

Przelozny 也指出，來自低收入地區的人們更有可能成為加密貨幣詐騙的受害者。

“Maybe you’re more likely to jump at an opportunity to make easy money because you don’t have as much of it,” Przelozny stated.

「也許你更有可能抓住一個輕鬆賺錢的機會，因為你沒有那麼多錢，」普澤洛茲尼說。

He admitted that while there might be a few rare cases where someone is wrongly flagged as being scammed, those situations are rare and worth it for the “greater good.”

他承認，雖然可能會出現一些罕見的情況，有人被錯誤地標記為被騙，但這種情況很少見，而且為了「更大的利益」是值得的。

On Aug. 28, the Australian federal police (AFP) revealed that a total of $269 million ($382 million AUD) had been lost to investment scams over the last year, with around 47% of them being crypto-related.

8 月 28 日，澳洲聯邦警察 (AFP) 透露，去年因投資詐騙損失總計 2.69 億美元（3.82 億澳元），其中約 47% 與加密貨幣相關。

The methods used relied primarily on modern technology, with pig butchering and deepfakes being the two most common types of scams found by the AFP.

所使用的方法主要依賴現代技術，屠宰生豬和深度造假是法新社發現的兩種最常見的詐騙類型。

“Scammers promise high returns with little risk, using convincing marketing and new technology to make the investment sound too good to miss,” AFP Assistant Commissioner Richard Chin said.

法新社助理局長理查德·欽 (Richard Chin) 表示：“騙子承諾高回報、低風險，利用令人信服的營銷和新技術，讓投資聽起來好得不容錯過。”
