高管表示，加密货币交易所需要比以往更加警惕，主动联系客户以防止他们遭受诈骗

Independent Reserve 首席执行官阿德里安·普泽洛兹尼 (Adrian Przelozny) 在接受 Cointelegraph 采访时表示：“如果我们看到一位 80 岁的老人提取加密货币，他们就会接到电话。”

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.

一位加密货币交易所高管表示，加密货币交易所应主动联系客户，警告他们潜在的诈骗，特别是那些可能更容易受到欺诈的人。

“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 首席执行官阿德里安·普泽洛兹尼 (Adrian Przelozny) 在接受 Cointelegraph 采访时表示：“如果我们看到一位 80 岁的老人提取加密货币，他们就会接到电话。”

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 岁以上参与加密货币的人被骗的可能性更高。他表示，这可能是因为他们对互联网和技术不太熟悉。

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

与此同时，在英国，年轻顾客似乎更有可能被骗。

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，劳埃德银行声称 25 至 34 岁的个人占所有加密货币诈骗受害者的四分之一，使其成为英国受影响最普遍的年龄组。

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.

普泽洛兹尼解释说，独立保护区有一个专门的合规部门，如果人们发现可疑活动，该部门会“全天给人们打电话”，警告他们可能是潜在的诈骗受害者。

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，此人的活动类似于以前被骗过的人，例如进行“许多小额存款”或“许多小额取款”。

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“正确问题”方面接受过严格训练，通常对客户来说“事情开始变得顺利”，他们意识到该计划“可能好得令人难以置信”。然而，情况并非总是如此。

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.

普泽洛兹尼说，有时受害者对他们出售的计划非常兴奋，甚至没有意识到这是一个骗局。

“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.

“人们可能会变得非常防御，在他们意识到自己被骗之前，他们可能会认为自己有一个很好的赚钱机会，”他解释道。

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，如果合规团队根据现有数据确信客户可能被骗，他们不会等到客户也意识到这一点，因为那时可能为时已晚。

“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.

“如果我们的团队非常确定他们被骗了，即使他们（客户）不认为自己被骗了，我们也不会允许他们进行加密货币提款。我们将关闭他们的账户，并要求他们将所有资金提取回他们的实际账户，”他声称。

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

Przelozny 还指出，来自低收入地区的人们更有可能成为加密货币诈骗的受害者。

“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.

“也许你更有可能抓住一个轻松赚钱的机会，因为你没有那么多钱，”普泽洛兹尼说。

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.”

他承认，虽然可能会出现一些罕见的情况，有人被错误地标记为被骗，但这种情况很少见，而且为了“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，澳大利亚联邦警察 (AFP) 透露，去年因投资诈骗损失总计 2.69 亿美元（3.82 亿澳元），其中约 47% 与加密货币相关。

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赖于现代技术，屠宰生猪和深度造假是法新社发现的两种最常见的诈骗类型。

“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.

法新社助理局长理查德·钦 (Richard Chin) 表示：“骗子承诺高回报、低风险，利用令人信服的营销和新技术，让投资听起来好得不容错过。”
