3月5日消息，加拿大警方发布安全警告称，一种针对加密货币诈骗受害者的“追回骗局”正在出现。诈骗分子冒充加拿大皇家骑警（RCMP）或律师机构，声称可以帮助受害者追回此前被盗的数字资产，实则实施二次诈骗。该骗局利用受害者急于追回损失的心理，在加拿大多个地区引发关注。
此次警告源于不列颠哥伦比亚省纳奈莫市的一起案例。一名居民此前因加密货币求职骗局损失约5000加元。受害者在去年年底收到一条推广远程股票交易工作的短信，对方要求其通过ATM机购买并转入加密货币作为“入职流程”。完成付款后，所谓雇主立即失联，资金无法追回。
今年早些时候，该受害者再次收到一条伪装成RCMP公告的信息，鼓励此前遭遇加密诈骗的人提交举报表格。在填写信息后，一名自称律师的男子与其联系，并声称已发现两个与其相关的加密账户，可以协助追回约6万美元的所谓收益。但警方表示，这类信息与RCMP无关，属于典型的虚假追回服务骗局。
纳奈莫RCMP媒体关系官Gary O’Brien强调，警方不会主动联系个人声称已找到加密资产，也不会要求支付任何费用协助追回资金，更不会与私人机构合作提供此类服务。任何要求支付“调查费”“管理费”或“解锁费”的行为都极有可能是诈骗。
区块链安全公司BlockSec联合创始人兼首席执行官Andy Zhou指出，这类骗局正呈现出更加系统化的特征。诈骗团伙往往利用此前诈骗中获取的数据，再次锁定受害者，并冒充律师、调查员或政府合作伙伴，以提高可信度。Zhou表示，诈骗者经常借助执法机构的名称和标识，利用“权威偏见”增强受害者的信任度，从而诱导其继续付款。
此外，一些犯罪组织还会建立虚假的加密资产追回服务网站或广告，声称受害者已被列入政府认可的诈骗名单，并制造“资金即将追回”的紧迫氛围。专家指出，许多受害者在网上搜索如何追回加密资产时，往往会被这些虚假平台再次锁定。
随着数字资产诈骗案件持续增加，加拿大警方自2022年以来不断加强加密货币调查培训，以提升执法人员对区块链交易追踪和相关犯罪模式的识别能力。警方同时提醒公众，在面对加密投资招聘信息或所谓资产追回服务时务必保持警惕，并核实任何自称律师或调查人员的身份。
