Crypto scams are active ahead of the 2026 World Cup, as the FBI reveals domain hijacking and AI phishing tactics
U.S. law enforcement agencies warn that before the start of the 2026 World Cup, scams are intensifying. The tactics include fake tickets/impersonating official pages, AI phishing, domain squatting, and stealing funds using payment methods that are difficult to reverse, such as cryptocurrency. They advise buying tickets only through FIFA’s official channels to avoid links in social media/messages/texts. If you fall victim to a scam, contact law enforcement and financial institutions, and file a report with IC3.
