AI‑driven crypto fraud is surging, as illustrated by the heartbreaking case of 73‑year‑old Kyle Holder, who was coaxed by scammers posing as a friendly “Niamh” on WhatsApp into opening crypto wallets and transferring nearly $300,000 to 14 scam wallets. Using sophisticated AI tools and dark‑web data, the perpetrators manipulated her over several months, then mixed her funds with those of other victims before off‑ramping millions of dollars through cryptocurrency exchanges, making the money nearly impossible to trace. IRS criminal investigators say this is part of a broader wave that stole an estimated $20 billion in 2025—over half in crypto—and urge anyone targeted to verify communications, act cautiously, and report scams promptly via their new tip line.
