Important Scam Alert

Dear Client,

 

We want to alert you to an active, highly sophisticated scam targeting cryptocurrency holders through physical mail.

 

Fraudsters are mailing official-looking notices—often in subtle, unmarked envelopes—falsely claiming to come from the Department of the Treasury or the IRS. These letters frequently reference a "CP14-432" notice and demand that you register your cryptocurrency holdings and wallet information in a "Digital Asset Compliance Portal" (DACP) by a strict deadline to avoid severe penalties.

 

Please be assured that this letter is 100% a scam.

Here is what you need to know to protect your digital assets:

 

  • The portal does not exist: The IRS does not operate a Digital Asset Compliance Portal, nor do they ever require crypto holders to register private wallets or exchange accounts through an enrollment system.

  • Beware of the QR code: The correspondence includes a QR code designed to trap recipients by directing them to a fake phishing website that closely mimics the official IRS.gov site.

 

What you should do:


If you receive one of these physical letters, do not scan the QR code or visit any links provided. Instead, we highly recommend reporting the scam by forwarding a photo or scan of the notice directly to the IRS at phishing@irs.gov.

 

As your trusted advisors, your security is our priority. If you receive a letter like this or have any concerns about correspondence claiming to be from the IRS, please do not hesitate to send it our way so we can verify it for you.

 

Thank you,

BJ Kane & Co.
