The United States Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has cautioned Americans about using unlicensed crypto money transmitting services.&nbsp; 
The IC3 issued a <a href="https://www.ic3.gov/Media/Y2024/PSA240425" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" data-wpel-link="external">statement</a> highlighting the legal and financial risks associated with using platforms that evade anti-money laundering regulations and Money Service Business (MSB) registration requirements. 
The FBI recommends checking whether a cryptocurrency service is listed among MSBs supervised by the U.S. Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) to avoid accidental cooperation with unlawful operators.&nbsp; 
This measure is crucial because unregistered services often fail to collect sufficient Know Your Customer (KYC) information. This leaves customers exposed to financial losses, particularly if law enforcement shuts down the platform due to illegal activities. 
Bypassing legal regulations by providing crypto services that are designed to halt unlawful transactions could result in serious punishment.&nbsp; 
For example, the latest FBI investigation targeted the services organizations dealing with large sums of money. This, in turn, led to the seizing of assets from those organizations under the auspicious circumstances of being mixed with the funds acquired illegally. For the FBI, the tactic of selecting reliable services that are registered as measures of avoiding any legal issues or risks is the only alternative.
