🕵️ Another investigation from #zachxbt . Scammers are increasingly using social engineering to manipulate people into revealing sensitive information. This particular fraudster posed as a Coinbase support agent, leading the victim to lose $6.5 million.
Under the alias Ronald Spector, the scammer contacted the victim from a fake number and tricked them into visiting a phishing website. The stolen funds were then moved to multiple platforms.
"Ronald" deleted several of his social media accounts to hide his tracks, but just days after the theft started flaunting his wealth by sharing a screenshot of his Ledger Live on Discord. Despite many scammers leaving the $TON ecosystem, Ronald continued to use #Telegram actively.
Sadly, the trail goes cold after that, and more than half of the stolen funds remain unaccounted for. This story is a reminder of the risks in the crypto world. ALWAYS double-check messages and never share confidential information unless you’re absolutely certain about the source. Stay alert!
