According to ChainCatcher news, on-chain analyst ZachXBT disclosed that a social engineering scammer named Ronaldd (real name Ronald Spektor) was accused of impersonating Coinbase customer service to steal $6.5 million from a victim last month.
The incident occurred on October 7, when the victim received a call disguised as Coinbase customer service and was lured to a phishing website, resulting in the theft of funds. On-chain tracking showed that the stolen funds were sent to the eXch platform, exchanged for Litecoin, and dispersed to multiple service platforms.
Just a few days later, Ronaldd was showing off his Ledger Live account displaying $3.1 million received on October 8 via screen sharing on Discord. Further investigation revealed that the TON address associated with his Telegram account showed funding from multiple exchanges and was linked to other Coinbase withdrawal records, further proving the possibility of his involvement in the scam.
