I WAS SCAMED!!! The most ugly way possible. I have received sms in the same message thread on my phone in which I receive verification codes for authentication. The message said my password was changed and if it was not me I should immediately call customer support. In the sms was also a reference code and a phone number that belonged to my local area. This was the beginning of trust that it was really Binance support center.
After a normal automated voice message that everything is being recorded a person answered and I told him about sms. He asked me by reference code and I told him.
He didn't require any data from me. Just informed that for security reasons it is better to transfer all my assets to an outside wallet and they will then secure my account.
I asked many questions about the process and how to know if they are not scammers. He had answer to everything: "Madam you received sms via Binance security thread." and "Don't worry, this is the normal procedure." - "I can't call you back because only you can call us via the number in your sms."
After one hour I transfered my assets to a TrustWallet that I opened, with my password and seed phrase that I received via sms. So how could I doubted?
I should have listened to my body. I felt pain in my chest, my ears were burning hot and I really had a bad feeling about transfering assets to the wallet. But he was calm, patient and lead me trough the whole process in the way that my mind was convinced everything is ok. He told me I will receive email when the security upgrade of my account will be finished. He said it will take 20-30 min before my account will be active again. And then I can transfer assets back from the wallet to Binance account.
After we finished I called the same number again and someone elese answered. I just asked how long does security upgrade takes and he said 12-24 hours. Then I knew my assets were losts and I was scammed.
Nothing to do since all transactions are finite. I have reported scam on Binance and our local police. 😓

Korean National Police Agency Cracks Down On Investment Reading Room Fraud Via KakaoTalk
The Korean National Police Agency (KNPA) has announced that it will intensify its crackdown on financial crimes that infringe on people’s livelihood, such as ‘investment reading rooms,’ until June 30 this year. Investment reading room fraud is a crime that uses KakaoTalk open chat rooms to spread false investment information to lure victims into investing in stocks or coins and then stealing their investment money.
According to Noodle Capital, there have been frequent scams in investment leading rooms using KakaoTalk public chat rooms, so people should be cautious. The scam involves windbreakers disguising themselves as dozens of people through cannon accounts and multiple access programs, and they are connected to a fake home trading system (HTS) to cheat as if the recommended items are skyrocketing.
The investment reading room scams appear in various types, such as fake HTS, sales of unlisted stocks, sales of crypto assets (market manipulation), and internet loan scams under the name of compensation for losses. The most representative type of scam is the HTS scam, where individuals are asked to pay 50,000 won ($40) for a recent deposit of 100,000 won ($80), saying that a 50% profit has been made in a few days.
After a case of high profits with unlisted stocks is known, false information is provided to sell unlisted stocks or impersonation of an investment company employee to show fake official documents in the name of the Financial Services Commission or Financial Supervisory Service.
A new approach is also emerging where individuals are defrauded by approaching them in the name of ‘loss compensation’ and receiving personal information such as identification cards, saying that they will give crypto assets free of charge as compensation, and then receiving internet loans in the name of the victims.
An official from Noodle Capital advised people to be cautious when someone they do not know recommends investing with a guarantee of principal and high returns. They should always check with the financial authorities.
The KNPA has emphasized that they will be cracking down on these crimes, which infringe on people’s livelihoods, and have urged people to report any suspicious activities to the police. The public is advised to be cautious and vigilant against these types of fraud and to seek the help of the authorities if they have been a victim of investment reading room fraud.

🚨 URGENT: New Android Malware "SpyAgent" Steals Crypto Keys from Screenshots!
In a shocking discovery by McAfee, a new Android malware called SpyAgent is now targeting crypto users by stealing private keys directly from screenshots and images stored on smartphones. Using Optical Character Recognition (OCR) tech, the malware can scan images on your device, extract sensitive text, and compromise your funds.
The attack begins when victims unknowingly click on malicious links—often disguised as trustworthy apps like banking services, government apps, or streaming platforms. Once installed, SpyAgent requests access to contacts, messages, and storage, gaining full control of your phone.
McAfee found over 280 fraudulent apps distributing SpyAgent, mainly targeting South Korean users. The impact could expand globally, making everyone a potential target.
This follows a series of rising malware attacks in 2024, including Cthulhu Stealer on MacOS and a Chrome vulnerability exploited by North Korean hackers, which further emphasize the escalating threat to crypto holders.
Stay Safe! Always verify links before downloading, avoid granting suspicious permissions, and consider using cold storage or hardware wallets for storing private keys.
The FBI has also issued warnings regarding these well-disguised attacks from North Korean groups, highlighting the crypto industry's vulnerability to such threats.
Protect your assets! Be alert and take preventive measures!

What is Scam? How Can You Protect Yourself From Crypto Giveaway Scams
In the dynamic world of cryptocurrencies, the allure of a sudden windfall can sometimes lead to treacherous waters. Crypto giveaway scams have emerged as crafty schemes, capitalizing on people's desire for easy gains. Here's a comprehensive overview to help you stay secure:
What Are Crypto Giveaway Scams?
Crypto giveaway scams are fraudulent ploys where scammers promise substantial cryptocurrency rewards in exchange for a smaller sum or personal information. These scams exploit the prospect of 'free money' to deceive unsuspecting individuals.
How Do Crypto Giveaway Scams Operate?
1. Crafting Bogus Online Identities: Scammers create phony social media profiles, often impersonating prominent figures in the crypto realm or even famous personalities. These fake accounts are then exploited to disseminate misinformation about a supposed giveaway.
2. Unveiling the Phony Giveaway: Once the counterfeit account is established, scammers post about a fabricated giveaway, frequently claiming it supports a charitable cause or marks a significant milestone.
3. Demanding Crypto or Personal Data: In their ruse, scammers insist that participants must send a nominal amount of cryptocurrency to confirm their eligibility for the giveaway or provide personal details. Regrettably, any cryptocurrency sent is promptly pilfered, while personal data might be used for identity theft.
Real-Life Instances
1. The Elon Musk Pretense: Impersonating Elon Musk is a favorite tactic among scammers, particularly on platforms like Twitter, where sham Bitcoin or Ethereum giveaways are proclaimed.
2. YouTube Livestreams: Fraudsters have cunningly commandeered prominent YouTube channels or concocted new ones to air fabricated crypto events, peddling counterfeit giveaways.
3. Direct Messaging Deception: Some users have encountered direct messages on platforms like Discord or Telegram, wherein they are enticed with promises of crypto rewards in exchange for a modest verification fee.
Steering Clear of Crypto Giveaway Scams
1. Authenticate Giveaway Channels: Before partaking, conduct thorough checks with official sources. Verified accounts on platforms like Twitter exhibit a blue badge adjacent to the account name.
2. Be Wary of Outlandish Offers: Authentic giveaways rarely, if ever, require you to expend money to acquire funds.
3. Safeguard Confidential Information: Safeguard your private keys, passwords, and personal information at all costs. Always approach unsolicited appeals for financial or personal data with skepticism.
In the labyrinthine realm of cryptocurrencies, awareness and vigilance are your greatest allies. Educate yourself, stay informed, and remember that any promise of 'free money' warrants thorough scrutiny. Your security in the crypto universe lies in your hands.
