.....there is currently a cryptocurrency scam going on right now. I got taken for a good chunk of change.

This scam is navigated through a text on your phone. Someone posed as a representative from my crypto platform saying that my account was attempted to be hacked.

These thieves are very convincing. I called the number and was told that two attempts to hack my account from Singapore and I did receive to alerts. The first I ignored. As part of the scam they advised me to use an offline account to store my crypto which I have considered in the past. Again.....these guys are extremely convincing. He had me go to an secure very legitimate crypto offline wallet....one that I have considered using. After creating the wallet he help me transfer my crypto and watched as the transaction completed. I checked the wallet this morning as my balance was $0.00

Dastardly. Any questions ask em here.

For sure Mindless. I am typically pretty good at weeding these buckets out but they were very good at what they do......very convincing and conclusive.

Unfortunately they are gonna get many more.

Also as AI is getting to become a part of many scams it sure does become even more real and convincing.

I saw that in a cybersecurity channel on LinkedIn that I follow. This is happening everywhere and Javascript is the language that underpins crypto. As this is a major package, it's spread into non-crypto applications too and it will take a good while to propagate the fixed packages through so there's still risks.
