Honestly, it's astonishing how these people never rest, and even more astonishing is how much money they sometimes make. "I've been thinking that maybe that's the path to follow." ๐Ÿ˜…

Joking aside, the criminal world of this type is undoubtedly amazing.

Context:

I had problems with my ZEUS wallet, so I decided to write in the Telegram help group, looking for assistance from users or some of the administrators.

After that, as usual, two people contacted me pretending to be administrators.

Once they contacted me, I compared the profiles of those who contacted me with the profiles in the official ZEUS group. In this case, the @DarthCoin profile and the @mixmaster profile, since supposedly they were the ones contacting me.

I immediately realized they were impersonators when I looked at their profiles, in addition to the obvious fact that they had contacted me directly and not through the official group.

So I decided to play along to see what they were trying to do... Or rather, what they wanted me to do.

Another detail I noticed is that one of the accounts had the option enabled to prevent screenshots. Obviously, there's a reason for hiding it.

In the end, it was late, and I decided to go to sleep and not waste any more time with those scammers, who ultimately wouldn't help me solve my problem.

Conclusion: Scammers never sleep, never rest, and are constantly on the prowl.

Stay safe, don't trust, always verify, and of course, never accept help from supposed administrators who contact you directly.

And never pipe a script you didn't write into bash.

Nothing good ever happens after asking for help on Telegram.

As usual, itโ€™s best to know the golden rules of avoiding scams

  • Donโ€™t click on untrusted links.
  • In email, check the email address.
  • In cryptocurrency specifically, nobody should be pressuring you for your seed phrase or other wallet access information. Same goes for Nostr, nobody should be pressuring you for your nsec.
