A quick #warning:

There is a new #spammer or #scammer @katie444@diaspora-fr.org

Never had any interactions with her/him, nonetheless she/he followed me, (which wouldn't be bad in itself...), but tonight when I got home, (finally off work 🤩), I had the following #PM from her/him:

My name is Katie Claypoole from the USA. I have something important I want to talk to you about. Contact me through my private email katie.claypoole@yahoo.com for more details.

So you know, just wanted to warn you.

I will of course #block her and #report her.

**Have a nice #evening!

U.S. #Drug Enforcement Administration sends over $50,000 to a #scammer

Someone observed the #DEA wallet send a small test transaction before transferring the remaining seized funds, and quickly used a crypto wallet address with identical characters at the beginning and end to send an airdrop to the DEA source wallet. When the DEA agent went to send the remaining funds, they copied-and-pasted the address, believing it was the same one they'd sent the test transaction to. This is a common scam in the crypto world known as "address poisoning", and is successful primarily because crypto wallet addresses are very long strings of characters that people usually copy-and-paste, and only identify by the characters at the start and end.

#Romance #scammers’ favorite lies exposed

Source: https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/data-visualizations/data-spotlight/2023/02/romance-scammers-favorite-lies-exposed

You may have heard about romance scammers who tell you they’re sick, hurt, or in jail – or give you another fake reason to send them money. But did you know that many romance scammers operate by offering to do you a favor? They may claim to be a successful #cryptocurrency investor who’ll teach you how it’s done. But any money you “invest” goes straight into their wallet. In another twist, they might say they’ve shipped you a valuable package (not true), which requires you to send money for “customs” or some other made-up fee. It’s all a lie. You send the money, and the package never turns up.
