My friend was scammed for over $100k

It happened last month.
They just tried to get me too.
Even though tools and wallets have gotten more sophisticated, so have the scammers.
Fake ledger/cex emails. Scam links that look identical to the real product, fake accounts, people who you thought were your friends.
Today, someone reached out for help working on some engineering stuff for some NFT flow.
Seemed pretty legit. I did my due diligence, everything seemed good.
Had a call with them on gmeet and immediately knew something was off.
The call started and it was a white guy with a beard and complained of connection issues. Most likely AI overlay or some prerecorded video. He had a strange accent and I couldn’t work out what kind it was.
He eventually had to turn off his camera to fix the connection issues and then ran in circles about the help he needed.
I asked him some basic questions about crypto and he struggled to answer them. I could hear other voices in the background as well.
I played along.
The next thing he asked was for me to share my screen and click on a “link to the project details”
Knew at that point it was an attempt for them to social engineer me into clicking that link and likely be phished, keylogged, etc.
I immediately hung up the call and they blocked me almost instantly.
I wrote all of this to warn you that the rats trying to take your crypto are still out there.
Don’t let them take it.
If it’s too good to be true, it is.
Slow down
no one would rush you into doing a crypto related action if it was legit.
Good luck 🤙
