⚡️🚨 SCAM – Attempted Fraud

Every month, I receive these types of calls from people posing as support staff for various companies. I immediately recognize that it is a scam and end the call.

However, these calls are becoming increasingly frequent, and I believe it is in the public interest to raise awareness.

Here, a man recorded one of these calls. I find this recording very interesting because it helps us understand their manipulation techniques and how they get their victims to give them their money.

During this call, the scammers are posing as Binance and Ledger.

A first person (female voice) launches the scam. She claims to have detected several suspicious connections from an IP address located in London.

She then announces: "No funds have been moved, as long as we stay on the line together, all operations are suspended."

➥ The goal is to create a sense of urgency.

Next, she gains the victim's trust by using vocabulary and phrases typical of crypto security: "A security agent will never ask you for your password, login details, or 24-word recovery phrase."

Then, she hands over to a supposed "Binance cybersecurity agent."

"Do you have your Ledger with you? Can you authenticate yourself?"

The scammer then guides the victim step by step through the installation of a Trust Wallet, under the pretext of "securing their funds."

In reality, they are leading them to create a wallet whose seed they themselves know.

"You should have received an email with your 12 keywords. Copy them and paste them into the Trust Wallet app."

The victim plays along and leads them to believe that they are sending more than 7 bitcoins to this wallet.

When they reveal that they knew from the start that it was a scam, the scammer's response is chilling: "That's how you become a millionaire."

Some parts of the call, as well as some lengthy sections, have been edited out of the video. The original call lasted over 25 minutes.

⚠️ IMPORTANT REMINDER

Binance and Ledger will NEVER contact you by phone or WhatsApp. Be extremely cautious of emails and fake support requests. In “crypto“, the basic rule is to be wary of everything.

There is no red.

There is no blue.

There is the State.

And there is you.
