Scammers want to take us back to era of impersonation. This past week I come across a lot of complain where scammers impersonate a legit figure to scam victims in other media platforms and this forum too. I read this thread
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5565650.0 by AB de Royse777 reporting and raising alarm of impersonation. Under same thread I discovered a lot of reputable campaign managers being impersonated and their clients falling for this trick.
Due to my account status, I can not post pictures for better illustrations. There are many ways scammers impersonate reputable figures without you noticing unless you're extra careful. Take a look at this examples:
maybank2u.com citibank.com
maybαnk2u.com citibαnk.com
These two sites are not the same but they look very similar that average Internet user can easily fall for this. If you look carefully you will notice the slight difference. The first sites is correct but the second ones is from hackers and scammers. Vod reported under that same thread he messaged Hampuz instead of the actual Hhampuz.
Please be extra careful when interacting with any person or platform especially if it involves clicking on a link. Do not just rely on the pronunciation, you'll hardly notice the difference by mere pronunciation in your head, check the spelling properly and observe the font style of the text.
