🚩Security Alert: Beware of the withdrawal verification code scam

The Information Security Director of SlowMist, known as @im23pds, has issued a warning about a 'withdrawal verification code' scam, urging people to avoid phishing traps.

Victims have reported receiving text messages from a trading platform stating: 'Your verification code is 819121 for the withdrawal. If you did not request this code, call 0330 027 1814 to contact us.' Upon calling the number, victims encounter a sophisticated scam where the caller claims that there is a security error and promises to notify other cryptocurrency verification companies to implement security restrictions, ensuring a quick investigation and callback.

Shortly after, victims receive a call from someone posing as a 'Ledger' representative, who claims that there are security issues and offers professional assistance.

The caller then guides victims to visit a phishing website, resulting in a loss of 1.1 million dollars.
