RippleX Issues New Scam Alert to #XRP Holders. The message comes amid a surge in deepfake scams targeting unsuspecting XRP community members. Scammers often leverage artificial intelligence to create sophisticated videos impersonating Ripple executives, specifically CEO Brad Garlinghouse, in an effort to deceive investors. These fraudulent videos often feature scammers pretending to offer $XRP giveaways in exchange for small deposits of the token. In many cases, they urge viewers to send funds to a specific wallet address with the false promise of receiving double the amount sent. Such AI-generated videos are often posted in the comment sections of posts from Ripple’s official accounts or those of its executives, giving them a misleading appearance of legitimacy. In its latest advisory, RippleX emphasized that no Ripple employee will ever ask users to send funds, participate in investment schemes, or share wallet information such as seed phrases. Moreover, RippleX urged the community to verify all information through Ripple’s official accounts on X, specifically RippleX and RippleXDev, before taking any action relating to giveaways. The message concluded with a stern reminder, telling users to “Keep your XRP yours,” urging holders to safeguard their tokens. Scammers have long targeted the XRP community with deceptive giveaway campaigns. However, the trend accelerated in mid-2023 following Ripple’s partial legal victory against the U.S. SEC.
