Attention, savers and crypto-users in Argentina! SCAMS 🚨 are being REPORTED at the famous "cuevas" 🏦 where dollars 💵 and cryptocurrencies ₿ are informally bought. These places, so popular due to currency restrictions 🔄, are now in the sights of criminals! 😠
Digital security specialist Pablo Sabbatella 🗣️ raised the ALARM 📢 on X. According to him, a duo of SCAMMERS 😈 has been operating for months. What is their MODUS OPERANDI? 🤔 They approach car dealerships 🚗 or real estate agencies 🏢 saying they want to buy LARGE amounts of USDT (up to $150,000! 🤯) with cash dollars 💸.
These companies, wanting to please their clients 😉, RECOMMEND them to their "trusted cave" 🤦♂️! The SCAMMERS 🎭 contact these caves as "referrals" and, under the pretext that they previously tried to deceive them 🤥, they REQUEST a VIDEO CALL to "verify" the USDT in the wallet! 📱
Here is the TRICK! 🧙♂️ Sabbatella warns that most "cuevas" in Buenos Aires use the Tron network and the Trust Wallet 📱, a DANGEROUS PRACTICE! ⚠️ This wallet has an INTERNAL BROWSER 🌐, and scammers GUIDE the victim to open a MALICIOUS WEB site 😈: "https://usdt. report".
Once on the WEB page 🕸️, they ask you to perform a "funds verification" 🤦♀️! This implies ACCEPTING an "allowance" 🔑, which gives PERMISSION to an EXTERNAL ADDRESS to ACCESS the funds! 💸 In SECONDS ⏱️, the wallet is EMPTY! 💀
Sabbatella's KEY RECOMMENDATIONS 🔑: DO NOT USE Trust Wallet for LARGE amounts of #USDT ! 🙅♂️ There are SAFER wallets, like HARDWARE WALLETS 🔒! And NEVER, EVER! 🚫 grant access permissions to UNKNOWN addresses 👽. ALWAYS research the people involved! 🕵️♂️ Stay SAFE! 💪
