LinkedIn Impersonation: A Growing Threat
Yi He’s identity has been hijacked by fraudsters, who have crafted convincing LinkedIn profiles to trap their targets. These impostors promise potential victims token listings on Binance for hefty payments.
According to Coin Telegraph, Yi He has clarified her minimal involvement with LinkedIn and her complete detachment from listing negotiations. She urges caution and vigilance against individuals peddling false insider connections.
Anndy Lian’s Exposes WhatsApp Scams
Adding to the concern, Anndy Lian has shed light on a parallel scam operating through WhatsApp. Here, scammers masquerade as Binance personnel, enticing individuals to join cryptocurrency groups with promises of easy passive income.
In response, Binance has categorically stated that no such groups operate under its auspices. The exchange stresses the importance of verifying the legitimacy of any unsolicited offers.
Binance’s Commitment to Security and Vigilance
In light of these deceptive practices, Binance’s customer support has issued guidelines to safeguard users. They advise verifying the authenticity of any purported Binance-affiliated contact through official links provided on the exchange’s website.
While exchange token listing scams are not novel, their resurgence amidst the recent crypto market upswing underscores the need for heightened vigilance. These scams often commence with polished LinkedIn profiles reaching out to project developers, dangling the allure of token listings in exchange for substantial deposits. However, these promises invariably lead to financial losses as the anticipated listings fail to materialize.
Binance’s alert serves as a crucial reminder to exercise caution and diligence in navigating the increasingly complex landscape of cryptocurrency.
