RE: ALERT! Elaborate EOS Airdrop SCAM!
Seems like an attempt at spear phishing. Which essentially is a form of regular phishing (creating a fake scammer ran site mimicking an official one to steal information) but, is targeted to a specific person or group of people. You might want to spend some time to think about where your address could have been compromised.
If you could post the email address that would be of great help also! Either way good find and thanks for posting, you just might have saved someone A LOT of cryptocurrency.
Yep, I agree. Familiar with spear phishing as well. And hope this helped others too!
Thing is, I got this through Telegram not email. It came up as a notification on my phone. Source looks like it's been deleted but I'll keep looking.
I would assume if this was just spamming Telegram users there would be more information about it online. So far, I've only seen a couple of --short--Reddit posts about it.
I'll keep checking though. If I find anything, I'll post an update!
