According to ZachXBT, the alleged scammer duped users by claiming to be Coinbase support on Telegram. A leaked video shows the scammer offering fake help while collecting sensitive data.

Despite attempts to hide his tracks—purchasing expensive usernames and deleting old accounts—the scammer’s social media boasting made it possible to trace transactions and lifestyle details. Authorities warn that social engineering exploits trust, not technical skill, to steal crypto.
