ZachXBT reveals that scammers impersonating Coinbase customer service are suspected of stealing $6.5 million

According to blockchain analyst ZachXBT, a social engineering fraudster named Ronald (real identity Ronald Spektor) is accused of stealing $6.5 million from a victim last month by impersonating Coinbase customer service. The incident occurred on October 7th, when the victim received a phone call disguised as Coinbase customer service and was induced to visit a phishing website, resulting in the theft of funds. On chain tracking shows that the stolen funds flowed to the eXch platform and were exchanged for Litecoin, which was then dispersed across multiple service platforms. Just a few days later, Ronaldo boasted on Discord through screen sharing that his Ledger Live account showed $3.1 million received on October 8th. Further investigation revealed that the TON address associated with his Telegram account showed that the funds came from multiple exchanges and were linked to other Coinbase withdrawal records, further proving the possibility of his involvement in this fraud.
