It all began innocently on December 22, when a message popped up on my WhatsApp from +44 73xx xxxxxx, claiming to be Annalisa from a company named RXXXX (exact name hidden). Intrigued, I engaged in conversation about a potential job opportunity.
As the discussion unfolded, Annalisa shared details about RXXXX, an international e-commerce marketing company, offering a seemingly lucrative freelance position. Skepticism started creeping in, but I decided to play along, asking for more information to study at my own pace.
The scam artist persisted, explaining the job involved daily tasks, promising commissions, and a salary paid in stablecoins. Alarms rang louder as Annalisa urged me to register on their workbench website, providing a link to rxxxxvip.world, and an invitation code.
Feeling uneasy, I decided to dig deeper, revealing the questionable legitimacy of the website with a low rating on Scamadviser. With a sense of accomplishment and relief, I confronted the scammer with this information, abruptly ending our interaction.
To conclude, I think the main objective of this so-called Annalisa was to urge me to click on this link. If you have been in the crypto space for a long time like me, you probably know what can happen if you click on the wrong link.
In summary: Beware of the scams!
