If your online accounts are like mine, almost every day I’m “force joined” to a new Telegram group where a crypto investment scammer tries to tell everyone how great their scam investment site is. This week, I started getting added to WhatsApp Crypto Investment Scams.
I thought I’d share the experience with you, in case you were curious.
When you are Force-joined to a WhatsApp group, the first thing that is displayed is information about who added you to the group.
In my case, +856 20 29 725 893 created the group, and then I was added to the group by +856 20 29 728 289. The +856 should be a clue to whether these are the advisors they claim to be, as +856 is the international calling code for Laos. A third Laos number then removes the group creator, another Laos administrator, and a South African adminstrator (+27 is South Africa). They must have added a US-numbered administrator, (we don’t see other people being added), because the +1 (346) number then changed the “Subject” of the group to be “BTC Nuggets 02th Team.” 02th. As in, the Second team created by a non-English speaker. 1st … 02th … 3rd?
Then we get our first message from “Tricia Storti” our second theoretically American admin +1 (530), American. See? (530 is the Area Code for extreme NorthEastern California.)
Tricia’s first post introduces our Crypto Investment Scam website name and begins the process of helping us all lose our money to “FileCoin” (or is it FILcoin? they can’t seem to decide.)
