Recently, I read a lot about these interview scams involving crypto teams. Today, someone supposedly from @Cointelegraph tried their luck on me, I believe. Sharing this in the hope it prevents others from being targeted. 👇

My team was originally contacted and immediately did some background checks. None of them checked out! Shortly before the call they pinged again:

I was curious how long it would take them to keep up the charade and presented them with some of our (extremely) red flags: 🚩🚩🚩

Eventually, I dropped them a Google Meet. They obviously never showed up!

Here is the invite to the call. The Calendly link redirects to a Microsoft Teams call. No idea how the exploit would work from here. But I ain’t joining that.

@david_enim @Cointelegraph Wow David, this really resonates! Had a case recently - scammers posing as HR from a legit company. We caught it when a candidate flagged their “coding test” as a MetaMask drainer. Wild how recruiters are now the attack vector.
