FTX users are allegedly facing a withdrawal scam, with Twitter user Sunil, who is known for advocating for FTX creditors, issuing a warning about the phishing scheme. Sunil advised FTX account holders to exercise caution and refrain from clicking on suspicious links.
Sunil's tweet underscores the continuously evolving methods employed by online scammers.
Numerous FTX users have reported receiving misleading emails that appear to be from FTX Trading, West Realm Shires Services, and FTX EU. These emails falsely promise FTX creditors an exclusive opportunity for immediate asset withdrawals, sidestepping waiting periods and legal procedures. An instance of a deceptive email reads as follows:
The email is directed at users who are interested in withdrawing their assets in light of the ongoing legal disputes involving Sam Bankman-Fried, the former CEO of the exchange.
The fraudulent scheme came to light shortly after FTX creditors reached a significant milestone by revealing the resolution of customer property disputes.
Subject to approval from a bankruptcy court, the revised plan outlines substantial assistance for FTX's worldwide customer community. As per the proposal, customers will receive more than 90% of the distributable value.
