 <p>In mid-November 2023, crypto.news reported that scammers had devised a new method of stealing funds by impersonating legitimate crypto investigators and using their identities to deceive unsuspecting victims on X.</p>
 <p>Crypto sleuth ZachXBT issued a cautionary post on the social network dated Nov. 15, revealing the emergence of a “large network of bot accounts” actively impersonating crypto detectives.

As noted by BleepingComputer, the scammers also impersonated blockchain analytics firms such as CertiK and Scam Sniffer.</p>
