A 22-year-old Pune resident lost Rs 2.5 lakh from his cryptocurrency wallet after downloading an app that one of his potential employers suggested. Naved Alam, a product designer and cryptocurrency trader, stated that he has now blocked the user’s account and reported him, but he has not yet reported the incident to the authorities. Alam wrote about the event on microblogging site X (formerly Twitter). “Recently, I fell victim to a scam on Twitter and lost $3000. Sharing my story to raise awareness and prevent others from going through the same ordeal,” Alam said. He included screen grabs of his conversation in a later post, stating that it began with a promising prospect when a person on Twitter going by the handle ‘crankybugatti’ contacted him about a design role with a company that was involved with a web3 communication app called ‘SocialSpectra.’
