It's-a Me...Scammerio! Fake Trump Inauguration Committee Steals Crypto!

Wahoo! Scammers are Afoot!

It's a me Mario here with some spicy news! Looks like some sneaky Goombas have been up to no good trying to steal your precious coins! These villains pretending to be part of the Trump and Vance Inaugural Committee—can you believe it?—swiped over $250,000 in cryptocurrency. What a bunch of Bowser's minions!

Lowercase 'L' for Loser...or Scammer!

These Koopa Troopas used email addresses that looked almost identical to the real ones. Instead of a lowercase 'i' in the address they used a lowercase 'l'. Tricky tricky! They thought they could fool honest folks like me with such a simple trick? 'Oh yeah!' as I always say these guys thought they were so clever but I've seen smarter Boos!

Steve Witkoff's Name Dragged Through the Mushroom Kingdom!

Poor Steve Witkoff! These bandits used his name to trick people into sending their hard earned USDT stablecoin. The victim thought they were donating to the Inaugural Committee but instead their coins went straight into Bowser's treasure chest! This is worse than when Bowser steals Peach…at least I can usually get her back.

Government to the Rescue! Or at Least Some of It...

The U.S. government is on the case trying to recover the stolen coins! They managed to grab about $40,400 USDT. It's not all the coins but it's a start! They want to punish these crooks and get back the coins for the victims. 'Here we go!' to justice I always say.

Nigeria Connection: Ehiremen Aigbokhan's Binance Account

Looks like some of the coins ended up in a Binance account in Nigeria belonging to someone named Ehiremen Aigbokhan. Hmm seems like a long way to go for a bunch of digital coins. Within 24 hours the coins scattered like stars after I touch one. But fear not Binance cooperated to freeze the account. Atta boy!

Game Over for Scammers...Maybe?

So what's the takeaway folks? Be careful out there! These scammers are getting smarter but we can be smarter too! Always double check those email addresses and remember if it sounds too good to be true it probably is. 'Thank you so much for to playing my game!' And stay safe out there in the Mushroom Kingdom...err the internet! Wahoo!
