According to on-chain analyst ZachXBT, a social engineering scammer named Ronaldd (real name Ronald Spektor) has been accused of stealing $6.5 million last month by impersonating Coinbase customer service. The incident occurred on October 7th when the victim received a call from someone posing as Coinbase customer service and was tricked into visiting a phishing website, resulting in the theft of funds. On-chain tracking shows that the stolen funds were exchanged for Litecoin on the eXch platform and dispersed to multiple service platforms. Just a few days later, Ronaldd boasted on Discord through screen sharing that his Ledger Live account showed a receipt of $3.1 million on October 8th. Further investigation revealed that his Telegram account was associated with TON addresses showing funds from multiple exchanges and linked to other Coinbase withdrawal records, further proving his involvement in the scam.
