'Staking' Phishing Scam Stellar Account Viewer

Carlos

This morning I lost a considerable amount of Lumens, several thousands of dollars, due to the staking scam. In hindsight, the signals were obvious. Is there anywhere i can report the incident? I dont regard i get the coins back, but anyway, to at least report a crime.

Thanks.

Hi Carlos,

I'm sorry to hear that. This is a well known scam. The best we can do is try to spread the message to warn people. It is also always good to follow the Stellar security guidelines to protect yourself.

Depending on where you are located, I would also contact the police. Some countries have special units dedicated to cryptocurrency scams.
