According to a report by Golden Finance, Scott Melker, a cryptocurrency trader and investor known as "The Wolf of All Streets," said he learned of someone using his face and name to commit fraud, with at least one victim being scammed out of $4 million. On April 23rd, the cryptocurrency investor said, "I feel very angry." He revealed that a private investigator contacted him and informed him that one of his clients had been scammed out of $4 million by a Nigerian fraud gang using his name and face as bait. They obviously deceived a lot of people, "Melk said, adding," They also sent him a fake driver's license to prove it was me. "They also used his profile picture on the X platform as a photo. The fraudster used artificial intelligence to generate this fake ID card and used a fake email account that looked very realistic. They also use Zoom for video calls and artificial intelligence to disguise their identities, "Melk said." These methods are obviously quite complex. "He also mentioned that the fraudsters even forged the accounts of his wife and children to further confirm their identities.
