  • Beware the Cybercrime Underworld: Scotty's Scam Watchdog Report

    Beware the Cybercrime Underworld: Scotty's Scam Watchdog Report
    2025/06/06
    Hey there, I’m Scotty — your go-to guy for scams, hacks, and digital sneakery. If it involves a shady text, a phishing link, or some guy in his mom’s basement pretending to be your bank, I’ve probably dissected it. Now, let's dive straight into the digital underbelly, because the scam artists have been busy this week — and not in the good way.

    Top billing on the scam front? That would be the arrest of Luka Vasković, the 28-year-old Serbian behind a sprawling ransomware-as-a-service operation, taken down just three days ago in a coordinated Europol raid in Belgrade. This guy ran a service called "ScoundrelWare" — I mean, it's not like he had a branding team, but still — which let low-level cybercriminals rent pre-built ransomware kits. Authorities say ScoundrelWare was used in over 100 attacks across Europe and the US, targeting hospitals and schools. Yeah, real charming. If the FBI’s indictments stick (and wow, it looks like they will), Luka’s going to be sipping cold coffee in a very different type of basement for a long time.

    Meanwhile, over in the good ol' US of A, an A-list celebrity voice clone scam just surfaced — and it’s equal parts wild and horrifying. Scammers used AI voice cloning to impersonate Matthew McConaughey in robocalls, claiming to support a fake charity connected to Texas wildfire relief. No, alright alright alright was said, but the voices were convincingly close. The FTC launched an investigation this week and is warning everyone: verify calls the old-school way — call the organization directly. If someone’s asking for crypto donations over the phone, back away like it's a tarantula carrying a USB port.

    And listen — don’t drop your guard on job scams. LinkedIn has been dealing with a fresh plague of fake recruiters. One recent scheme involves a fake Google recruiter promising remote engineering roles — all you have to do is buy a company laptop upfront. Right. If a job asks you to “order equipment first,” it’s not onboarding, it’s offloading your cash.

    Want to avoid these scams? Rule one: If it’s urgent, emotional, or too awesome to be real — it’s probably not real. Rule two: Google is your friend. Look up names, email addresses, reverse search those profile pics. Rule three: Turn on two-factor authentication and use a passphrase, not your cat’s name plus the year you graduated.

    Alright, digital denizens, that’s your scam report from yours truly. Stay sharp, surf safe, and never trust a pop-up that says you’ve won an iPhone. Scotty out.

  • Beware the Evolving Scam Tactics: Scotty's Cybersecurity Insights

    Beware the Evolving Scam Tactics: Scotty's Cybersecurity Insights
    2025/06/04
    All right, listen up—Scotty here. I know scams like I know my router password, and that baby’s 28 characters long with special symbols. Now, let’s plug into what’s been happening in Scam Land over the past few days. Spoiler alert: it’s been wild.

    Just yesterday, June 3rd, the Department of Justice announced the arrest of 32-year-old Dmitri Reznikov, a name you’ll want to remember if you ever ran into fake crypto wallets on Telegram or Discord. This guy ran a whole operation out of Eastern Europe, pushing fake investment platforms that promised NFTs that “absolutely would skyrocket overnight.” Instead, investors got zip. Oh—and he was also behind a phishing ring targeting Coinbase users with login prompts that looked painfully legit. If you clicked, he had you. Always check the URL, folks. If it ain't coinbase dot com, it ain’t your friend.

    Meanwhile, over in Los Angeles, a group pretending to be from the IRS—classic move—were busted just last Friday. They’d spoof caller IDs and even had AI voices replicating official IRS agents. Deepfake voices now? We’re there. It’s 2025, and anyone can be anyone… for the price of a decent voice model. Some victims were told they owed taxes from 2020 pandemic relief funds, and if they didn't pay immediately via Apple gift cards—yeah, still happening—they’d be arrested. Rule one: No government is getting you to Venmo them your freedom.

    Now let’s talk fake job offers. This one stings, people. Scammers recently started using LinkedIn—yes, your precious network—to offer roles at major names like SpaceX and Tencent. One guy, Marcus Liu—recent grad from Chicago—got offered a “remote developer role” at what he thought was Amazon Web Services. They sent him onboarding docs, even ran a fake orientation. You know when they finally asked for sensitive info to “set up payroll”? He was toast. Always verify the company domain before signing anything. No “hr-aws-careerjobs dot net” is offering you six figures.

    And let me hit you with one more, because it’s spicy. There’s a partnership scam going around where social media influencers are getting emails about “collaboration deals” with brands like Rolex and Louis Vuitton. Email looks slick, attachment has the brief, you open it—and boom: info stealer malware scripts inject into your system. If it’s a gig too good to be true and they want you to download a ZIP file, close that tab like it's your ex texting you “sup?”.

    Bottom line? Scammers are evolving. They’ve got AI, deepfakes, Web3 lingo, and they’re lurking in your inbox right now. Keep software updated, use two-factor authentication that isn't SMS, and question everything with a digital sniff test. If your gut says “this is sketch”—trust it.

    That's your quick and dirty download from Scam HQ today. I’m Scotty, reminding you: in cyberspace, trust should be earned—never downloaded. Stay safe, stay smart, and don’t get got.

  • Scam-Fighting Cyber Sleuth Reveals Latest Tricks: Phishing, Crypto Laundering, and AI-Powered Voice Scams

    Scam-Fighting Cyber Sleuth Reveals Latest Tricks: Phishing, Crypto Laundering, and AI-Powered Voice Scams
    2025/06/02
    Hey, Scotty here — your friendly neighborhood scam-spotter, cyber sleuth, and part-time digital watchdog. Let’s skip the fluff. It’s June 2nd, 2025, and here's your up-to-the-minute download on the latest and wildest in scamland. Buckle up, because the fraudsters have been busy.

    So this past week, the big name lighting up the cybersecurity world isn't a tech giant—it's a scammer. Meet Santiago Luna, a 34-year-old from Miami who was arrested on Thursday for running a massive phishing-as-a-service platform. Yeah, you heard right—they’ve Uber-ized phishing. Santiago’s service, dubbed "Hookline," sold tailor-made fake login pages of everything from Netflix to Microsoft 365. Users signed up to deploy these sites and collect credentials. Authorities say he had over 10,000 active clients. Charming.

    Meanwhile, British authorities just extradited Naila Ferguson, the so-called “Crypto Duchess,” for laundering nearly $90 million through fake Bitcoin investment platforms. Her scam literally tricked people into thinking they were investing in an AI-run trading bot that “never lost a trade.” Spoiler: it lost everything—mostly other people’s money. The kicker? Her YouTube videos featured rented Lamborghinis and green screen penthouses.

    Now let’s talk trending scam tactic: QR codes. Specifically, “quishing”—QR phishing. A couple in Phoenix lost their savings last week by scanning a slick-looking QR code on a parking meter which redirected them to a fake city payment portal. They punched in their card info, and within five minutes had three cash transfers hit their account bound for—you guessed it—Hong Kong. Pro move here: only scan QR codes you completely trust. And no, a sticker slapped on a meter doesn’t count.

    Also, be alert for those fake voice scams powered by AI. A woman in Vancouver reported getting a frantic call from what sounded exactly like her sister, begging for bail money. It was a deepfake. The AI cloned her sister’s voice from old social media videos and used it to pull a digital kidnapping hoax. We're entering the age of synthetic scams, folks. Your ears can lie to you now.

    So, in short: Never trust links in unsolicited texts. If an investment sounds like it prints money—it prints heartache. Keep multi-factor authentication on everything—including your toaster if possible. Keep your software updated, and for the love of keyboards, don't reuse passwords.

    I’m Scotty. Stay sharp, stay skeptical, and if it smells fishy, it’s probably a phishing kit sold on Telegram. Catch you next breach.
