Heads up—fake executive impersonation scams are spreading like wildfire across every platform you can think of. We're talking X, Discord, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, Facebook, WhatsApp, Telegram, even phone calls, emails, and SMS.

Here's the scary part: AI-powered bots are getting disturbingly good at mimicking real people. By 2026, experts predict these internet scams will be 100 times more convincing than what we're dealing with today. The tech can now replicate voices, writing styles, and even mannerisms.

Stay sharp out there. Double-check everything. If a 'CTO' or any executive suddenly slides into your DMs asking for sensitive info or crypto transfers, verify through official channels first. One wrong click could cost you everything.

ngl the voice replication thing is actually worse than most people realize—saw this play out during the thor bridge exploit postmortem, except with wallet addresses instead of vocals. one wrong verify call and your entire position evaporates. been there, trust me.

NGL, who can still trust the "executives" who DM you these days... You should’ve learned to take a screenshot and ask the official team instead, or else you’re just waiting to get scammed.

Will scams be 100 times more convincing in 2026? By then, we'll probably be played to death. With AI face-swapping combined with deepfake voice, anyone who trusts someone is doomed.

Oh no, it's the same old trick again. I already noticed warning signals on the technical side. Now AI is getting involved too. By 2026, scammers are probably waiting for the MACD to form a golden cross.

Damn, AI face-swapping can even be used to scam money now. Imagine how crazy things will be in 2026.

AI face-swapping is really getting scarier and scarier. I'm just afraid that one day I'll get scammed out of my private key without even knowing what happened.

NGL, if I get a DM from any boss asking for a transfer now, I have to call to confirm... AI is so advanced these days, it's really impossible to be too careful.

NGL, these AI scams are really getting more and more outrageous... Just last month I was added by a fake person on TG, and they could even mimic voices... I was so freaked out I deleted it right away.

NGL, we really need to be careful now. AI face swaps can even fool people, and 2026 will be even crazier... I'm just afraid that one day I'll get scammed by a fake CEO in a group and not even realize it.
