🚨 ALERT: Crypto Scam Hits Global Shipping Routes
Fraudsters impersonating Iranian authorities are now demanding payments in $BTC and $USDT from commercial vessels seeking “safe passage” through the Strait of Hormuz, according to maritime risk firm MARISKS.
⚠️ This alarming scheme is targeting shipping companies by exploiting geopolitical tensions — with reports suggesting that at least one vessel fired upon over the weekend may have already fallen victim and paid the fake transit fee.
This isn’t just fraud — it’s a dangerous blend of cybercrime and real-world risk impacting global trade routes.
Stay alert. Verify sources. Don’t fall for high-stakes deception.
