Artists are being targeted by increasingly sophisticated scammers using fake podcast interview invitations as a lure to drain cryptocurrency wallets.​

How the scam works:

  • Scammers pose as legitimate podcast hosts
  • They invite artists for interviews
  • The interaction is designed to trick victims into connecting their wallets or sharing sensitive information

Key takeaway: This is a recurring threat that has evolved over time, with scammers becoming more convincing in their approach.​

Stay safe: Always verify podcast invitations through official channels before engaging, and never connect your wallet or share private keys during any interview process.​
