Hello everyone,I wanted to create this topic because a friend asked me about the legitimacy of something he came across. This friend usually uses websites that provide virtual phone numbers which can be used to receive text messages, and these messages are usually visible to everyone. He encountered this first message, which everyone who used this virtual number would see,, stating that a large amount of USDT had been withdrawn through one of the websites. The visitor also sees login credentials for the account.

a phishing message that was intentionally sent to this virtual number to lure users into visiting a phishing website that impersonates the well-known platform OKX.
From this situation, we must learn the following:1. Do not use websites that offer virtual numbers and receive temporary SMS services to confirm personal and important accounts.. Always create emails through trusted and official email providers.
2. Never open random websites you come across, whether on receive-SMS platforms or any other sites,, as many phishing sites impersonate famous platforms. You should always do the necessary research, bookmark only official links, and stick to using them.
Its quite funny how scammers never relent in their effort to do ill to any victim who isn't vigilant enough to read twice any re-read any suspicious links or respond to suspicious messages before falling victims to their ploy.
The reality of some of these scammers facing the wrath of the law if being caught isn't a scare anymore and that why i take it personally upon myself to increase my knowledge of their new schemes by reading such posts anywhere i find them and also keep track of any of my financial portfolio inorder not to fall prey to such false and misleading messages from anyone of suspicious looking numbers.
Thanks for this enlightening post and i must very well remind myself often and on, that using a short cut to help my situation may be detrimental as such is the case of using virtual numbers that have no strong root and origin because these scammers seem to get wet from using free access to these inferior sites because they either created them and it isn't under any regulations or control from the government.
