This sounds somehow legit that is why the victim of the scam fall for it. But how did they get access into his crypto wallet? You did not tell us how they got access into his wallet. Did they hack his wallet why he was on call for the job interview?

But there are several things you can do differently from Alexander to not get yourself in a similar situation:
- Don't hold your crypto in hot wallets. Especially not on devices you use for everyday activities. If Alexander's crypto had been in a hardware wallet, an airgapped computer, or a second computer he only uses for crypto, this could have been avoided. There is no reason to hold $1 million worth of crypto on an internet-connected device when there are safer options around.
- Take your time to investigate and research people and projects. Alexander found out these people were scammers, but only after they scammed him. Why didn't he do his due diligence before?
- Always be careful and suspicious. It's still unclear what kind of Microsoft Teams meeting Alex attended. He claims it was an official link, but who knows. Fake links with extensions and scripts are shared this way. One wrong click and you invite malware and drainers into your system.

Moreover thanks to you for this information. It is like the scam victim have his wallet in the same device he used for the call or they sent him phishing link which he clicked and they hacked his device.
