A scam involving a website masquerading as a legitimate cryptocurrency service has been reported, leading to significant losses. A user has fallen victim to a phishing attack that mimicked the actual Boost website, leading to the theft of $3,000 worth of cryptocurrency from their MetaMask wallet. The scam was initiated via a direct message on Telegram by someone named “Emperor Walker,” who provided instructions on “sync” coins, resulting in the theft.

Case Details:

• Scam Website (Suspected): http://www.boost.com (This is the victim’s best guess; the fraudulent website used by the scammer is unknown as the conversation was deleted immediately after the theft.)
• Transaction Hash: 0x71a9d9441d43e08cc0bf333a9dd098d2d605c69e3d811ca017088533bc49dab2
• Receiving Address: 0x7387b17cCF07899CAB8Cd3496Ac9a95635aC8247

The victim notes that the scammer deleted the Telegram conversation soon after the funds were stolen but mentions that the scammer’s transactions are visible on the blockchain, which suggests that the activity can be traced.
