Good heavens, what a to-do! The poor old XRP chappies are in a bit of a pickle, what? Scoundrels, bounders, and ne’er-do-wells have taken to hijacking YouTube channels, masquerading as Ripple’s official whatnots, and peddling fake giveaways faster than Jeeves can mix a martini. 🍸 And all this just as XRP is having a bit of a spiffing rally, thanks to ETF hoo-ha and adoption razzmatazz.
Ripple Sounds the Alarm 🚨 as Scallywags Rebrand YouTube Channels to Look Dashingly Official
By Jove, Ripple Labs has taken to the social media platform X (formerly known as Twitter, don’t you know) to issue a jolly fraud alert. Seems there’s been a sharp uptick in XRP-related shenanigans on YouTube. These cads are pinching legitimate channels and tarting them up to look like Ripple’s own, then using them to flog deceptive schemes and fleece unsuspecting viewers out of their hard-earned XRP. Tsk, tsk. Ripple chimed in with a PSA that’s as clear as a bell:
“What ho! We’ve spotted a jolly increase in XRP scams on YouTube – these blighters are nicking accounts and giving them a lick of paint to impersonate our official setup.”
And let’s not forget their stern reminder: “Old chap, Ripple or our top dogs will NEVER ask you to send us XRP. Not on your nelly!”
This kerfuffle comes at a dashed inconvenient time, what with XRP having a bit of a moment in July. The price is soaring like a well-aimed cricket ball, nearing record levels. The chaps in the know credit this to the SEC lawsuit hullabaloo being sorted out and the buzz about XRP spot ETFs getting the green light. 🏏💹
And let’s not forget the institutional types jumping on the bandwagon, using XRP for cross-border payments like it’s the latest thing. Add to that the general bullishness in the crypto world, and you’ve got a proper old knees-up.
Poor old Brad Garlinghouse, Ripple’s CEO, has been a prime target for these bounders. Deepfake videos and fake giveaways have cost victims billions, by Jove! He’s been shouting from the rooftops, denouncing these scams and urging everyone to keep their wits about them. Ripple even sued YouTube back in 2020, accusing them of not doing enough to stop these XRP giveaway scams impersonating Garlinghouse and other toffs. Ended in a settlement, it did, but still—what a carry-on! 🤦♂️📉
