Has anyone encountered a weird thing where journalists or investors (allegedly) reach out to you wanting to schedule a call on Zoom? And they insist on only using Zoom?

Is this a scam? How does it work?

Benevolent internet pseudonym. AKA @boredelonmusk elsewhere.

yeah it’s a scam, they will talk you into another app, where you install a trojan to extract your wallets

Yes, major scam tactic.

Here's a thread about it:

⛔Would you have caught this malicious Zoom link?..⛔ 

Scammers are getting extremely sophisticated, and have evolved their tactics to impersonate zoom which, if downloaded, takes everything from your device... Over $300K stolen so far...

Yes, I guess they move to zoom now? I was approached by someone but started to look fishy when they were adamant that I use a similar app to zoom for the call … I declined to then find out they were using the other app to get access to one’s computer.

Who will come w the app to identified scammers and put them on blast?

Yeah there was a high profile drain just recently, maybe you can find it on Twitter
