ZachXBT exposes fake X accounts are using war content to push crypto scams

A new investigation by blockchain analyst ZachXBT reveals a different kind of crypto scam. Not one built on technical tricks or complex exploits, It's all based on attention.

What makes this scheme different is how it starts. There's no direct pitch at the beginning or no immediate request for funds. Just content that feels relevant, urgent, and worth sharing.

Once attention is captured, everything else follows. Trust builds quickly when users believe they are engaging with real people or credible sources. And by the time the crypto promotion appears, the skepticism is already lowered. Instead of chasing users, scammers are now building environments where users come to them.

That makes the line between real and fake harder to see, especially on platforms where speed matters more than verification.
