There's a phishing scam going around that attempts to trick users into clicking on a fake Calendly link to schedule" phony interviews in order to steal Discord credentials for a wallet-draining scam.
We recently discovered that a bad actor has been impersonating Verge science reporter Justine Calma to carry out this scam. Justine recently changed her handle on X (formerly Twitter) from @justcalma to @justinecalmajourno. The scammer hijacked her old handle @justcalma - which was still present on her Verge profile at the time - and leveraged her identity when messaging users about a fake interview.
