FTX has issued a warning to creditors about a surge in phishing scams as it prepares to distribute $1.65 billion in its third round of payouts. The official FTX account on the X platform highlighted that scammers are impersonating Kroll Restructuring Administration and FTX Recovery Trust, sending fraudulent emails that falsely claim users are eligible for payouts between 118% and 142%. These scams attempt to deceive users into clicking on malicious links or visiting fake websites to connect their wallets or verify information. FTX stressed that it will never request users to connect their wallets or provide personal information via email to claim funds. The company urged creditors to rely solely on the official website for information and to be cautious of any suspicious communications.
