I wuz robbed.The post Ripple CTO Boasts He’s “Too Smart” to Fall For Phishing Scams appeared first on Coin Edition.More specifically, I was tricked by a phone-phisher pretending to be my bank, and he convinced me to hand over my credit-card number, then did $8,000+ worth of fraud with it before I figured out what happened. And *then* he tried to do it again, a week later!
