Thought perhaps this was posted previously, but it's just a very similar story.

"I'm a scam prevention expert and I got scammed" (544 comments 20 days ago)

I also thought of this prior post. I believe it is the same scam and written up by someone also claiming to be a security researcher. It seems too on the nose to be a coincidence.

Yeah I thought this was the same repost. It's very similar.

It is too long-winded. Could the scam story be a scam itself?
