#ContentStar ZachXBT is back with yet another exposé.

This time, a Canadian scammer known as Yahya has been exposed by the pseudonymous on-chain sleuth for their alleged involvement in 17+ SIM swaps, which resulted in the theft of more than $4.5 million.

ZachXBT Unmasks Fraudster Yahya
ZachXBT discovered that Yahya’s role involved conducting account searches on various platforms, particularly X/Twitter, using his panel. This enabled the scammer Skenkir to identify potential targets in the United States for SIM swap attacks.

As compensation for his services, Yahya was entitled to a percentage of the funds obtained through each successful attack. In July 2023, a notable incident occurred when Yahya, in collaboration with HZ, a scammer whose assets had been seized by the FBI, defrauded an individual named Amir of $250,000 (equivalent to 136 ETH). They had fraudulently claimed to be selling access to Yahya’s control panel, which inadvertently exposed Yahya’s wallet address in the process.

Upon analyzing Yahya’s address tied to the Amir payment, ZachXBT identified a common thread – the same address was reused for the panel scam as for the SIM swaps payments, effectively linking all of his activities.
