A Reddit user, targeted by a too-good-to-be-true job scam, let an AI impersonate them on WhatsApp and kept the scammer on the hook for nearly 5 hours. In the process they exposed an entire chain of wallets and the scammer's main destination address, and expects the wallets to be frozen. At least one potential victim was spared.
