Caught a fake BTS "Jimin" scammer red-handed with an IP tracker. True location: Lagos, Nigeria.
An account slid into my DMs claiming to be Jimin from BTS. They completely failed basic Korean cultural terms (didn't know maknae or hyung) and accidentally dropped the Nigerian street slang 'guyyy' mid-conversation.
When they tried to force me onto the Zangi messaging app, I hit them with an IP tracker disguised as a 'phone screen error link' to bypass their security defenses. They clicked it out of greed, and their true network footprint snapped perfectly to Lagos, Nigeria, on the MTN network. Vro had an Android 10 lol!
When I dropped the screenshot of the advanced log to expose them, their final reply was literally: "omor e go far" (Nigerian Pidgin for 'wow, this has gone way too far'). 😭
Huge shoutout to Google Gemini for the excellent strategic guidance in handling this threat safely and keeping my data secure. Full play-by-play screenshots attached! Edit: This is the video that I sent him disguised as a screenshot 😂😂: https://youtube.com/shorts/2Xmf0iTk1WI?si=sRFbdYSfkiJt4KlD
