As Ripple integrates XRP Ledger with banks and tests the RLUSD stablecoin, scammers have begun impersonating well-known financial institutions to steal XRP from holders. They create fake wallet addresses and issue dummy tokens mimicking official bank names, tricking users into exchanging real XRP for worthless tokens through phishing sites.
