A crypto scam alert has been issued after ZachXBT exposed a network using high-follower X accounts to promote fraudulent tokens. The group employs AI to create fake personas and posts panic-driven content to increase visibility. In late February 2026, the scam promoted $ORAMAMA, which later collapsed. Chain data reveals the scheme generated six-figure profits. The network is now building engagement for its next project. ZachXBT urges platforms to take action and implement a network upgrade to prevent such tactics, and recommends legal action.

The network operates as follows: purchase accounts with existing follower bases, use AI to fabricate fake personas (such as an Asian version impersonating Mario Nawfal), post exaggerated or false panic-inducing content multiple times daily, have bot accounts reshare to amplify reach, and attract large, unaware accounts to engage, further boosting dissemination. Finally, promote fake giveaways or pump-and-dump scams in the account comments. On February 22, 2026, ten accounts within this network collectively promoted the token $ORAMAMA, then abruptly ceased all mention of it. On-chain data reveals that this pump-and-dump scheme generated six-figure USD profits. ZachXBT assessed that the network is currently accumulating engagement in preparation for its next scam. ZachXBT has called on platforms to ban these accounts and pursue legal action against such manipulative activities.
