The hottest woman at XRP Las Vegas wasn’t there

Women posing for photos by the XRP Las Vegas sign today made news for the wrong reason.

If it’s too good to be true, it probably is.

Yesterday and today on social media, a lot of people saw beautiful women posing at the XRP Las Vegas conference banner.

Unfortunately, many of these photos are AI-generated.

Think first. Do you really think you’re seeing the hottest woman of the week in your DMs, and she just so happens to be attending XRP Las Vegas?

If you’re not familiar with romance scams or “pig butchering” operations, it’s a common practice. “She” will talk to you about how nice you are and how much she wants to set up a date, but first, could you just send some crypto to help “her” get “her” outfit and taxi?

Or even better, “her” friend can help you invest crypto at this weird website where you can earn amazing yields… but of course, never withdraw.

Don’t fall victim to romance scams, which almost always start with a catfish photo.

“I’m at the conference, DM me”? No thanks!

XRP Premium Analysis

These romance scammers’ “DM me” hook was bait designed to drain XRP wallets while the real attendees were busy networking.

The fake photos went viral within hours. Replies poured in from verified accounts. “These girls were not real?!”

Someone even realized part-way into the scamming process. “How do you unsend DMs?”

It’s funny. It’s also a bittersweet signal of legitimacy for XRP — that scammers think that XRP holders are big enough targets to leave their usual tactics focused on BTC, ETH, or USDT…
