Crypto Scam Alert: Financial App Betterment Sends Phony Notification

Betterment, a financial app, inadvertently sent a suspicious notification to its customers on Friday, instructing them to send $10,000 to Bitcoin and Ethereum wallets in exchange for tripling their crypto investments. The company confirmed that the message was an unauthorized transmission via a third-party system and assured users it had taken steps to rectify the issue. The notification’s contents were similar to those reported by some recipients, who received an email version of the same offer.
