🇮🇷🇮🇳 Indian Tanker Pays Crypto Bribe to Fake IRGC, Gets Shot at by Real IRGC

An Indian man posing as an IRGC Navy official contacted the SANMAR HERALD's captain and offered safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz for a fee in USDT. The captain wired the crypto. The scammer vanished.

The most expensive lesson in maritime history: the IRGC does not accept Tether, and they definitely do not send DMs.
