Jameson Lopp posts a screenshot of a Telegram account impersonating COLDCARD WALLET that messaged a user on 1 August, opening with rapport rather than an immediate credential request: the sender claims database records showing the recipient was an early user and asks whether they moved their funds safely. The capture also shows Telegram's own contact panel marking the account Not an official account, registered March 2026, and the blue mark identified in-app as a Premium subscriber badge rather than verification. Quoted above his 31 July warning that phishing mail posing as Coinkite security notices would follow. First-hand documentary evidence of an impersonation channel exploiting this incident's migration guidance.

This post is registered as evidence and has a locally held capture. The original remains the canonical publication.
