Hollywood actor Seth Green tweeted that scammers phished his NFT hoards. The stolen NFTs were one Bored Ape Yacht Club, two Mutant Apes, and one Doodle.
Green implored his Twitter audience not to buy his stolen NFTs until he resolves the issue. A group of phishing scammers has stolen the expensive NFTs from the actor’s wallet.
However, the hackers had already sold two NFTs— a Bored Ape Yacht Club for nearly $200,000 and one of the Mutant NFTs for $42,200. The rest of the NFTs are worth $70,000. Contextually, the OpenSea NFT marketplace has flagged both Green’s account and the remaining two NFTs.
