A YouTube channel named TenZ Live or @tenzliveus has emerged, attracting over 12,700 subscribers. Scammers organized a fake live stream supposedly featuring professional Valorant player Tyson “TenZ” Ngo, promising viewers free skins in exchange for clicking on a malicious link. During the stream, the number of viewers reached over 4,000, many of whom became victims of the scam.
The link in the stream redirected users to a fake site mimicking the Riot Games platform, where users were prompted to enter their Valorant account credentials. After entering their information, the site sent a password reset request to the victim's email, using the provided data, and asked for a confirmation code.
By gaining access to the account and email, the scammers were able to steal personal and financial information, as well as in-game items. Riot Games has been notified of the incident and has launched an investigation.
The company reminds users that they never request personal information or passwords through external links. Users are advised to be cautious, avoid clicking on suspicious links, and report any suspicious messages immediately.
