A Telegram user identified as Derian (@crɑick) posted a recruitment notice in the UK Fraudsters channel in August seeking callers for a Google Security Team voice phishing operation. The ad explicitly prohibited script reading while simultaneously publishing the exact script callers were required to use. The message instructed applicants to say "Good afternoon, this is [name] reaching you on behalf of the Google Account Security Team on a recorded line. Am I speaking with Larry Boyles?" Trellix threat intelligence analysts noted the contradiction between the stated restriction and the inclusion of the script text. VP of threat intelligence strategy John Fokker described the incident as part of an effort to "roast" criminal actors through the Dark Web Roast project, which uses memes and mockery to call out deceptive practices. He emphasized that such activities represent real criminal behavior causing significant harm despite their absurd presentation. The FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center reported $20.87 billion in losses from internet scams in 2025, with voice phishing emerging as the second most common method for initial system access and the primary tactic for compromising cloud environments. ReliaQuest data showed job postings referencing voice phishing skills more than doubled between 2024 and 2025.
