Ripple has issued another warning to the XRP community after a fake Instagram account appeared to impersonate Chief Executive Officer Brad Garlinghouse and promoted an XRP giveaway scam to users.
The flagged account reportedly contacted users and promoted an XRP giveaway. Ripple CTO Emeritus David Schwartz highlighted the case and pointed to an older 2019 post describing a similar message sent from an account pretending to be Garlinghouse.
Schwartz said the scam followed a familiar pattern: it asked a user to send XRP first and promised to send back a larger amount later. He also made clear that the Instagram account was not linked to the Ripple CEO, framing his response as a direct warning that the account was fake.
Ripple has previously stated that it will never ask users to send XRP. The company has also warned that fraud attempts frequently use fake livestreams, fake giveaways, and fake support channels.
Ripple added that it does not operate an official Telegram channel, and any account claiming to represent Ripple there should be treated with caution. The company also told users that staff will not ask for wallet details, passwords, personal data, or payments through unofficial channels, and that guidance applies to messages that appear to come from executives.
Ripple’s latest alert comes as deepfake videos and fake support accounts remain common tools used by scammers on social media. Schwartz’s message reiterated that any request to send XRP in exchange for a larger return should be treated as a scam.
Ripple employees, including Garlinghouse, will not ask users to send funds or join suspicious investment offers, according to the company’s guidance.
