According to The Straits Times, Greek maritime risk management company Marisks issued an alert stating that scammers impersonating Iranian authorities have been contacting shipping companies of stranded vessels, demanding payment in BTC or USDT as a 'passage fee' for the Strait of Hormuz. Marisks emphasized that this is a scam and suspects that at least one vessel, which attempted to exit the strait on April 18 and was fired upon, may have fallen victim to this scheme. https://(wublock123.com)/news/iran-official-impersonators-extort-btc-usdt-from-ships-in-hormuz-strait-59878
