It is not clear why Cuban decided to reveal that he fell for the scam, although it might be to alert people that if they received an email from his gmail account, it was a fake. It is also not clear why he then deleted the tweet.

Cuban said he got a call from someone named ‘Noah’ using Google’s number, “650-203-0000.” He said that the caller claimed someone gained access to his account and spoofed Google recovery methods. He also informed his followers that anyone who got emails from 3 PM PST from “[email protected]” should know they weren’t from him.

Now that the tweet has been deleted, X users have been left speculating if it was from him or his X account had been hacked. Some users left messages trying to explain the incident, and some suggested that the hackers used a spoofed sim card set to the Google number.

Either way, it’s certainly an unusual, perhaps bizarre episode, leaving multiple unanswered questions.
