TLDR : Answer Summary
A warning is circulating about a current scam where plugging your phone into a charger could result in stealing your money. However, some comments suggest skepticism towards the claim, pointing out that the charger displayed is a wireless charger, and that modern smartphones have security measures to prevent unauthorized access.

Almost didn't let this on because it looks like a chain letter. The charger shown isn't even one you plug the phone into, it's a wireless charger ๐Ÿ˜‚

And most modern phones now have security that will prevent a USB device from doing anything on the phone unless you give permission
