What is the difference between a scammer, and a mosquito?
If I had a chance to eradicate all mosquitos on earth, I’d decline and let the mosquitos live.
I wanted to create a story highlighting all the scammer comments that I receive on my stories. This is a unique feature to writing about income, crypto, anything related to making money. It seems unavoidable. I have started a few crypto groups in attempt to network and gain audiences, only to shut them down because they became INFESTED with these scammer posts, comments, and profiles.
I started a crypto related publication here on Medium, and within 15 days, the only sign ups were people scamming with suspect links, and people using AI to generate crap stories. I deleted the publication because, in hindsight, scammers create so much work for the admin, it’s not even worth running a crypto related publication for me.
Which brings me to this story. I truly wish I had the time to find, report, and block every scam spam comment that I receive, but it takes too much time and attention. So I have decided to make a shame post, the purpose of which is not to shame real and specific people, but rather to show exactly what scam comments look like. These are not real people. Their profiles all have zero followers. Their comments are all painfully generic and copy/paste, but apparently it works on the most gullible and desperate or they wouldn’t keep at it, so I’d like to show you what the posts look like.
These are the most common scam posts you will find, and what they are likely doing with it:
The “Special Thanks” scam
This one seeks to lure you off platform, usually to Telegram or Instagram. They want to either take your money with fake investment schemes, OR, they are fishing and want to get your information.
I don’t know who “Mandaxhack” is, but he has a virtual army of spammers.
The Token Drop, free crypto scam
This one seeks to lure you to a coin platform that will connect to your crypto wallet. If it’s not legitimate and run by scammers, you can expect your wallet to end up being drained. Or, they lure you to invest, then they show you a little fake compounding to excite you, hopefully you invest more. When you do, they disappear.
If it’s a legitimate service, the platform is either run by idiots who think spam soliciting in comments is appropriate marketing, OR the comments come from users who are idiots who think soliciting in comments is appropriate marketing.
Always, examine every URL and gather info on any platform, find reviews and other REAL users, before you invest anything.
The Crypto Loss/Recovery Scam
This one is kind of amusing — this scam seeks to find people who have lost money to scammers, so they spam other scammers posts, or whoever they think will have an audience suitable to finding people who have lost money.
Here is how the scam works :
Recovery is difficult. Most scammers who steal money aren’t so dumb as to use Bitcoin, or any other traceable blockchain. What scammers usually do is take your Bitcoin, funnel it through a mixer into an encrypted blockchain, and poof — now it’s gone. This is NOT recoverable.
So the “recovery specialists” have a pretty easy job. They promise to try, but cannot guarantee recovery.
You pay them for their services. (And their service price varies and can be haggled, they will start at $500, but will take $20 just to get SOMETHING from you).
“Sorry, after many attempts, we were unable to recover your funds”.
Simple as that.
The Fake Celebrity scam
This one is a favorite. They use a famous persons profile like Joe Rogan, or BitBoy, and they pretend to be that person, stealing a few photos, then trying to lure COMPLETE IDIOTS into conversation, fooling them into sending them money. Usually, this scam is entirely about getting the dumbest people on the block to send them money directly. “I want to come back to the USA, but lost my credit card, can you send me a gift card?”
Here is my all-time favorite that happened to me recently.
I was added on Facebook by none other than…. Andrew Tate himself!
In summary, if you are a scammer, spamming my stories, this is how I see you, and how I hope my audience sees you:
Thank you for reading!
Until next time….
Onward and Upward Everybody!
