Don't remind me again today

To be honest, the content platforms of certain leading exchanges do have astonishing traffic, with a large user base that covers the entire spectrum from Newbie to old suckers.



But precisely because of this, it has become a hunting ground for scammers. Those who are lurking in the comments section fishing, and those pretending to be big influencers in private messages, have tricks that are more skillful than each other.

I recently encountered a few times where someone with the exact same nickname as mine, used a blue-chip NFT avatar, and went to private message my followers. Last month, a friend was scammed out of several hundred U, and the scammer didn’t even bother to change the script, directly copying and pasting the "Get on the bus with me and make a profit" line.

There is nothing wrong with the content platform itself, but wherever there are many people, there will always be those who take advantage of the chaos. Everyone should remember to enable protection settings, do not easily trust unfamiliar private messages, especially those asking you to make a transfer.

Someone got scammed again, this trick is really insane. Nowadays you don’t even need to change the wording when copying and pasting, making money off information gaps is just too easy. I’ve also encountered people impersonating me, I’m really speechless.

Having my nickname copied is really outrageous; I've experienced it too.

High traffic is a double-edged sword; on one hand, the playability metrics have increased, while on the other hand, the ROI efficiency of Be Played for Suckers has also surged. To put it bluntly, the market clearing has not been done well.

That's why I quit those squares long ago, it's too dangerous. --- Here we go again, I also got a DM from a scam account the other day, almost laughed to death. --- Really, I've heard too many stories of friends getting scammed, now when strangers DM me, I delete it instantly. --- This trick is indeed everywhere, as soon as I see the words "guaranteed profit," I know it's a Rug Pull. --- The protection settings have been enabled for a long time, but there are still loopholes, I'm so frustrated. --- In crowded places, the waters are indeed murky, looks like I need to be more cautious. --- Why are there still people using such outdated tactics, do they really think everyone is a fool? --- Even the top exchanges can't manage everything, I can only rely on myself to stay alert. --- I just want to know how these scammers have so much free time, they hang out in the comments section every day. --- Ladies remember, before transferring money, ask yourself once, is this possible? --- It's another one of those copy-paste scams, really boring.

ngl, the scam-to-user ratio on these platforms is basically a data visualization nightmare at this point. per my analysis, it's less about the exchange and more about... evolutionary dead-ends thriving in low-friction environments, if u know what i mean

Really, now scammers don't even pretend anymore, they just copy and paste their scripts. I've been impersonated before, it made me furious. The funny thing is those people can't even come up with a new topic, they just use the same old tricks. Indeed, places with a lot of people are full of trouble. My fren was scammed before, she lost a few hundred u just like that. Later, I set up a private message filter for her, sending strangers straight into it. We really have to be more alert.

It's this trap again, I've long since gotten used to it; scammers are even more active than real celebrities.
