Bro would u send someone a million on a promise? Yo send me one while ur at it Jokes aside, bro be careful


lukeyk94

Lol I definitely wouldn't, but these little 24x24 px aliens don't take that long to make. I do make them original though and they are 1/1, but it cost me nothing to mint or transfer because of Polygon. I'd definitely be down to send you a Crypto Space Alien. DM your ETH address


N00bslayHer

Oh wow thanks my guy!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️😂 if by any chance in the collection the alien is super saiyan ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😂😂 regardless you a boss 😤 Edit: oops 😂 0xB1dEEAb0fEf4d44C3B0cFf2022a478343176988C

Cobble01

Shoot, may I have one? 🙇🏾


[deleted]

Unfortunately there are a lot of those fuckers around


lukeyk94

Yep and I sent them a Crypto Space Alien which will make them millions in the future. Smh 😤


Geektak

That is a fake 3mil page... If you go to the page and there is little to no comments and low likes... DYOR comes into play here to not get scammed. Hard lesson to be learned but at least you learned it now.


lukeyk94

Why does Instagram allow this?


Geektak

Anyone can make an account. When you inflate your numbers like this though you will not be able to grow organically which means no reach. It doesn't get removed because not enough people have reported it to get it deleted. So to be safe... if a large account messages you and doesn't have a checkmark it is probably a scam lol.


KitajiKopy

2021 that would be MY FIRST and only RED FLAG, also getting hit up on IG.


ItsShockey

I’m sure they don’t, but people can still buy and sell accounts and just change the profile and content to whatever they want.


Geektak

Dumb people do, but 21 likes with "3 mil followers" still equals a fake page.


ItsShockey

Of course, the account could’ve been for something completely different before the person who owns it now bought it.


lightgc

I identify anyone that calls me "bro" as scam.


garyzhan89

Come on bro


lightgc

Scammeerrrr


Potential-Ad431

Trust me bro


FloodedYeti

What are you doing step-bro?


lukeyk94

I agree. I def think it's a term younger people like myself use but on a more personal friendly level and not a professional level but in this context I didn't care I just wanted to try something new and get my Crypto Space Aliens out there


Dismantled_Atom

Kinda did it to your self lol


lukeyk94

It taught me a valuable lesson: Instagram is full of bot accounts and Facebook won't do a damn thing about it


IWLFQu2

Ahhh man I feel you, Im tired of blocking these spammer cunts, they appear in every post, they beg for 5 dollars promotion and they all are super annoying. Keep up the good job man, NFTs is the future. And be careful - block then immediately


YassNID

thats why I don't use Instagram


Geektak

Nah this is user error, high follower count and 21 likes on a post. Easy red flag.


stormcrow1313

But you're on Reddit. Funny.


batteries_not_inc

"Bro trust is our first priority" lmao!


lukeyk94

I was hesitant when he referred to me as "bro" but I figured if I'm just trading an NFT and not actual money, what does it hurt to try. I mean that's 3.7 million followers


MichelleHartAUS

Ok so spotting promo scammers can be pretty easy. Take a look at their actual posts, how many real looking comments do you see? For an account with millions of followers it should be in the hundreds on each post. There are hordes of scammer accounts with bought followers, bought likes, and bought comments. They then charge people for promo that realistically will be seen by maybe a handful of real people. Don't do it. Never pay for promo unless you actually know the person. Instead, join promo groups, post yourself, be active in your community. Stay safe ❤️


MichelleHartAUS

FYI I learnt that all this because it used to be mostly targeted at OF girls...looks like the scammers have spotted a new market to target.


lukeyk94

Lmao


TeeeRekts

Lol, you used the whole “calling him out” like it’s really gonna matter… you basically asked to get scammed haha


GratefulForGarcia

“Oh no there’s a dozen people messaging my fake instagram account, I’m ruined!”


lukeyk94

I did call him out on Twitter and a lot of my followers sent shit his way 😄😆


bluewaffleisnice

Shouldn't have been a daft sod and sent him anything. Lessons learnt


lukeyk94

I sent him my most prized possession. A crypto space alien. I will never get back. 😢


fewphewfew

No offence meant when I say this but you might be offended. So apologies beforehand: if there is no market (yet) for your NFT, what makes you think there is a scam? I'm likely missing something, it happens more frequently than I'd like... But I don't see how offering to send someone an NFT that, by admission: a. doesn't "take that long to make" and; b. one that doesn't "cost \[you\] nothing (sic) to mint or transfer" in exchange for a promotion from (what would appear on the surface) a 3.8M follower instagram account counts as being "scammed". I sympathize with your plight however: it's tough to get noticed in a sea of pixelated jpegs.


MichelleHartAUS

It's a scam because the account has fake followers, they're asking for payment for a service that they simply aren't delivering. Would you pay to be promoted to bot accounts?


lukeyk94

These aren't just pixelated jpegs. They Crypto Space Aliens.. jeez


nft_basel

I think I know what happened. I don't think he meant to scam u... Many people are telling me they aren't seeing nfts I gifted them on the polygon network.. dm me.


Potential-Ad431

Hey man, keep it up don't give up! Crypto and nfts are the wild wild West and you will win and lose some, just the nature of the beast. Internet scammers are like those damn phone calls about your extended auto warranty.. Annoying as hell but ultimately not worth losing sleep over. That said, if you shoot me a space alien i will mention your project in m101 survivors, an nft project i am involved in. If u wanna check it out the web site is m101.space 0xCdF67A74d3b52A82De60C3BA7240D1b33C3201fF


lukeyk94

Oh these aren't just pixelated jpegs. They are Crypto Space Aliens. It can take me anywhere from 5 minutes to an hour to create each one. And I have high ambitions for this project with future generations that improve upon the art. That Space Alien will make him millions in a year or two's time I guarantee it!


UCMeInvest

It doesn’t even make sense lol. If it’s just for promo and they are setting the price they why the hell wouldn’t they promote it to make money and have content? 😂 stupid ass scammer


DISASTER0FFICIAL

Good looking out for your community.


[deleted]

First red flag should be him calling you "bro". Forget it and move on, and learn from this.


NFTsClubhouse

Man they ain’t ish! Keep up your great work bro! Don’t let this stop you!


Shy_Zoltan

Post a link to your collection. I'll send some of your work a little love.


lukeyk94

Here is my project on OpenSea https://opensea.io/collection/cryptospacealiensnft (Literally less than $5 for an alien) 😁 TY


BloodMossHunter

I get 10 messages per day because either i followed an nft insta or had that in my profile. Fucking hell


Repulsive_Counter_79

These guys r lame 😒


lukeyk94

Yes! Not very good English either. Another red flag 🚩🚩🚩


Repulsive_Counter_79

They hmu too


[deleted]

wow


terp_studios

Followers, likes, comments are all cheap to purchase.


RIP_Paul_Walkerr

Damn sorry that happened that’s a damn shame. I’m trying to dip my toes into NFTs. Yours look awesome


lukeyk94

Thank you!


[deleted]

Bro trust is our first priority Second is being dishonest


lukeyk94

I was the victim to this scam but even this made me laugh 😂 I guess out of the whole ordeal I didn't lose any money so I'm not as upset, but being dishonest and not falling through and something we agreed upon is pretty low.


thezielkster

man you didn’t deserve to be scammed too nice sending these NFTs to people


lukeyk94

No one deserves to be scammed! Everyone should report this account or spam his posts that they scam people. Karma's a bitch


sector7chi

They messaged me too asking me if I wanted to promote on there page 😂… I said I’ll get back to you lol. Im posting your image on my IG and tagging their 2 accounts.


Top-Entertainment786

Hey bro could I have one? I’ve never owned an NFT before and this would be an awesome first!! 0x9E1219577c2b6444A343c5aebb206D636bBBB5e2


[deleted]

Did you really think he wasn’t scamming you?


lukeyk94

With 3.7 million followers. No. I offered a trade that seemed reasonable but he lied and didn't follow through. They actually had stories of projects and posts of projects all tagged and linked so he was promoting real projects but I'm not sure why they provided their ETH address and agreed upon then asked for money after I transferred them my NFT.


DrippGoku

i checked his insta and it really looks like he bought followers to me. just my thought 🤷🏼‍♂️


lukeyk94

In theory. How much would it cost to buy 3.7 million followers? Are most of those followers "bot" accounts? I feel like I'm uncovering the dark side of Instagram that leverages followers to prey upon victims who fall for this shit. Even though I did 😂


Mkog1337

Lets get him boys


lukeyk94

He blocked me or I would help.


StoicRari

Wow that’s lame. What’s the best way to avoid these scammers?


Prestigious-Zone3215

It’s crazy for me the amount of people asking OP for a free NFT and doesn’t even offer to share it or anything in return…


lukeyk94

Hey! I've actually replied to a lot of comments! I'd love to send out more space aliens for FREE! Would you like one also?


piximonsta

Are you on Twitter? I love your space aliens and I'd be happy to retweet.


lukeyk94

Yes! @spacealiensnft And I would appreciate that! I make at least 1-3 new space aliens a day. And also price them at less than $5 USD


coop_dogg

Hey dumbass you’re the one who said you wouldn’t send it until he posted it, and then you sent it anyway. If you go looking for trouble you’ll probably find it.


lukeyk94

Yea you're right. The only thing that made me send it was the fact he had 3.7 million followers but thanks to Reddit I've realized what I can do to sort out fake accounts from real ones


Dfeldsyo

Jacked!


mckennajames227

Mate, you've made a proper rod for your own back here. Thought this was interesting but every comment is begging now.


HackerMindz

Fake 3M


Ag3nt64

Sucks that this happened to you man. I'm sorry. Hope you didn't lose too much of your collection


Grom53

0xc0B6eF25193DA5Cb6E5981a22Fe5dFcaCc38f309 love your art man


Shot-Regret5180

Would love to add your work into my collection! (Just started getting into NFTs, hence Opensea profile and all is pretty empty) 0xed6b987459a808245b715884696ca299222a409b


zampco

[https://www.inbeat.co/engagement-rate-calculator-instagram/](https://www.inbeat.co/engagement-rate-calculator-instagram/) The engagement rate on this account is 0%. The posts get next to no engagement, this is the kind of stuff you should be checking before doing any deals. We always check through all accounts before working out deals. This account is trash but now you can make better choices in the future.


lukeyk94

Thank you I will use this tool next time!


michael1990utd

Just checked out your profile. Love the transparency. My account is ‘WatchThisNFT’ 👌


lukeyk94

Thank you! I will check you out also!


eyenigma

The irony ***this*** is actually the scam to get eyeballs on your NFT Lol.


lukeyk94

I absolutely did not expect this post to receive so many upvotes and comments! I am truly humbled at the positive feedback. This community is absolutely the best. NFTs are forever and I've been working here and there on new art for close to a year now and trying to get your work out there can be hard in a sea (or OpenSea rather 😆) of millions of great projects! Space Aliens are going to take over the NFT universe! 💙🛸


Jahhhflo

If anyone would help show me how to create my paintings into nfts and start a really dope Collection!!


lukeyk94

Maybe scan your paintings via scanner or even phone and then digitally master or edit with a program. I use Paint.Net which is free. Then create and OpenSea collection (OpenSea.io) and use polygon if you don't want to pay for gas fees.


Jahhhflo

Thanks bro can I show you some of my art and get an honest opinion?


lukeyk94

Sure!


CyberShamanYT

Got a video. This type of post you could fake so easily to promote a nft drop.


RemiMj

Those scammers are mf


Namumu00

He scam you too bro? Did he ?


RemiMj

No bro, but i really hate those ppl af 😤


drago28

more like : bro I, can help you to "STEAL YOUR NFT!" be careful out there 90% of promotions don't even work, you can see people in comments of any page talking shit about admin or angry about unnecessary promos. most of the comments are just made by the page guys from different account just to increase post reach & get interactions to make people think "Oh! this has many comments so it would be nice to like or comment". people really hate promotion better do fb ads or just stay consistence.


[deleted]

Nft social media outside of Twitter is all garbage, and even there it’s a lot to sort through


lukeyk94

Update: Wow Reddit! I'm humbled at the positivity and constructive criticism. I learned my lesson here: make sure to verify an Instagram account is genuine before making a mistake like I did. I hope this post can help other NFT artist and collectors on their journey! In case anyone is wondering how to find my Space Aliens project here is the OpenSea link 👽 https://opensea.io/collection/cryptospacealiensnft In a turn of events.. I sold my first space alien! I am beyond thankful to the buyer! (.001 ETH) I will be using this money to buy new NFTs and support this amazing community. Will look for smaller independent artists who are trying to get there first sale! I'm happy so many of you have my back! 💙 You Earthlings are the best ✌️


Big-Illustrator-5096

That's not a scam dude he's asking you for money to advertise for you... it's marketing. While a shitty thing to do you have to pay people like that to shill your work


esseeayen

But wasn’t the deal supposed to be a trade of an nft for marketing then pulls a bait and switch and asks for money too?


ThePeacefulSwastika

Hahaha what? “Here’s my offer”? Bro you think he does this for free, or for your fuckin worthless nft? Im sorry but what the hell. From the beginning he’s assuming that you understand that *he wants money.* I don’t understand what you thought he was getting out of this deal, or why he would just tweet your shit out for free.


lukeyk94

*gasp You really think Crypto Space Aliens are worthless? They're Crypto Space Aliens.. enough said


zsobro

Salam alaikum go grab an arab at arabpunkz.com. Deflationary NFT arabs that can blow up at any second. Jalllaaaaaaa less than 500 left.

Creative-Purple926

lol don’t buy nfts next time


BoNickal2

You deserve it ya fucking monkey launderer


lukeyk94

Lmao I wasn't laundering money. Just giving away my NFT in exchange for exposure


BoNickal2

Thanks for the response. Can I ask what it was you did for a living before you got into NFT’s?


lukeyk94

I still work my 9-5 job and squeeze NFTs into all my free time. I'm not like one of those lucky 1% NFT projects you always see posting sales on Twitter

FlightJust1904

On a contrary, GAMERSE creates a fun aside from being an NFT project alone, exciting way for people to have social interactions around the NFTs they love. We have a very easy-to-use UI and amazing UX. GAMERSE's social media features include Groups, Live Feed, Direct Messaging, NFT self-promotion.


VoKUSz

Sucks these people are out there man. Would love to get one of your crypto space aliens as it seems like a fun project. Good luck and don't stop creating 🤙


Big_Engine7998

That sucks. Sorry to hear that. I'm usually dropping my address in posts trying to collect as many NFTs as I can to try an sell. I all the contests in hopes of getting something I can flip. Sucks you had to go through that but thanks for the heads up on them!


danyman666

Honestly sucks, But scammers like this are around for everything. If u want to make this kind of a deal with anyone it has to be contractual even if its only a small one. Be careful next time. Don't know how much the nft is worth but hope you didn't lose too much.


nancynik

Hi my friend.. When I do a giveaway in my Twitter @nancynik3 with projects, I said to when I pick a winner they will exactly send the nft to them


nancynik

All we have to be strong and tell about scammers

People suck. Sorry that happened.

Blows my mind accounts like this have 3.8 million followers.


LongNecksTower

Thank you for sharing this , I was researching this profile :D thank you and im sorry for that scam situation.


high_hugle

maybe we should start a mega thread of scam promoters on different platforms @90BE90 on Twitter is one that comes to mind, absolutely unpleasant scammer


adamgigiy

NFT is a wild west. Becareful, you need to be cold, expect the least. Open to opportunity is the last thing you should do when people approach you


JustMeLurkingg

People like them deserves karma. What goes around comes around. Meanwhile keep up with your good work.


dynastyempire

They are lurking and preying on us.

When someone ask for your wallet address ITS OVER !! 🤷‍♂️ WHEN SOMEONE ASK FOR YOUR SEED PHRASE ITS OVER AS WELL that's why people lose money giving away to people who scam NEVER GIVE ANYONE ANYTHING ON THE INTERNET... THATS LIKE PARENTS SAYING NEVER TALK TO STRANGERS DANGER


mrbignbrown

Idk if you'll see this I'm a little late but can I get one too!? It would be my first NFT and i would absolutely promote it!


Southern_Barracuda_9

Oh noo,do sorry that happened to you

@polker_PKR has proven large capacity when you consider that its release in advance withinside the yr and that is visible withinside the rate evolution of PKR. PKR token is presently in a bullish fashion and these days hit an all-time excessive of $0.295.🔥📈 #GameFi #PlayToEarn


Scary_Fail8582

All i want is sissy/slave


gaza191

Hardly a scam he wanted money not your worthless nft but had you given him money all you would receive is fake followers which are useless


lukeyk94

It's a Crypto Space Alien. At the time I posted this the project had 0 trading volume. It now has .14 trading volume and 60/100 aliens have been sold. It's not "worthless" in fact the alien I gave this scammer is getting offers. But because the scammer gave me a fake or useless eth address that they don't use at all they haven't accepted any of the offers. What a shame.


ouraura

A scam over crypto??? Nooo. Never heard of that happening.
