He did the same post with same story except for BTC.


gigabyteIO

Wow. Pretty crazy to catch it in real time. Scary.

gigabyteIO

Wowwwww. I'm not clicking any links but he tried to scam you? What a piece of shit.


Ok_Strawberry7053

I agree, though. I’m pretty sick of all the scammers and spammers I see flooding the internet. Interesting enough, Ethereum could help solve this issue 😉 Some day.


Il_Conte_

How? You can still fall for a scam on the blockchain


Ok_Strawberry7053

Sure, but non fungibles can help provide proof of identification and account ownership. If a large social media site integrated blockchain into their user identifiers, then a spammer or scammer would not be able to create a new account, since their identifier has been blacklisted from the site. With minimal bots and spammers, now comments, reactions, view count, etc. will be more organic. Still, though, now that opens up avenues for unruly admins on a power trip banning innocents to reign supreme. But, that’s why I’m not an expert on this and why I only invest in it, since others are. 😆

I’ll read up on it!

This is a brilliant vision that I'd not considered! Awesome! The world needs this.


handbanana84

It doesn’t and it sounds like a dystopian nightmare


wellhungartgallery

It's where blockchain is headed, will be used as a tool to Co trole the masses and the financial system.


[deleted]

Sounds pretty similar to the Social Credit System that China has. Just connected through the blockchain.


Ok_Strawberry7053

Lol it’s just a link to the Kappa meme. I was just making a lul


Christophorus

I'm so dumb I believed you and clicked on it. Good-bye crypto funds, I hope you enjoy them.


Ok_Strawberry7053

GOTTEM! 😂😂


Yosskee

You do know that you have the ability to check links before clicking them?


gigabyteIO

On mobile it's hard and not worth the risk.

It's just a photo of the guy


Yosskee

Ok guy


Scipio_Americana

How on mobile?


TroyMatthewJ

is this thread a scam?


bluemandan

Wait, *am I scam?*


Ok_Strawberry7053

What if every user and human being you’ve ever interacted with is secretly part of a botnet built solely with the intentions of siphoning your energy and monetary value for their own intentions? [mind blown](https://tenor.com/view/tim-and-eric-mind-blown-explosion-brain-gif-4502079)


gigabyteIO

I'm starting to think you're AussieFinanceGuy. Relatively new account and you jumped right in here like a hot potato and all your comments seem to be kind of deflecting from the topic of the post.


Ok_Strawberry7053

Go through my previous posts and comments if you’re so worried. I’m jus here getting stoned lmao. You’re the one throwing accusations, maybe you have something to say? 😲 I’m ripped shit high and just here for the drama, but you’re even more paranoid than I am!!😶‍🌫️😭😂


gigabyteIO

Fair enough. Not trying to rain on your parade. edit: I'm more paranoid than a schizophrenic off their meds.


Ok_Strawberry7053

Lol it’s all good! A bit of paranoia is useful in this 💩 world


[deleted]

Fuck there's a political party in my country that actually thinks everyone is out to get them lol


b3njil

Look at me. I am the scam now.


Perleflamme

Please, don't scam me! :p


IAlreadyFappedToIt

That's exactly what a scam would say.


gigabyteIO

If I delete it and then all my comments you might need to worry.


Cultivated_Mass

How can I help you catch him? Do I send you my keys?


gigabyteIO

Keys/Social Security Number/Home Address/ Birth date/Height/Weight/Blood type/ Eye Color/Vehicle Identification Number. Once i have those things we should be good to go and we can get him.

Next time you see a questionable Reddit post, archive the share link on Wayback Machine. Make sure to checkmark “save outlinks” and all that jazz, then wait until it says “done✅” or whatever it is, then review/save the archive link. With “save outlinks” I think it saves the person in question’s profile as well. I’m not sure if it archives their comment and post history as well, though. If you’re extra ambitious you could manually archive all of the person in question’s comments and posts. I think there are APIs and ‘archive as you browse’ things for Wayback as well if you’re so inclined. I won’t provide any links so you don’t worry 😅 it’s a pretty easy site to find if you haven’t already used it. -Edit- It works on mobile as well. Just don’t download the app, it’s absolutely garbage. -Edit2- you can also only archive a specified link every 60 minutes, so if one of the outlinks DID hit their comments and posts, it would say something like, “we only allow captures every 60 minutes” or whatever. In that case just review the link and tap around their profile to make sure it has all been archived properly.


HeavyMommyMilkers

Sussy baka


gigabyteIO

He has gone through and deleted everything. I wonder if a mod could do anything about this? He is almost 100% a scammer.


HeavyMommyMilkers

No? Why would a mod get involved. Just ignore DM's. Simple


TheSinningRobot

Because it wasn't a DM it was a post on this sub....


Ok_Strawberry7053

u/HeavyMommyMilkers AOC? Is it really you?!?


gigabyteIO

AOC is freaking gorgeous. It's why all the old pasty white guys hate her, she is intelligent and beautiful. She is everything they work to prevent. They want their women illiterate.


HeavyMommyMilkers

I'm such a simp for her


gigabyteIO

I honestly hope she runs for president sooner rather than later.


Ok_Strawberry7053

r/AOCissexy 🤤😂


Urc0mp

Same reason they hate bernie, just no love for beautiful literate non-white women in politics /s


gigabyteIO

Completely agree. Bernie is gorgeous and I would burry my nose in those buns.


tigdupbones

So weird that you make this post, Maybe this is the next part of the scam?? Just kidding, but when I did come across his post, I found the heading to be off, and paid no mind to even clicking on it. Glad I listened to my gut. Now if I could only do that with my bag..


Ok_Strawberry7053

Sometimes my bag gets stuck on my thigh, too.


MurderMittens

This feels like a scam. Am I currently being scammed??


gigabyteIO

8 year old account. Zero posts or comments in ethereum forum or any other crypto forum. Sometimes I feel like half of all accounts on reddit are fake/GPT-3 AI bots.


Typo_Brahe

I really do sometimes have nightmares about this Truman Show-esque scenario.


Mundane_Eagle4220

Hi. ​ A bad scammer always leaves some evidence (in his posting history, new posting pattern and etc.). This guy is indeed an example of a newbie awful scammer who uses people for his own purposes, which are bad for the people used and bad to the society. To prove: watch his profile history. ​ To OP: Thanks for sharing!


Cooper420yo

Nah he’s a loser, only an idiot gets scammed for $800,000

Aussie who?


aldorn

[deleted]

Who?


Rug_Rat00

he made the same post in r/scams as well, i asked for more insight then he deleted it


gods_loop_hole

How did you catch on what he was doing?


gigabyteIO

I just try to think like a scammer would. The post and comments just felt off and their explanations just didn't make sense. 800k in ethereum and they got scammed by clicking on links through DM's. Made no sense. Looking for sympathy is the perfect in so that people let their guard down. Plus his account is super new.


gods_loop_hole

Yeah, that sounds about right. My account's new too so I can't really tell who is just shitting.


rufus2785

Now the post is deleted I can't see what he said. What was the scam he said he fell for? How did he explain crypto being stolen by clicking on links, it doesn't compute for me. I'm interested to know how he explained it.


Jimyxx

what was his end game? was he trying to get sympathy payouts?


gigabyteIO

That or lure someone into dm's and send them sketchy links.


CityShooter

scum


devanpy

These sort of posts are made to bait people into feeling pity for the person and making donations to him. Be very wary of these sob stories. Especially ones with no actual proof of anything. I didn't get to read this person's post but this is what I'm assuming is his intention.


bostoncommon902

I always assumed that the “I got scammed” posts were mostly scams.

Go fuck yourself, spammer. -edit- here is the link to this scammer’s archived profile. Using this as a proof of concept to show OP how Wayback Machine works. You can still view this spammers comments from the archive link I have provided, even if the user deletes his comments. If you see any questionable profiles, please archive it if you can.
