First Draft Club

remember THERE ARE A LOT OF AMAZING REAL PROJECTS AND BUILDERS HERE. 
just be careful

we’ve come back to this topic again, and i think beyond just telling the story, it’s important to highlight what i did wrong and what you should pay attention to.

yes, there are scammers and fraudsters among us here too, just like bots and farmers, they easily adapt to any community and platform.
i got caught and lost my wallet with all the funds.

i shared what actions i took, why they weren’t enough, and what else could help.

I’ve been in crypto since 2018 but back in 2021 when I started learning about web3 I was scammed several times on discord. For lack of knowledge and also for FOMO! 

So now here, I’m extra careful and sorry to read how @ramina13 was scammed. I love the wallet integration to my social profile but the scammers love that too! 

Please do not engage with DMs from people you never interacted with in public. If the builder is legit they would have no problem engaging in public. I currently have over 30 DMs on the request folder, and the 2 times I went to the person profile and reply to one of their casts in public their accounts disappear! 

Again, please don’t engage with strangers in DMs, assume they are scammers! Doesn’t matter how legit the account looks. Don’t trust till verify!

Thank you for being public about your experience; must people don’t like to share about being scammed; it’s a silly stigma. If we get scammed we need to scream and point to the culprit so everyone knows!

thank you for sharing!
hope it will prevent others mistakes

Reminder: Stay Safe. The new scam meta is to impersonate well known VCs who aren’t actually on Farcaster. 

They use real name, real photo, and cast a few semi legitimate looking articles or casts to make them appear real at first glance.  But I promise you a VC like this isn’t cold DCing people on Farcaster for any reason. 

Report. Block. Stay away! Don’t get scammed. 

More details in the thread below. Be sure to look at this profile to see the effort the scammers now put into the facade.

Let’s zap them out! We can also copy and paste and post the same message in their pin post or last post for everyone else to see, this is what I did, that account doesn’t exist anymore, he probably move to another account but reading @ramina13 post makes me want to do it to every DM I get jejeje

There's a guy on my DMs that I've been ignoring, he always sends me the same copy paste message 🤣
You know, the usual "we are interested in working with you".
