‼️ Stay Vigilant in Crypto ‼️ It finally happened: I got scammed with a meme coin! Story goes: Friend just got into crypto and told me about this coin I have never heard about so I swapped $15. The next day the value went up to $37. In 48 hours it kept doubling…so as I went I swapped a bit more and a bit more until my investment reached $120. The value kept climbing to over $400 in a few hours so I thought I would take out my initial investment. And guess what: The coin is unsellable! “Scammers trick a victim into purchasing a token. Then the scammers use the tokens contract to stop the victim from being able to sell their tokens. After the victim cannot sell their tokens the scammers remove the liquidity in the pool, this is known as a rug pull.” https://support.uniswap.org/hc/en-us/articles/17523088290573-Unsellable-token-scams Thread 👇🏼

Since I am anxious having this coin in my wallet there is nothing left for me to do than transfer it to another wallet or send it to a burn address. @rainbow provided the following burn addresses if someone runs into a similar issue: 0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000 And 0x000000000000000000000000000000000000dEaD

Also, even if you’re not a crypto newbie and use Rainbow 🌈, make sure to check out their “Learn” section under “Discover” to avoid making dumb decisions (like I did).

Another tip: Use Tokensniffer to determine if there is something iffy going on with a contract address before you proceed with a token: https://tokensniffer.com/token/8453/0xa8334525aa440a27826b915547f32f7f9d0b0503

OMG!!! I am very sorry that this unpleasant situation happened to you...thanks for sharing it, I will be more vigilant now...I recently found a strange ANON coin in my wallet, about 50$, I sold it immediately...and I still don't understand what it was and if there is any danger.
