Guys, be careful and don't fall for such offers. 
Scammers never sleep(( Read this 👇🏻

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.

The Anatomy of a Farcaster Scam (and how to avoid them)

1. An account you’ve most likely never interacted with will send you a DC. 
2. The DC will compliment you or your work and ask for some type of collaboration, consulting job, testing, etc. 
3. If you reply, they may throw out a large number for compensation and ask to have a call to discuss terms. 
4. Usually, right before the agreed meeting time, something will go horribly wrong. The Google Meet or Zoom link they sent won’t work. 
5. You will panic. 
6. They will pressure you that if you can’t meet in the next few minutes, they will need to move to the next candidate on the list. 
7. But magically they will have a solution: they have another video conferencing tool that you can download right now and they know it works. 
8. You click the link without a second thought. 
9. You’ve been scammed and now they drain your wallet with malicious software. 

Let’s show a real life example.
