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.

I know someone who clicked on the link but the .exe file wasn't executed because of windows 11 protections. Is the computer compromised ? How to clean it ?

I’m not sure because I haven’t seen the exact software but I’d assume it needs a clean install and it’s possible the back up is affected. Some of these are keyboard loggers and some are even more malicious to take control and execute transactions with your wallet. Assume the worst case scenario.
