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.

Thanks for the heads-up. Recently deleted a DM from someone saying something along the lines of: "You come off as an ambitious person and very suitable for a high-earning opportunity. Let's talk if this is something that interests you." Remember guys, it's 99/100 a scam if such "opportunities" are too good to be true or privately offered to you.

Thank you for this well explained thread! I often check my requests and that same acc has sent me a dc which I ignored because the compliments about my acc were too grand lol, And now reading your thread wow they really work hard with these scams cause they genuinely seem very legit. Hopefully we all learn from this and remember not to engage with anything doubtful

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 get this scammy shit all the time. Good thing is I know my content isn’t that good enough for a pay cheque, so jokes on them. Never fall for it.

I used to get contacted by these scammers when I was PR'ing NFT on X. Thn same thing happening in the WC. A few times, a small amount of Warp was sent along with a large number of reactions from an account that had recently been freshly created. All of them are different accounts. Of course I ignored those, but is this another gateway to fraud?

You can stop at step 1, every single random direct cast is a scam. Some are just spam, but all are a giant waste of your time.

You know what is funny 😂 I was getting these scam dms when my only content was sharing frames 🤣 Them saying "your work is truly astonishing" to my frame share content was hilarious 😂 I was like "I didn't do shit and they found it astonishing"
