here's how it went from my perspective: > shadi worms her way into my feed > starts encouraging me (softly, but persistently) to get hyped > keeps trying to get me hyped (I don't lol) > finally shares the website; as promised, I read it > ask Shadi to remove Degen iconography (hats everywhere) > she seems weirdly desperate for my approval and for DEGEN's participation; I decline, pending an actual product and not just some ponzu with extra steps > she removes Degen logo (mostly) from website > I promise to revisit JRI once they have a... product... and not just a dubious financing mechanism. > fast forward a couple of weeks, the project is doing well ostensibly (ie, the token price is up only for /reasons/) > shadi circles back around to me for an "investment of 10k" > I decline, again. Something is... off. Either they're incompetent or... > they rug

Shadi asked me to help but it felt off so never followed up after initial greetings. Glad to see my crypto spider sense is getting better.

it was a long con, too. as far as crypto goes. i had engaged with shadi for a couple months prior to ever hearing of JRI, so i joined the discord but told her/them i couldn't endorse the project, wished best of luck, thought that was that. then i saw a fake endorsement with my name on it. which was mixed emotions -- on one hand, SCAM BAD! on the other, hey look ma, i made it! ;) glad you avoided any losses

Smelled that shit happening from a mile away. I honestly didn't even respond to her initial DC. Hard pass. Seems like a lot of work for whatever they rugged, a low 5 figure amount most likely?

does the channel really start with "EASY MONEY!! ASSURED GAINS!!" ... and we looked into it beyond that? 👀

Flipping heck... She reached out to me to help them do some info graphics for their roadmap a while back. I'm pretty busy with my own projects at the mo and I don't like been connected with any financial hypes so thankfully I gave it a miss. Also seeing Latin placeholders on their site after clicking read more was a bit of a red flag but I am a little surprised as "She" seemed genuine.

uhh. and I thought I was weird when I got an "something is off" feeling when I heard them in various farhouse spaces some time ago. ngl glad I was busy the last weeks irl… helped dodging that one & am sorry for the ones affected by this. this is why we can’t have nice things. bad actors weaseling their way in 🥹

…. is it a good or bad sign that this is my first time hearing about “JRI” (and still don’t know what it is) 🤣

Are there really a lot of scammers here? I'm a newbie in here, there are so many things to watch out for that I'm worried.

Yep, looks like it. Token arriving before even a small mvp of a product is always a bad sign. Asking for investment when there's clearly been no spend to date is an even worse sign. Glad you spotted the red flags at least, have seen plenty of smart people get swindled by dipshits like that. 400 $degen

They actually went behind everyone's back saying this approved one is on the list. She came to me saying ohh some good people are joining i "maybe i recall she mention you several times" had no time to read the whole form although it seemed sus. I've took a risk with the 10k $JRI and got rugged cz i was lazy. Happy to say i learned a /lessoninthere

I didn't get contacted by shadi, but another one of the team who used a banana profile picture they asked me to read their project, telling me it was something like gofundme. I replied saying "This isn't a crowd funding platform. This is a crowd fund" He replied, "It's okay. The 10 OGs would never steal .1e" and I stopped communication. I should have spoken out about it, apparently

A few weeks back I was engaged to assist with their Japanese interpretation on their X space as a job which I took on light heartedly. The operation seemed chaotic at best, with even organising a time to congregate for the Space was down to the wire. While I did seperate myself from the project and stated I was not involved in the project and was just translating, I still have my name tagged in their posts which is a bit of a blemish on my records now. Oh well Also, I’m still to receive any remuneration, but I can chalk that up to experience I guess. I had an inkling maybe nothing would come of it, and I think those feelings were pretty much right on.
