"We see you have contributed to web3.py [this is true] and that you are elligible for a XYZ airdrop [or some other acronym] so please allow me to use your Github account for 10 minutes so that I can help you claim it."

Or other times its "Please give us money so that we can claim the airdrop for you."

Well, I can't believe that in 2024 scammers are still using such outdated content, at least they should find some way that is actually more credible ^^ What's even more unbelievable is that many people still continue to be scammed, lose their accounts and crypto assets to scammers because of such silly content. Be careful with any information that is actively sent to our email, as it may come with some risk. Thank you for sharing this information so that we can all be more vigilant.

I also realize that our data is being abused in some way: our emails, phone numbers, and social media accounts are being sold to scammers, we are becoming a commodity and potential victims. Just 1% of the people who receive these emails get scammed, the scammer can be satisfied and continue to attack more people in many different ways in the future

established users doesn't change much, but if we see these badges on a new user, we check posts to see if this is a spammer

I don’t know a single top exchange that doesn’t have a launch pool. For them, this is a separate source of income. It’s clear that you get more profit there than with a regular deposit. The problem is that different exchanges have different thresholds for entering these launch pools, and often just like that You won’t get them. Some wrote that it’s a risk to participate in launch pools, I haven’t heard anything stranger, what is it?

In the past, we used to hear about a hacking event every few months, but in recent years its frequency has increased rapidly.

These centralized exchanges store a lot of money in online wallets, and like you know, anything online is prone to attack and hacks. There are also rumors that some of the attacks could be inside jobs, i don't know how true that can be, but that can also be the reason why they get hacked frequently.

Crazy thing is if they don't get hacked, then they lose the money in fractional reserve 'scam' or just obvious misappropriation of funds, i.e. sbf and ftx.

E dey possible day the dude fit dey chase after some badge award, like this one way I screenshot and share below..


That na the "too active" badge, to get this badge, you have to make 25 posts in one day, I remember the day wey me decide to win this badge, that was sometime in September 2020, I spam the forum that day, no small, just for me to able to make 25 posts, I achieve am las Las Sha, even though say e no dey come with any benefit.

All in all Sha, admin don suppose remove this type of badges, because some users may decide to chase after it to earn it, and in that process, they go end up spamming.
I go post about this for forum matters later.

  Since you have been in the forum before most us you know more than us. If not the way that guy is posting was something else. But what are the functions of these badges? Though I have read them at somewhere before but I have forgotten. And as Cantsay said di guy dey post like dat for other di general boards too. We were even suspecting that the guy na bot. But thanks for the clarification.
