Got hit with the classic crypto scam playbook today:
Scammer: "Wanna collab? $5k/month ambassador role"
Me: "Sure, send official socials"
*Does basic checks, looks legit*
Scammer: "Let me add my partner to the chat"
*New guy joins*
"Everything good? Join this call link so I can send payment"
🚩 RED FLAG 🚩
The moment I saw "click link to call for payment" I stopped.
Me: "Nah. Telegram voice call or nothing"
Him: "Ok will schedule"
Zero chance I'm clicking random links for "calls". Got drained once in 2023 doing exactly that — joined some sus link, finished the call, wallet emptied. Never again.
PSA: If someone pushes you to join external links for "verification" or "payment calls", it's a drain attempt. Always use native platform calls. Stay paranoid, stay liquid.
