❤️🩹 Dear Scammers, I don't have money, so it's not worth your time to scam me. There are plenty of "crypto traders", "Instagram influencers", and other scam bags like yourself that you can f%*ck with pleasure and earn money. Thanks for your attention.
For everyone else 🧵👇

For last month, there were at least four attempts to scam me via impersonation + numerous attempts to scam other people pretending to be me.
Tbh, I'm disappointed and tired of this shit already.
It's a kind of pleasure for sure, that someone thinks that it's worth their time, but, seriously, do better research

How it was:
1. 2 times people impersonated as VCs employees, who wanted to invest in @dRPCorg and scheduled calls with me "to know more".
2. 2 times it was different "Media" to make "editorial content with me".
Below, I will highlight "red flags" that could help to identify this shit:

1. People use "too excited expressions" about you or your project.
2. They are quite pushy to share something with you. Like info or obviously any links.
3. Invitations in their Calendly (yes, they have real calendly accounts), don't have their email in Attendies. Or the email is not in the corporate domain.
4. The way of communication is not professional. No, they even know some terminology for sure. But the way of communication and organizational skills show you that they are quite "inexperienced" or at least their declared status doesn't match their behaviour.

My recommendations:
1. Don't click on links from guys who just wrote you in TG or X. Sounds quite obvious, but still, I don't think that you expect to be hacked via "Calendly"/"Zoom" link. But it could happen.
2. Don't schedule calls with strangers' Calendly, give them yours.
3. Check the name, photo, and other information on the Internet at least.
4. Ask to participate in calls with you only from corporate domains' emails. In the majority of cases, from personal emails, it will be scammers. For normal people, usually it's not a problem to log in properly.
5. If you are already on the call, ask to turn on video.
Stay safe! 🙏
Below is an example of one of the scammers:

I got a message in X from "Kevin Dwyer" with "verified Blue Mark" (thanks @elonmusk it's really "helpful nowadays). And 1k followers + around the same Following (first "red flag").
The message was quite ok, he impersonated as @CoinMarketCap reporter. And even knew words like "editorial content", etc.
But after 3 attempts of scamming, I decided to check again my recommendations above:
1. In a Google Calendar event with a Link to a Zoom meeting, his corporate email was again missing.
2. I checked CoinMarketCap website, and such guys are actually there as reporter. But his last articles were "months ago".
3. I checked his profile pic on Google, and found that 2 more accounts have or had the same photo.
4. I checked LinkedIn, and this guy stopped working in CMC more than 4 years ago.
So, be careful.
