Love the scammers , always the same strategy. I think we soon will see AI agents doing their jobs.
Stay safe out there. This "VC" tried to make us install some dodgy AI video conference app, presumably for translation, but this is definitely a wallet drainer
The initial shock/fear associated with these fake Pegasus email scams wears off after you get about 10 of them.

I have received 5 of these in the last two weeks. Sent to 2 active email addresses, the body includes my name, address, phone number and the attachment theoretically includes a ransom note and a picture of my house.
Here starts the trials of trying to scrub my contact info from the internet.

I got the Pegasus email scam today with a grainy older picture of my home obviously from Google Earth and a demand for money. I admit for a split second my husband and I were freaked out until we did further research. Have you heard of this one? https://www.malwarebytes.com/blog/news/2024/09/hello-pervert-sextortion-scam-includes-new-threat-of-pegasus-and-a-picture-of-your-home

Stay away from this account or any other related to the video game Silent Down Metaworld.
They are well-spoken and give convincing rebuttals to scam related questions.
I was asked to write music for the game and we had a decent conversation over a few days.
They said they want me to take sound samples from the game to use in the music.
I found out from other people that they run a virus when you download the game.
I know not to download stuff, but I was almost led into it because of the rapport-building long game they played.
Stay skeptical and stay safe.

Hey eclipse viewers! Be careful out there, I'm seeing lots of info about fake eclipse glasses, scam hotel deals and more. Buyer beware!
98% chance this is a scam. A guy on here named yolo-eth is messaging people for "collaboration" on it.
Be very weary of any game that says it's in early access and requires a code to download. I would stay away from any NFT game that requires a download unless its on a platform like Steam.

I hope Youtube loses this suit. I'm so tired of seeing ads on there for blatant crypto scams.

Another fake NFT game/metaverse is being spread here on FC. This one is similar to the last one I posted in here a couple days ago. This time the scammer is @henrysd678
Watch out for these as the scammers typically will say they are looking for testers, discord mods and paid posts....
