If you received a Discord message from "me" asking you about trading, it's fake. I don't care. I'm not that articulate. And I will never have any interest in your trading habits.
The only time I will message you is for some "official" reason, because you got phished, or because I'm interested in how your car repair went. I will never have any interest in your trades or investments. I'm barely interested in my own.
Fake
Notice the . after the name.
Monitor the market yourself. I will not monitor it for you.
Real
Note the Exode game label in support of Exode.
Verify
What do I do the moment someone comes into any chat or DMs me with some partnership or listing? Verify. "Hold on a second, we have to get you verified." There's no reason anyone legitimate will have a problem with that.
- Don't trust any account because it messaged you on Discord. Fake Khal and fake Brian of London accounts were already detected earlier. There will be others. Don't trust anyone.
- Verify. You can ask anyone claiming to have a Hive account to verify with a transaction on Hive. A scammer can't send a transaction from the real
@guiltyparties account.
- On-chain verification is the best method on Hive. It's fool-proof.
- Don't click on anything sent to you, including links to other Discords. If someone promises a partnership, screenshot it and let me know. I'll get them verified through the source.
- Discord links (invites to other Discords) will lead to various applications on those Discords (if the link is real in the first place) that are designed to obtain your account.
- Once again, verify everything. Don't trust anyone. If their feelings are hurt, screw them. No one cares about their feelings just like no one cares about your trading.
