Ahhh, it is been a while since I have seen one of these in my comment section. Just every now and then the phase starts again where the scammers are just having a go for it to see who will bit in there.

After all, the word 'airdrop' always is just appealing and feels for everyone like free money. Nowadays I have more of the feeling that everything that already smells like an airdrop will just be some kind of scam.

After all, years ago I fell for this and lost a bunch of HIVE with exactly something like this, but that was in the time where the amount of scams felt a lot less than now.






Luckily this scammer has been downvoted into oblivion already, but it would be nice if them some kind of script would be there that would automatically had replied on this comment that this is a scam and you should not click on this, and also should never leave your keys anywhere.

You know the obvious....But it isn't so obvious when you are just starting out and thinking this is nice helpful community where everything is cumbajaaaaa





On another note

Did you see anything lately on the ledger where in official reseller devices reading cameras were installed to 'see' what was being broadcasted and use that to steal the keys? I call that some high tech scamming in there.

But also our AI related buddies who are automatically searching for any kind of security breaches and they will dig in there and find whatever you may still have hanging loose security wise.

Mennn..It feels so double sided on the digital world at the moment. On the one hand I can use all kinds of scripts that are making my life a lot easier and taking out all super easy kinds of tasks. One the other hand, the safe side isn't getting any safer in this digital world, and it is almost difficult to manoeuvre through it. And that is coming from someone who grew up in this time of digital transactions...

Imagine when you are just stepping in there or was late to the party...The competition is just a couple of steps further down already in all of this.

I mean, I still see a lot of people here who only have a house phone and literally are not doing anything mobile or digital. What happens when they step in with their good intentions. This feels like one of those text messages of 'hey mom, I'm in trouble, so could you borrow me some money? Send it to this account, because I can't use my regular bank account at the moment'.

But then in the great big ol' blockchain world, which is getting more and more the same. Why can't we all just get along?

Stay safe amigos in this digital world!
