The Anatomy of a Farcaster Scam (and how to avoid them) 1. An account you’ve most likely never interacted with will send you a DC. 2. The DC will compliment you or your work and ask for some type of collaboration, consulting job, testing, etc. 3. If you reply, they may throw out a large number for compensation and ask to have a call to discuss terms. 4. Usually, right before the agreed meeting time, something will go horribly wrong. The Google Meet or Zoom link they sent won’t work. 5. You will panic. 6. They will pressure you that if you can’t meet in the next few minutes, they will need to move to the next candidate on the list. 7. But magically they will have a solution: they have another video conferencing tool that you can download right now and they know it works. 8. You click the link without a second thought. 9. You’ve been scammed and now they drain your wallet with malicious software. Let’s show a real life example.

I know someone who clicked on the link but the .exe file wasn't executed because of windows 11 protections. Is the computer compromised ? How to clean it ?

Great thread, as always! We should always be careful about anything that requires us to rush, from interview links to mints and whatever else. Allow ourselves time to think and check and all. Better late than sorry!

I get this scammy shit all the time. Good thing is I know my content isn’t that good enough for a pay cheque, so jokes on them. Never fall for it.

I used to get contacted by these scammers when I was PR'ing NFT on X. Thn same thing happening in the WC. A few times, a small amount of Warp was sent along with a large number of reactions from an account that had recently been freshly created. All of them are different accounts. Of course I ignored those, but is this another gateway to fraud?

You can stop at step 1, every single random direct cast is a scam. Some are just spam, but all are a giant waste of your time.
