π"Congratulations- I won "π
Blog#137 no.2 February 02,2022
Congratulations is a great message, a really great word to read and to hear from everyone, it's actually a great motivation too as congratulations means achievements and success. But what if it comes from a scammer would you still be happy reading that words?
Eventually, now I'm really sleepy as I regretted that I slept late last night because of waiting for that da** announcement, gosshh!
As I joined the whitelist for the NFT giveaways of cyberdogz NFT, I open an account in discord just to be updated for their giveaway and last night was the most awaiting night for all the participants. I entered the chatroom and patiently wait for the announcement, while the other members are complaining as they still haven't received the free NFT. I sent a message to remind everyone that "patience is the key"as the admin had already remind everyone that they can't immediately sent the NFT to 1400k addressees in just one click, and everyone agrees. Then suddenly i received a reply that being verified is also the key to get the free giveaway, lol I found it sounds sarcastic, but indeed I'm thankful that I found out that I'm not yet verified. I don't use discord so I don't know what they mean, until everyone got curious if they are also verified and so the admin sent the verification link to get verified. I then click the link and successfully get verified, atlast π .
I again waited, until the admin posted the announcement that the NFT is already listed and they also posted the address for us to check, they mention that we can that NFT in our" hidden tab" in open sea.
I don't know what does it mean anyway, lol. Until I got tired of waiting as I don't even know what am I waiting for ππ€£. I have read some messages that they already bought the chair, and so I got curious, if there's really a free NFT or we really need to bought it. I just continue observing as I have also read some messages that they are still waiting for the free NFT. Not until I receive a personal message saying that I got a free NFT as I am also the chosen one, charot π€£
I was happy reading this and without any hesitation I fill out the form to claim my NFT. But after submitting it, I didn't see that display page that I successfully claim my NFT so I ask the admin of why I didn't get the ID for my NFT.
And our conversation goes like this...
The end........
All hope's and excitement are gone as it is clearly a scamπ€£π€¦. I was really annoyed and pissed off, as I've been waiting for that NFT but I just encountered the big scammer. Luckily I didn't use my wallet where I store my other crypto's, otherwise I'll be in a big trouble nowπ. Most of the time I won't deny that I'm very much negligence, so silly π .

Realization;
I realized that not all congratulations meant to be a celebration, as some of them are also meant to scam you, so before you get excited, make sure that it's not from a fake admin and make sure that you didn't use the wallet where you store your other crypto's to avoid losing them, be cautious and be aware as scammers are everywhere.
Anyway I know that everything has a gas fee but I don't think it would be has high as $80, specially if it's free πͺ. Eventually I won the eye of the scammer ππππ€£.
I'll be giving up with NFT lol. No more participation, I'm tired π.

$80 for a gas fee? That's like charging almost more than Erc tokens
