Thank you Phabulu for informing us about these scammers. They are only out there to rip people of their hard earned money, especially now that people are eagerly looking for online means of making money.

I also write Crypto Scam alert articles on various platforms, but I tend to focus on shitcoin projects that are really just nothing more than Ponzi schemes in their revenue structure, like BitConnect, for example. This makes me glad to see that you are out there joining the fight against those would would take our money and leave us all without a dime if we only gave them the chance. Shining a light on these bad actors is what we need to continue to do now and in the future.

    Yeah, for certain, these guys took scammy to a whole new level, didn't they? Reminded me of low-quality, cheap-air time, old public access infomercials.
