My Adventures as a Crypto Bounty Hunter: Dumbest Scammers Edition Part1

Today I'm going to share with you some stories about the dumbest scammers I have encountered while working as a crypto bounty hunter. Once again, I would like to thank you all for the positive vibes sent on previous posts and if you have any questions make sure to comment and I'll help you out!

​

The Investment Guru

While working on behalf of a client, I encoutered a scammer who remained anonymous while pitching the next big thing in the energy sector to a client. This scammer happened to have a revolutionary techonology that used crypto and renewables combined. They only needed a small investment of 100,000 USD to kickstart the venture. Obviously, after receiving the funds they disappeared - while leaving a trace! Not only was I immediately able to link them to a KYC, I found their opensea account and their .eth address were linked to a twitter account. Safe to say they didn't keep the funds for long.

The Greedy God

I encoutered an address who had stolen 500+ BNB and used a common service called Tornado Cash which makes transactions hard to trace (but not impossible). The tornado cash service allows you to deposit 100BNB at a time in the contract to later withdraw - the thing is, you need to pay for fees, so if you have exacly 500 BNB you can only deposit 400BNB because the remaining amount will be something like 98BNB. This scammer got greedy, and after all that carefulness, he took the remaining funds and transfered it to his main wallet, awarding him the Greedy God tag in my heart.
