Uniswap Does It Again?? Part 2: The Outcome

Uniswap Does It Again?? Part 2: The Outcome

By Jelly Fish | cryptofun | 6 Nov 2020


Not so long ago I made a post about some UNI airdrop I found in Twitter. I mentioned that it would be extremely strange to see Uniswap messing with Twitter and Telegram airdrops. Other people also pointed out that it must be yet another Twitter/Telegram airdrop scam.

And it turned out to be a scam indeed. When the withdrawal day came, it started to beg for money:

There have been many fake referrals in our bot.So we filter our members.If you want to be qualified member for withdrawal,you have to pay a very small amount.However, keep in mind that it is not a withdrawal fee at all.It is just a small payment for real member verification.

I'm not going to explain why such statement is a complete bullshit. I can only tell that such statements indicate 100% probability of scam.

But the most interesting thing is here at Etherscan. It's the scammer's ETH address -- and 400+ incoming transactions of 0.004 ETH each made by happy participants, they're still sending their ETHs to this shithole! The scammers also provided addresses for payments in TRX and other coins, I didn't bother to check, but I believe the happy participants are paying there as well.

Holy shit, guys...
