⚡️🗣️ Good night everyone. Just before going to sleep, I’d like to share a little story I experienced today.

A guy DMs me, super polite. He says he likes my content and wants to work with me on his “platform,” offering $130 for two days. I just have to keep doing what I already do here.

He plays the serious guy: negotiating, saying he can pay in USDC, or BTC but with a 10% loss. He even slips in that I should stay neutral if I talk about elections — basically, just social engineering talk.

But here’s where the trap closes: in the end, he sends me a link to download an app — thinking I’m gonna click like a fool.

Moral of the story: don’t fall for it. Scams today are more subtle than “you’ve won an iPhone.” They flatter you, mimic professional language, try to gain your trust. They’re patient and sneaky.

This will be part of my experience. I learn every day, even when dodging a malicious person. There’s always a lesson to learn.

Watch out for your keys, your clicks, and your energy. Good night, my comrades, let’s stay sharp.

And know this: I’m loyal to Nostr. I won’t leave you. What we’re building here is worth more than any fake promise.

I remember reading somewhere that DMs on Nostr can be visible to others — so I’ll let you all be witnesses to what I experienced today. I've always been transparent with you from the start, so it's a continuity.

Thanks for the information. Basically even if it wasn't fraud it's still very immoral and I wouldn't do it. When someone offers you money but determines what you publish, you become the same as the media. They have sponsors who determine what news to run and what not to run.

How do you know for sure it was a malicious link if you didn't click on it?
