๐จ Beware of Honeypot Scams on @CoinMarketCap ! ๐จ
Ever noticed small tokens in the Top Gainers list with 1000%+ returns in 24 hours? These can often be honeypot scams, and unfortunately, CoinMarketCap seems to do little to stop them. ๐งต๐ #CryptoScams#CoinMarketCap 1/9
For anyone doubting the severity and depravity of the mass gang rapes of little girls in Britain, go to the source material and read the court transcripts. I did.
It is worse than you could possibly imagine.
5/ Scams like these wonโt stop unless platforms like @CoinMarketCap take proactive measures to safeguard the community.
I urge you to clean up your platform, or I will escalate this matter further through the appropriate channels. #CryptoScams
๐จ Message to @CoinMarketCap ๐จ
Your platform is enabling honeypot scams by listing fraudulent tokens in the Top Gainers list. These scams trap users by allowing deposits but blocking withdrawals. Itโs time you take responsibility or face the consequences. ๐งต๐ #CryptoScams
4/ If @CoinMarketCap continues to ignore this issue, I wonโt hesitate to take further steps, including
โ๏ธ Writing an official complaint via email
โ๏ธ Exploring legal options for negligence
You have a responsibility to protect your users. Act now before itโs too late. #CryptoSafety
3/ @CoinMarketCap, take immediate action:
โ๏ธ Identify and delete honeypot tokens.
โ๏ธ Implement better safeguards to detect scam tokens.
โ๏ธ Warn users about the risks of interacting with suspicious tokens.
Your inaction is unacceptable and damages trust in the crypto space.
2/ These honeypot tokens reflect:
Unrealistic returns of 1000%+ in 24 hours.
High fake trading volumes to appear legitimate.
Yet, @CoinMarketCap does nothing to vet or remove them, putting innocent investors at risk. Ignorance is not an excuse. #CryptoAwareness
What is a honeypot token?
A honeypot token is a fake smart contract where you can deposit funds (transfer in) but canโt withdraw them (transfer out). These scams are common on #CoinMarketCap, where such tokens are frequently listed as Top Gainers. #CryptoSafety 2/9
How do these scams lure victims?
Unrealistic returns like 1000%+ in 24 hours
High trading volumes to appear legit
Prominently displayed in @CoinMarketCap Top Gainers list
CMCโs system doesnโt filter out such scams, making it easier for scammers to trap users. ๐ก #ScamAlert 3/9
Hereโs how the scam works:
You see a token showing massive gains.
You think, โThis is my chance to get rich!โ
You buy the token, but when you try to sell, you canโt.
The smart contract is one-way only. Your funds are gone, & #CoinMarketCap does nothing to prevent #CryptoTips 4/9
Why does this happen?
The scammers design the smart contract to block anyone but themselves from withdrawing funds.
Despite these being scams, #CoinMarketCap lists them as Top Gainers, providing scammers with free publicity. Shouldnโt there be better safeguards? ๐ค 5/9
How to protect yourself:
โ๏ธ Donโt trust Top Gainers blindly, especially small-cap tokens.
โ๏ธ Avoid tokens with unrealistic returns (1000%+ in a day).
โ๏ธ Verify smart contracts on tools like https://t.co/gSeipPAjej
@CoinMarketCap isnโt doing enough to protect users. 6/9
Message to @CoinMarketCap :
