PSA: There is no such thing as "Cardano Giveaways". Look inside for basic security/safety tips.

Landed here from a notification in the wallet.

I'd like to see a dummy system for wallets so that new adopters can practice without risking their money.

Just a thought.

That is an interesting project. An effective way to flag the bad guys and a sign that this community really cares about their coin holders. I suppose that also gives more credibility to the coin.

Sounds a bit like boil the ocean to me. How complex is it to just train people to refuse free something if you send something of value, ADA or whatever, in? I certainly don't see it as this or any communities responsibility to find all such and heavy handily watch all spends and warn people. I would consider that monitoring and "keeping me safe" a paternalistic anti-feature personally. Don't we get enough of that from companies that want to keep us secure by limiting what we can do on our own devices and phoning home to double check?

Anyone with half a brain knows this would be a scam? I don't ever go for anything free unless its from the official website.

I am afraid there is nothing we can do. The only thing we recommend is to file a police report.

I saw these commercials advertised on youtube in my recommended feed and they were live with a video of charles and an overlay on how to give away ada to get double back.

With youtube working as an editor with their selective censorship of content, they have a duty to not pass on scams like that. Perhaps sue them and a channel that hosted the video (whose host is awol for sure) and attack the deep pocket of google. If it is small enough maybe even they settle to avoid fighting it out.

Same here. I'm devastated. That was a lot of money I just pissed down the drain. Fuck.

It is included in the message Automod instantly posts to new topics

and it's linked to the Daedalus wallet...evidently, I mean, that's how I meandered in here.

Yes, the fact that youtube allows scams in ads is disgusting really. They're being sued by Ripple and Steve Wozniak for the scams.

It's been removed. Good work!

Removed. Good work!

This is a great idea. And perhaps the icon itself could say “All Daedalus wallets on store are fake” so the user can see it in their search results.

Maybe these scammers need a good old fashioned dick slappin from the Blue Vein Mangler

I'm also wondering the same. I already signed up for it and am worried
