Scam link:
https://telegra.ph/Ripple-XRP-AIR-DROP-02-03-3


They are even involving our valuable forum user, hodor7777

Can you share with us where did you found that link? It looks like the scam posts and fake " airdrop announcements" on Instagram, some time ago...

One of telegram crypto groups...admin did his job and its gone now, but I can screenshot it because it'll probably be posted
somewhere again 8saw it 3-4 times already)

Are you talking about this member; Hodor7777 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1087658)
How are they involving him?

FWIW I've archived the proof of the webpage's scam in case anyone wants to reference it later:  Archive [1a (https://archive.ph/gOd5d)], [1b (https://web.archive.org/web/20200203220039/https://telegra.ph/Ripple-XRP-AIR-DROP-02-03-3)]

;D

Thats the name he mentioned and the OP will definitely need a strong evidence to back him claim because i dont see any things that connected the mentioned user to the scam activity.


Though I'm not XRP enthusiast neither will i advise anyone to invest in the coin but I went through the archived page and I'm sure this is not from XRP because the scam strategy wrote on the site was been used by a crypto scammer before. Besides, i don't see any reason why XRP will want to spoil their own project.

I think it's better to include some screenshots to make your post more illustrative other than just linking to the scam and expecting everyone figure out why on their own.

They are exposed already so if people will still fall in this trap then they are a willing victim, I will not participate in an airdrop that asks for donations, an airdrop is an airdrop never a donation, there are so many of these everywhere, people should be stopped being greedy and do the right thing and that is research or ask the community.

Simple rule, and never fails

I haven't find any link between this user (hodor777) and the fake airdrop.
Please note he is not active from June 2019 (twitter) and October 2019 (bitcointalk forum).
So probably if some one use the same nickname on telegram (or some sounding similar), unless you see a message signed, you are talking just with an impostor .

Its mentioned on provided link, user Stalker22 even copy/pasted that part in this thread, and you still fail to find any link  ???

Anyway, at least something good came out of that scam attempt, I found out what happened with Hodor

Are you serious or what?
it's just cited as one of  "the content creators" in the fake platform. it's enough to be part of that scam?
Have you find a message quoted by him or any activity made by this user related the fake airdrop?
if it was cited also theymos... even him was another scammer involved in?

Thanks for share a fake airdrop, but please don't accuse people with this useless proof.

Scammers only need a small percentage of users to fall for their scam for it to be profitable.  There's no way to warn others on external sites - all we can do here is document and warn.

English is nor your primary language, I suppose?

I said SCAMMERS involved him by using his name, not that he is part of scam by himself

In a same way as if I'd say they involved Brad Garlinghouse and Riley Q

LOL. I suppose you can't argument your thesis without being offensive.


show me the proof about hodor as a scammer, and then I will accept your english lesson. for sure you can't teach logic :)
since you're spreading false accusation and offense against 2 users, I think now it's enough.

Thanks again for your help!

I really think you didn't understand his post correctly: he did not accuse anyone, he said the fake airdrop misuses names of known users to advertise their scam. Simple as that. :)

As I understand his post in your archived link: they (the scammers) are involving him (hodor, passive, without his consent).

@allyouracid
Thanks for your message. Ok I have misinterpreted the whole topic.
But as you can see below, I asked before "how" hodor was linked in that scam (likewise if he was creating content/promoting the fake airdrop).
This is the reason I have not see any connection (or any real connection) between hodor and the fake airdrop.
