Fortunately, no one got scammed, as the wallet does not shows any transaction. But his purpose is different, as he asked the user to send Ether using his MEW, which is surely a dummy page to get private keys of users so he can scam them by himself.

I just want to ask why did you post that medium link here? When i tried to open it, my metamask prevented it by saying its a phishing attempt.

It’s now going to be old school scam. Though this way is not old enough but its popularity and the % of getting scam is already started to go to zero. It’s also good that people are starting to think that money is not so easy.

Maybe the same scammers are doing this to collect  some bucks. And when this way will not give enough response them, will come with another greedy offer.

A lot of scammers will use famous crypto personalities to deceive users. That's a lot of money but I hope people are smart enough to know which one is the real deal and not. If someone encounter this kind of site, please report it immediately before anyone is victimized by these no-conscience scammers. They even have fake stat bar.  ::) ::) ::)
