DeFi-Scams - Big All-In-One-Thread


Last Update: 26.11.2020


DeFi (Decentralized Finance) has been on everyone's lips since the beginning of 2020 and new projects are constantly being added. Even experienced users find it difficult to keep an overview here. Unfortunately, cases of fraud in DeFi projects have also been increasing recently, because similar to the ICO hype in 2017, the DeFi hype in 2020 also attracts a large number of scammers.



The purpose of this thread is to create an overview-like list in which it should be briefly displayed whether a new DeFi project is an obvious scam. Thanks to all the users who are sharing their recent finds here on the Scam-Accussation board! You are doing an awesome job in protecting the community against these scammers:

Thanks for following my suggestion and posting a copy of original thread here.

After seeing scammers recent activities with DeFi oriented money stealing projects personally i was thinking to create a list about DeFi related scam projects but suddenly got your thread today on German board. So i thought a similar thread should be in this section for increasing entire forum users awareness. Keep giving regular updates and save newbies from getting scammed. Good luck.   

[Rikafip]

It's a good idea to have all of them in one place, good job @bullrun2020bro! Be ready to update that list quite often as those scams are getting on popularity each day and it doesn't look like it will pass anytime soon.

One would think that people learned something from ICO bubble, but as we can see situation is even worse as scams without whitepaper, team and any original idea are raising millions. Back then some of those ICOs at least have appearance of legitimacy while this is on a completely different level.

[notblox1]

Good idea bullrun2020bro, but you would need many pages to list all defi scams, because they are showing up every minute and this is worse than ICO scams back in the days.
This is only hurting all healthy crypto space in the long run, but people are greedy and don't care as long as they make profit.

Thanks for your kind words guys, i will try to keep the thread up to date all the time and will constantly add new finds to the list. Hopefully we can protect as many users as possible from these filthy scammers.

If you guys have any other suggestions for the list, please let me know. I am happy to add them!

[The Sceptical Chymist]

Thanks for your kind words guys, i will try to keep the thread up to date all the time and will constantly add new finds to the list.

Yes, please do try to keep it updated--and it's unfortunate that it's a list that's going to keep on growing, but I think we all know that's a fact.  How long the list will eventually get will depend on how the DeFi space develops.  I'm really hoping that it doesn't follow the course of the ICO boom and bust and that there's actually something of substance to DeFi.  As of this moment I'm not convinced there's anything of real value to it, and there's certainly a lot of hype.

One would think that people learned something from ICO bubble, but as we can see situation is even worse as scams without whitepaper, team and any original idea are raising millions.

Scammers only learn how to scam better, and the suckers....well, they never seem to learn, no matter how many times they've been scammed.  All the hype surrounding DeFi--that's why those projects can raise millions.  Everyone wants in on the new thing that's going to make them rich.  That part of the story is the same no matter what thing we're talking about, and people don't seem to realize that it's nearly impossible to become wealthy without much effort. 

Ah, well.  We'll see how long this list gets.  I'm going to bookmark it.

I have made Scam Accusations about YFIO Protocol and they did a plagiarized whitepaper

[WARNING] YFIO Protocol Plagiarized Whitepaper

[rdbase]

This is a very good thread to put up so I thank you for this bullrun2020bro!

Uniswap just put up their tokens yesterday ($UNI) and there are a few youtubers who have reported about users are eligible to receive up to $1500 in tokens from them if they have used their platform ending on September 9th.
Can you verify this and if it is a scam or not?

Here are the two youtubers I have viewed about this so called airdrop far:

Thanks a lot for sharing your finds with the community! I will add YFIO to the list.

Well done, bullrun2020bro. Great list, made a Russian adaptation of this useful topic.

That sounds great! Hopefully nobody from your local community will fall for these DeFi scams. I also added the DeFi-clone of the TON project you just posted to the OP. Thanks a lot for sharing it here!

Uniswap just put up their tokens yesterday ($UNI) and there are a few youtubers who have reported about users are eligible to receive up to $1500 in tokens from them if they have used their platform ending on September 9th. Can you verify this and if it is a scam or not?

I can't tell if the original UNISWAP airdrop is legit or not, since I didn't take part it in. But please beware, there are already a few UNISWAP airdrop scams around, e.g.:

[SCAM] Fake Uniswap giveaway
[SCAM Alert] 10,000,000 UNI Fake Giveaway

Note: Never share your private key or send any funds to participate in an airdrop!


I updated the thread and added the following projects:

18/09/2020

• added YFIO Protocol (Whitepaper Plagiarism)
• added TON (DeFi-oriented clone of the TON project)

I won't have time to update the list on the weekend, so please expect the next update on Monday/Tuesday.

I can't tell if the original UNISWAP airdrop is legit or not, since I didn't take part it in. But please beware, there are already a few UNISWAP airdrop scams around

Uniswap airdrop is legit, few friends of mine claimed the tokens and sold them via Binance. Everyone that used Uniswap until September 1st is eligible for 400 UNI tokens. Some people claimed thousands of UNI tokens as you were eligible for each wallet you use, so for example if you connected 10 wallets to Uniswap until the deadline, you got 4000 UNI combined. At the moment 1 UNI=6 USD , so it's not a surprise that there are scam attempts using this occasion.

That's what scammers do, they quickly adapt and always try to exploit latest craze/hype/airdrop/giveaway. After all, that's why we have this thread now, but I'm afraid that this is just the beginning and will go on for the some time, until enough people loose the money and everything falls apart, like in the ICO time.
