A painful loss

[Fesatmas]

There is no loss that is not painful, this should be a lesson for you so that the same incident does not happen again. The risk of losing money is very big here, especially in projects that are just emerging, the risk is many times compared to projects that are already running.
You are not careful in analyzing yes you will lose money. I pray for the best for you to be better and not to experience the same thing again in the future.

imo it is much safer to invest through some of the known launchpad we have in the space this days, reason why is most of the vetting of this new project are already being done by the launchpad you decided to use, so you can a little bit be assured you are not walking into a straight scam, the only down side of this launchpad is you must hold their tokens and be in a tier to participate, still way better than taking unnecessary risk. i hope you will recover your loss from another reputable project soon.

I feel sorry for your loss, unfortunately this field has become full of scam projects especially in games and metaverses, it is not always easy to find red flags in such projects because they are very professionally made by scammers, they seem to learn from their past mistakes and it is not easy to detect their scams, recently I saw many scam projects that appeared on Coinmarket and they collapsed within a few days. Anyway, the site is still working so far and the token is in circulation, but its price collapsed and the liquidity is little. You should try to sell your tokens at the best price in order to reduce your loss.

I lost 430$ to a metaverse scam project yesterday, the project looks a lot like a professional job to me, everything was so detailed that you can't easily smell any rug pull, here is the project's website https://markmeta.finance/ but unfortunately it's a scam project, you can buy but you can't sell so here are what I find out

1. The price of this token kept surging and surging, there was no retrace or whatsoever which to me is a red flag, the whole chart was a straight line aiming for the moon.

2. Telegram channel was restricted, no one can make comments or send messages, another red flag that I don't get suspicious over

It's too late already but hope someone learn one or two lessons from this

That's the reason that i avoid investment in new metaverse projects. Why do we need to experiment and invest in new projects when we already have many good metaverse projects like Mama or Sand.

I guess you are referring to mana there, yeah, there are many already well known metaverse projects in the market for anyone who is interested in investing in the ecosystem instead of looking for something new, but the difference between investing in new than already existing project is that with new projects you have a high chance to x10 or more than buy mana or sand at current price (although very risky) but chances of huge profit is high, i believe this is what most investors consider before joining this new projects.

I am sorry to hear that you have been victim of a scam Op. I have never heard about this project before and i have not really looked into it if it really is a scam or if you did somethign wrong but it definitely sounds like you have been ripped of here and i have to say that 430$ is a serious amount of money even if you are from a first world country. I already said this before but i really think that the whole metaverse hype is slowly but surely reaching it's height or is maybe even beyond that and this is the reason why we see so many new metaverse projects out there at the moment. Of course only a handful of those 100's that are launching now will be successful in the end, so be careful.

dear bro, my suggests are following:
1.You should use some tools for deep survey about your interested project. For me, I am using similarweb to check website traffic.
2. Definitely you should check team. Must be open
3. Had better it is backed by some famous investing org.
4.. If you are sure everything is ok, just use your spare money to invest.

It should be suspected, the telegram channel was restricted so as not to open conversations that exposed the fraud that had been planned so that members of the community who had expertise in address contract investigations could not comment because they were not allowed to post if the channel settings had been restricted.

I am sorry for your loss. Hopefully, you will recover your losses from another project that will not scam you. You have your lesson, and I hope you don't invest in an unknown project that you really don't know. You already saw that the website could be a good looking website to invite more investors to invest in their project, but unfortunately, they scam all of those people, including you. You don't need to invest in a new project instead, search for the project that already proves good in the market so you will not get another scam.

[marilynmanson21]

sorry buddy for your loss,
Be careful in the future if you want to invest, because there are many scamers out there, many more in the digital world that we never meet eye to eye and meet face to face.
The web is really interesting at first glance to make people believe all of this, but if I see the telegram community is limited I will not return to the group and leave it without returning, let alone invest, I will look for a community whose team is clear and can be invited to work together

Yeah and this has been warned to many times and be careful with any new project. Sometimes the most difficult thing is to know which was the scam project among the project that looks like legit but it acts as a trap for the investors by scammer. that means you have been lured to join in the project that looks like a legit project but it's a trap caused by you are loosing your money.

1. The price of this token kept surging and surging, there was no retrace or whatsoever which to me is a red flag, the whole chart was a straight line aiming for the moon.

The scammer itself was pumping the price of token.

2. Telegram channel was restricted, no one can make comments or send messages, another red flag that I don't get suspicious over

yeah putting the group into the watch mode only. This is scammer behavior.

You must always be careful when investing into something.

[riskarcher]

I know that feel bro, My 1 advice is never try a coin that you never know about its development, Always DYOR. choose a coin with clear fundamentals such as the Top 50 coins at CMC it is the best choice and the safest investment. Developers run away, All members BOT and LP Locks who are suddenly unlocked without notice to investor is a way for scammers to use their tricks. be careful brother

[Cling18]

I'm sorry to hear about what happened to you. It's really frustrating and heartbreaking to lose your funds that easy but still serves as a lesson for everyone. Just be skeptical next time and try to do research before releasing or investing huge funds. Don't worry because you could still look for better and legit projects in the future, just be wiser.

it was sorry to hear that but sometimes, someone had made some sacrifices to test the credibility of the project and it was you who is unlucky and become one of their victims. Even though we are too careful in choosing projects to invest in, doing research, and everything we do just to be sure that we are in the right investment. But somehow, some scam projects are also able to show that they are reliable and they gain trust from us until such time that we surprisingly found out that they are living us and scamming us.

Such experiences teach us always a bitter lesson not to repeat the same mistake again and be more cautious next time while investing in any project. I feel sorry for your loss but most of us have also been scammed many times So due diligence is always very important while investing.

Well, most of us who are in crypto made a few similar mistakes... we invested in some projects we believed, but they turned out to be scams from the beginning! I agree with you, it's a bitter lesson... but it's a lesson and we should learn from that, every experience counts in the end! Of course, some of us made more than one mistake, but in my case, the last few mistakes were minimal, never invest too much in something new and unproven!

It thought people lessons but it is very possible for someone to make such mistake again and again, what is most important is that people should first not be greedy and try as much as possible to avoid scam and money loss, but some people just do not have the knowledge and experience to avoid scam. That is why it is good for us to learn and read everyday how to avoid such fraudulent people like that. We should stop to just go into new trends without learning the risks involved. This is just the beginning of metaverse scam, some other people will still be victims of metaverse scam as they lack the knowledge of how to avoid such scam.

you should just stick with platforms like binance and the likes if you really trying out investing, this kind of shitcoins, either gonna be being manipulated so hard and even gonna turns out and become rugpulls that just happened to you recently.

this feels so similar with the squid game altcoins scam that couldn’t be sold after the token price has reached some point and after that the rugpulls is happening. regardless, you could only regret it because as you know once you invested into shitcoins and it becomes a scam there is literally nothing you can do with it. actually the main reason platform like coinlist exist solely for preventing this kind of scams that frequently happened even more specific in BSC that is already heavily infested by this kind of scam.
This gives you a less of you must never ever deal with the scam token like that. You must not complaint because if you have invested in it that means you have dealt with the risk

This shouldn't be happening in crypto, the more of this kind rugpull news we get the more it get newbies to want to stay away. And you don't have to always learn the hard way, the amount of money you lost although may not be too big but I'll say it's too much to invest in such a project.
Before investing in a project we have researched thoroughly on especially those selling on Dex, I'll advice everyone to buy less than $10 worth and try to sell to know if you can actually trade it, I think that should help reduce losses.

I think we should also consider that good projects nowadays are already rare to happen and that too good to be true projects are definitely pure scams. However, as what you said OP you there were no suspicious activities listed in the project and that made you believe that its legit. But knowing that its a still a new project, you should have due diligence in looking for any unreasonable or suspicious activities and you should have invested just a small amount that you won't regret if the project ends up as a scam. Maybe this experience will be a lesson not to trust easily as scam projects tend to look like more legit projects than the real legit ones.
