lol, similar thing happened to me too. I saw job offer for 'hiring moderator' on one of discord channel (channel itself was genuine, scammers were baiting users), I contacted the guy. He tried to be genuine and asked about my experience as moderator, my experience wasn't much but he agreed to give me a job anyway  

And now afaik (because I deleted the message, don't remember specifics), he told me I'm supposed to purchase their nft before I can start working for them, so he game me the link to purchase and then I deleted the message.


Plenty discord mod accounts are getting hacked these days, this is one of tricks they use, unfortunately normal users don't realize there could be phishing link from legit admin handle just cause their handle was hacked, and scammers go away with good bucks.

I have heard a similar story from one of my friend but he actually got his first month payment. That was a gaming project and they are promoting their NFT marketplace where they are selling their NFTs. Their moderator also needs to have one of those NFTs and use that NFT image as a profile picture in their discord. A weird job requirement and behavior from them right?

These types of crypto scams are all over the place now and are being perpetrated on every social media platforms. The most recent I had was someone sending me a message on WhatsApp using the same format. I wondered how they got my mobile number but knowing that I had joined so many crypto groups, I immediately knew it may been from one of those channels.

Well, I didn't even bother to read the details of the message twice I deleted it because beaten twice shy. It is never going to happen to me again.

It's an advanced scam and capital enough to lure in bigger fish. Give the moderators the first payment so that they seem very trustworthy in the first month and then when the project improves and the more money they get, then they will leave the project with a moderator who previously did not know anything about the details of the project he was promoting, so this This will be the full responsibility of the moderator used.

I had received these type of messages through my telegram Ids and most of them knew much information about me but I don't understand how they know my information even I didn't save their numbers nor talked to them before? So, the thing is they are getting my numbers from other social media's that I had used and given my number and also they take my numbers from the groups in the telegram which I had joined.

The solution to these scams are avoiding these type of messages whether it comes in the Email, or it comes in telegram or WhatsApp etc. We have to leave them and we have not to give them even a reply, just ignore and delete the chats which the scammers create and in which they send different type of links. Which are scam link through which they can stole our mobile data.

Telegram is filled with scammers. It is a playground for them. Yesterday, I was facing some problem in an exchange. So I sent a text in their telegram chat group saying, I was having some problems. And guess what, without a minute i got 8 PM on my telegram. Some were also offering me of collaboration, which I don't what was about. I was so confused. One guy was also asking that, where I was from. That's the main reason I avoid telegram as much as possible. Anything that comes out of telegram, out of 100, 90 of it, is related to scam.

- Do not trust your friends if they send you links. They may not be them, or they may have sent you the link unintentionally.

This is exactly the truth. Even when my closest friend send me a link, I will definitely get to him on phone to confirm  if they really sent it and what I really will expect from the link.

* I remember a while ago I needed some driver SW and found that the first Google result gave me a phishing link for Nvidia services.

I was contacted to work for a group of people who will use my credit card to set up a Google advertisement and that was a very scam project. I declined to work for them after knowing it was a scam and later I saw that advert at the very first page of Google with a phishing link and cloned website.

This is an obvious scam, why they will use my card to set up their own google advertisement, why not use their own.  Only greedy who thinks that they will earn huge on the offer falls for this kind of scamy trick.  Lucky you are able to detect scams, else you could have suffered financial losses.

The invitation on telegram and other messaging apps and offering too good to be true offers are rampant.  We better  just ignore unsolicited messages from unknown people or account.

I am not sure what kind of service OP was trying to use but this type of requirement is common for facebook and google marketing. It is much more convenient and simple to pay your marketer the whole expense of marketing, but some people don't want to do that out of fear that the marketer won't use the money to boost the product or page. In this case the owner adds his credit card to his page's payment option from which facebook deducts the money for marketing. But this can be done by the page owner so you don't need to provide your credit card details if you are the owner of that facebook page or the e-commerce site.
