Beware of Scammers Guys - They are lurking everywhere
I am not a huge fan of social media websites like Fb, Instagram, Snapchat, Twitter and all that crap.
But ICOs force you to join their telegram group. So I did.
An arbitrary person pings me while I am asking my questions.
Mira Aiden: Hi.
Me: Who the hell are you and how did you get added to my list?
Mira Aiden: Sir, I just wanted to ask if you want to invest more.
Me: Yeah, I do.
Mira Aiden: How much more do you want to invest sir?
Me: 0.5 Ether.
Mira Aiden: That's cool.
Me: But what am I buying?
Mira Aiden: You're investing in private pre-sale of a very good ICO that will give stellar returns.
Me: What's the name of the ico?
Mira Aiden: It's secretive. Send the money to wqefrijgotk1234gfdjvdmskdf.
Me: This isn't even an Ethereum address; they start with 0x.
Mira Aiden: Sorry I gave you my Bitcoin address.
Me: Are you from Nigeria, mutha fucka?
Mira Aiden: Accept my apologies sir. Here is the correct address 0xesrfgthywegr1234efcd345v334.
Me: Do you really think that by ignoring my previous comment it'll go away?
Mira Aiden: Sir, I am genuine and am offering you a great opportunity to make good returns on your investment.
Me: On a scale of 1-10, how dumb do you think I am?
I close the laptop in disgust.
When I return later to web Telegram to ask more questions, I notice the name Mira Aiden has been changed to a man's name now.
Me: Haha. So now you changed your name. Go get a life. You aren't building crypto retirement fund the right way.
