  • I dont know. I agree with your point, but I think there’s more benefits to keeping it intact. Maybe a middle ground is to mark up the photo with ‘SCAM’ ‘DO NOT USE’ etc, but leave the address intact. It’s a phishing scam, so the address is the only info anyone has to potentially track them down. Maybe the address was used somewhere else, and there it can be tied to a person. The top comment here is someone already creeping on the address, which confirms:

    1. people do do this legwork in the crypto world, there’s probably exchange admins and the like punching the address into their own databases and just not informing us because they didn’t find anything.

    2. Noone has been dumb enough to send to that address yet, even before it was getting called out as a scam

    If it’s censored noone can do even a cursory glance into it



  • Cheers to that. I’ve gone through the same thing. My tech work had me installing wireless equipment on highrise roofs in a major city. One time I went down from the roof to the top floor penthouse to set up the owner big wig dude with our service. It was an absolutely beautiful place, and I was just taking it in, and was admiring the view from the balcony. He started showing off the view and really went on about it, inviting me out to the balcony. I should have taken the hint that it was important to him, and just gone with it, but I mentioned I just came from a better view and pointed up half joking and it completely deflated the dude. He probably isn’t even allowed up there on the roof, and I had a 360 view up there. I tried to recover and fumbled out something like ‘but to wake up to it every morning, wow’ but the damage was done, I one upped the millionaire on accident.
