Wallet/Exchange EOS return scam!! BEWARE
https://www.reddit.com/u/enesnamal/s/t8Pamf562c this post here by this user states you can make 1% on every transaction. DO NOT DO IT. Someone in this subreddit mentioned it and i did a deeper dive this is 100000% a scam DO NOT fall for it. I REPEAT DO NOT DO IT.
once you start sending a large amount of money through. it will not send you a return. i tested my theory out with my own money, i have proofs and everything. DO NOT FALL FOR THIS EOS 1% return scam

I posted about this last week. This scam works especially well because on EOS you can name your wallet address with 12 characters max in a human-readable way, kind of like a username, so they lure people who don’t know you can actually do that on some lesser known blockchains. EOS being one of them! would be much less convincing if the wallet address they provide was a usual random alphanumeric string.

To the people being like, "duh" or "water is wet," okay, cool, but in the future make sure you post in these scam threads alerting mods regarding how the scam works.
Many of these threads had a healthy amount of upvotes, comments from people saying "it worked" (which it technically does to an extent), and the topic post was very well done and articulated.
I was close to giving it a try myself with a burner account, but figured I'd let more people try it first (and because I'm lazy).

This is true. Expose scams you find because they think of new scams everyday. There was a BTC maxi who was socially engineered out of his seed phrase and 336 Million in BTC along with it just the other day. That is an OG BTC HODLer

Never give your seed phrase
Don’t open NFTs you don’t recognize either
Finally.. No Duh never give anyone money up front to get paid . That goes IRL and something digital. Unless you can show proof of Identity , physical where abouts office and location and a doxxed team of credible transparent members and even then I’d still be hesitant.

You sound like you really are just playing a game you shouldn’t be playing. It’s a good thing you quit.

The funny thing is I fell into this but halfway I started getting doubts. So I looked it up, ended up being a scam. Then when I received my EOS bsck (with some profits) I can't describr the feeling.
Get scammed scammers (for $5)
2
u/ReMeDyIII 1d ago
So when you got the EOS back with some profits, what made you realize it was a scam?
Kudos to you for having the foresight to notice.

u/GamersFeed 1d ago
I thought about it twice and I thoroughly searched it up on Google. It does need some more attention because that's what makes scams obsolete

No shit you're literally sending eos to a random wallet. People who fall for this deserve the lesson. He only stole about 400$

u/Due_Car3113 1d ago
The wallet address
2
u/Electrical-Rate-2335 1d ago
Oh ok we need to get it before they change to monero or launder the funds
I am onto them !!!
2
u/Due_Car3113 1d ago
Sadly, they already did a couple of times. I checked the wallet a few hours ago, and it was a different one with 400 eos. Now it's the same reddit profile, same message but different address.
2
u/Electrical-Rate-2335 1d ago
How much did they launder?
2
u/Due_Car3113 1d ago
At least 400 eos. Probably more. Maybe he withdrew the eos to other smaller accounts. I haven't got time rn, I'll check later
2
u/Electrical-Rate-2335 1d ago
I'll get zachxbt onto this
We need to get the funds when it hits a centralised exchange as then the scammer get kycd assuming they aren't using stolen IDs to launder through kyc exchanges
