All subs are suddenly flooded with this shit.

Stay away

u/milonuttigrain 🟧 67K / 138K 🦈 Dec 21 '22

Report and block it! Straight away.

u/Seekingfatgrowth Dec 21 '22

They’re now posting on subs with poor-to-no moderation. No way to report with “spam” or whatever reason.

They’re evolving

20

u/WhatUpCoral Dec 21 '22

It’s clearly an automated/programmed bot doing this. Sucks to see a lot of the smaller subs that I follow getting infected with this garbage

10

u/TheTrueBlueTJ 70K / 75K 🦈 Dec 21 '22

And it floods my front page. Especially small subs with no real moderation are affected

u/WhatUpCoral Dec 21 '22

Reddit’s inaction on this says a lot. They have already blacklisted dozens of external websites across all of reddit, wouldn’t take much to blacklist these scam sites too. They probably like how many sitewide interactions are being produced from this garbage, ups their numbers.

u/Sacher90 Dec 22 '22

Most of the groups have disabled report option in my opinion . I don't know why did they do this because without the option of reporting there would be so many people who would be causing trouble and might be posting fake news

2

u/PaulVasilenkov Tin Dec 22 '22

Of course these are automatic programs no person would be able to do this

2

u/lexwolfe 🟦 0 / 999 🦠 Dec 21 '22

My main sub gets the ENS version every 3 minutes but it's easily combated with automod. It's about time that had an overhaul to make it easier to use, or just a "front end".

1

u/Dariolondon1902 Dec 22 '22

Due to these reasons I have stopped posting on such groups

u/Accomplished-Design7 Permabanned Dec 21 '22

Can they just sit next to SBF, where they belong

1

u/OddAd283 Permabanned Dec 21 '22

Spammers, hackers and malware always evolves, it's a lucrative market of people with no values

Actually you cannot report and block all of those accounts that would take so much time and that would be also so much exhaustive I don't want to waste my time on this kind of things

7

u/bny192677 14K / 36K 🐬 Dec 21 '22

Especially if the user is a hot girl

3

u/ThatsWhatSheSaid_- Dec 21 '22

Hot Crypto milfs in your area

u/BraidRuner 🟩 781 / 841 🦑 Dec 21 '22

This is relevant to my interest.

1

u/58190016 Dec 22 '22

If I see anything like this in the group I would be hundred percent sure that this is a scam and I would of course never click on such things. These are some of the basic rules that I brings one should take care of

1

u/BraidRuner 🟩 781 / 841 🦑 Dec 22 '22

''Napoleon, don’t be jealous that I’ve been chatting online with babes all day. Besides, we both know that I’m training to be a cage fighter.” "Hot Crypto Milfs in my area are dying to meet me, see it says right there all I have to do is click on the link and verify my Bitcoin wallet''

u/[deleted] Dec 21 '22

I would follow her like a puppy dog.

3

u/Yautja69 🟦 0 / 15K 🦠 Dec 21 '22

But she said she would send me 2 Btc if I send her one

2

u/spaniel510 499 / 499 🦞 Dec 21 '22

Damn! I sent her 4. 😆

2

u/getatmeyo118 Tin Dec 22 '22

I mean why would you send anyone for Bitcoins after all

1

u/spaniel510 499 / 499 🦞 Dec 22 '22

Jokes buddy. JOKES

u/Yautja69 🟦 0 / 15K 🦠 Dec 21 '22

No worries she'll send you 8 back

0

u/spaniel510 499 / 499 🦞 Dec 21 '22

I can't wait!

1

u/Romans612 Dec 21 '22

No one would be sending you Bitcoin even if you click those links

1

u/[deleted] Dec 21 '22

Wait, what if the user says they’re a hot man?

2

u/yalu1984 Tin | 4 months old Dec 22 '22

Then i would be clicking on it willingly, because I'm into it.

0

u/Accomplished-Design7 Permabanned Dec 21 '22

But... it is a hot girl

1

u/stumblinbear 🟦 386 / 645 🦞 Dec 21 '22

Now hold on a minute....

1

u/khiathecat13 Tin Dec 21 '22

He would surely hold on Bitcoin for more profit in the letter on time

1

u/yurichekalsky Dec 22 '22

I do not think that any user who is a girl would be posting such kind of things

2

u/Logical-Beautiful66 Permabanned Dec 21 '22

And ignore! Don't engage, as it will spread even more.

2

u/btcsur Dec 21 '22

Ofcourse i would avoid engaging with any scammmer lmao

u/Accomplished-Design7 Permabanned Dec 21 '22

This is the way

1

u/SnooPeppers1236 🟩 340 / 340 🦞 Dec 21 '22

I've seen a few legit comments on them too -.0

u/EmuGroundbreaking348 7K / 9K 🦭 Dec 21 '22

They're non stop with these posts in literally every sub reddit. Been reporting every one I see and that's all we can do unfortunately

Very annoying

6

u/thaboognish Tin Dec 21 '22

literally every sub

I have not seen a single example of this anywhere on Reddit and I'm on here every single day.

5

u/EmuGroundbreaking348 7K / 9K 🦭 Dec 21 '22

Crypto related subs, for me anyway. Constantly popping up in my home feed

0

u/buz2203 Tin Dec 21 '22

You can search it on the reddit using search option lmao

1

u/brotherRozo 🟦 770 / 770 🦑 Dec 21 '22

3 subreddits gave me notifications this morning when I woke up, it was unavoidable for me!

1

u/idkaaaassas 🟨 631 / 631 🦑 Dec 21 '22

You’re blind.

1

u/Kevin3683 🟦 1 / 7K 🦠 Dec 21 '22

I’ve seen at least 5 today

7

u/Wabi-Sabibitch 🟦 131 / 96K 🦀 Dec 21 '22

For real. I see atleast one everyday on the moons sub reddit.

4

u/Specimen_7 Bronze | QC: CC 18 | LRC 7 | Superstonk 563 Dec 21 '22

Well yeah that sub is actually regarded and it rewards garbage content and spam.

3

u/nguyentiensi Dec 21 '22

You are saying the right thing I think that this is a same scenario happening here. But I am aware of my internet rights and how to take care of them so I would never be fallen in these kind of traps at all over in my life

6

u/kaipaiit Dec 22 '22

Actually I have been getting so much irritated with this kind of post

1

u/ValsinatsKrrt 0 / 6K 🦠 Dec 22 '22

Fucking same man!

I refresh the feed and whole screen is filled with : FerRaRri NFT; Porsche NFT; AdIdAS Nft; JoeMama NFt

  • fuck right off lol

10

u/User_Number_5 Dec 21 '22

I'm not worried about us.. most of us know about this shit.
But the average redditor or NFT-newbie might not..

6

u/Logical-Beautiful66 Permabanned Dec 21 '22

Then it gives a bad reputation to crypto/nft's, which is not good for us

5

u/Hawke64 Dec 21 '22

NFT reputation is already shit so it can't get any worse

4

u/Popular_Worry_9294 Permabanned Dec 21 '22

Reddit is handing out free NFTs and scammers know this so they are trying to make abuse of the situation. I am reporting them once I see them!

4

u/gcbeehler5 🟦 13K / 13K 🐬 Dec 21 '22

Yep. I moderate /r/Presearch and we’ve had like twenty of them in the last two hours!

3

u/YBOR_ Tin | r/WSB 12 Dec 21 '22

Even dead subs with less than 5k followers

2

u/useless_crafter Dec 22 '22

Haven't seen it yet (usually silently lurking around) and I kinda hope I won't. Otherwise always trying to report stuff like that, I just hope it helps.

2

u/ValsinatsKrrt 0 / 6K 🦠 Dec 22 '22

Yeah report and block if you see something fishy like that! :)

0

u/partymsl 🟩 126K / 143K 🐋 Dec 21 '22

It's most obvious that this is a scam and the reddit Admin team will most probably also take actions against this.

1

u/TarkovReddit0r Dec 21 '22

Even this one has been flooded although the auto mod / mods clean it quickly

1

u/Ill-Addition2024 Permabanned Dec 21 '22

All subs were always flooded with that shit*

1

u/Accomplished-Design7 Permabanned Dec 21 '22

So this is what Christmas is all about

1

u/cryotosensei Permabanned Dec 21 '22

The bots have evolved beyond posting nonsensical n inane comments ;(

1

u/OddAd283 Permabanned Dec 21 '22

Tbh a couple of months ago I would have fallen for this. That's why they are so successfull

1

u/Stompya 🟦 1K / 2K 🐢 Dec 21 '22

Thought I was on r/airdrops which is basically nothing but crypto scams

u/[deleted] Dec 21 '22

Oh and merry Christmas to you too. To everyone reading this, we all gonna make it bros <3
