Much appreciated . Scams are everyhwere and very informative article .

I’m sharing this real experience to protect my community.
I intentionally paid $67 just to understand how NFT scammers operate so you don’t have to.

Exactly how it happened 👇

It starts with attractive ads on social media.
Messages like:
“Binance users come inbox”
“Having balance in account”
“Best chance to grab new opportunity”
They target crypto users and create urgency, making it look like an exclusive offer.

Once you message them, they reply fast and politely:
“Hi! Please let us know how we can help you.”

This builds trust. They sound professional, calm, and supportive just like a real business.

After that he/she asked me to buy nft and you will make minimum of 30% profit. For me it was Looking good and I just put $70 to check it to see how this scam really works. After that I bought NFTs shared by him/her.
She also told ke each process that how can I buy nfts and how it will proceed eqch and everything + point She/he also ask me to give share of 25% from profit I said “No problem. I am aflgree on that!”

This NFT I bought and it is still in my wallet 😂
Now you ask me where is the scam???
let me share the real scam with you. Please, see this mail given below:

Before releasing the payment, they demand “standard fees”:
• Listing Fee
• Marketing Fee
• Security Fee
Total demanded from me: $67.60
They promise:
“All fees will be refunded after successful sale.”

⚠️ This is the biggest red flag
Real NFT marketplaces never ask sellers to pay random upfront fees like this via email.
When questioned, their replies become cold and scripted:
“We can’t break our policies for you.”
No NFT sale. No refund. No support. At this point, the scam is complete.
I lost $67 on purpose to expose this scam pattern clearly.

If this post saves even one person from losing hundreds or thousands, it’s worth it. Scammers don’t hack systems they hack emotions. Stay alert. Stay educated.And always double-check before sending money.

I intentionally lost $67 to understand this scam from the inside and expose the exact process for my community. This was not a mistake it was a lesson paid in advance so others don’t fall into the same trap. These scams look professional, polite, and convincing, but their goal is simple: extract small fees repeatedly until the victim realizes what’s happening.

NFT scams don’t rely on advanced technology. They rely on excitement, urgency, and trust. Fake buyers, refund promises, and so-called “policy issues” are just tools to keep you engaged long enough to send money. Once the payment is made, communication slowly turns cold, scripted, and circular with no real outcome.
If you remember only one thing, remember this: no legitimate NFT marketplace asks sellers to pay random upfront fees through emails or DMs. Always verify platforms, check official domains, and confirm everything on-chain. When something feels rushed or too easy, that’s usually the trap.

I’m sharing this so my community can move smarter, not scared. Knowledge is the strongest protection in crypto. Stay alert, question everything, and never let urgency override logic.
