Last week, I found an airdrop project in Telegram called Marco Protocol, the airdrop looked decent at the first stage, I earned 200 MAPC tokens and that was instant! But you only can withdraw from your MAP wallet when Airdrop program will end, that's good, I am okay with it. Their airdrop tweet got 8K retweet and 9K likes, so, you can understand how hype it had!
But yesterday, they announced they are going to sell Bitcoin at a 50% discount to celebrate the halving. Can you imagine? 1 Bitcoin price is 8600 USD, people can buy by 4300$! I believe This is absolutely scam but many newbies already have fallen for that! As they saw MAPC has huge support in twitter, and they listed on CMC too.
50% off announcement:
https://t.me/MAP_POB_channel/87What is in for the team or what do they stand to gain through such? This is the first question that should always come to mind in this type of cases. Even if they are too generous, selling Bitcoin at 50% discount is enough reason to show the users or members that something is wrong. Well as humans, we all know people will fall for that mostly because it is Bitcoin without taking time to ask questions. I see it as this; they used the airdrop to attract users, made it as attractive as possible, have good twitter activities then showcased their true intentions which is make money off gullible users. Let people always try and look beyond whatever that is being showcased and ask the right questions because scammers are getting wiser and looking for more ways to scam.
