Many warnings have been posted about the possibility of DeFi exits scams across different platforms including bitcointalk but it seems people are simply too greedy to take advantage of the hype and profit. As it turns out, many of them got burned from projects like Yfdexf.Finance.
As
reported, Yfdexfs team managed to run away with $20 million. Their official website, medium, telegram and twitter accounts have all been taken down to not leave any traces.
What happened here is also another reminder to all aridrop and giveaway hunters out there to be careful in what you are sharing in exchange for some rewards. You might not realized it yet, but you are also helping these scammers. Yfdexfs team organized many giveaways to create hype and many of these hunters just joined without even thinking about what they are promoting.
This is the advantage of the scammers using bounty hunters to promote the project and create a hype out of it, I think bounty hunters should really do start to take care of which projects they are promoting, yes they needed money and you can have it on by participating to bounty and airdrops but I don't think it's not a reason not to search about the project if they are legitimate or not however we can't blame them since some of the scam projects really look like a legitimate projects.
