would love to hear what you guys think of this new/old scam.
It's an old scam. Iirc around since about 2018. The only difference is that now the gas fee for the tokens has risen significantly, hence the thief will steal more.
I guess that this kind of scammers will always be fishing a few greedy newbies. I don't know what could be done against them. The victims kinda deserve their fate too.
