the crypto space more specifically the altcoin ones, are too forgiving with such shady behavior because they are used to the risk of altcoin already which always involves risking money, but regardless a scam is a scam.
After the TON ecosystem exploded on airdrop projects, some people took the opportunity to scam airdrop participants and investors. This is inevitable. For example, a project that I participated in doing airdrop tasks and invested 50TON for a token mining machine, but when I made a withdrawal order, they used the excuse of an error and announced that they sent the email manually. Is this a common behavior to go to scam??? It seems like it is a trap that any ecosystem encounters. Lol
Totally.
What was the name of the project, if you remember it, by chance?
Nevertheless, that's just crazy. And some other projects come up with even crazier and fishy schemes than that.
