This is the reply drawn my attention,
No investment advice, but you can contact me on WhatsApp +1 6365877052
Someone made a thread in the altcoin section where he wants to stake but doesn't have enough knowledge about DeFi. A newbie replies to him and invites him to talk through WhatsApp. I don't know what his intention was; it could be good or bad.
This isn't an allegation, actually, but a warning. This way, scammers invite you to talk, and they might motivate you to invest somewhere. They might show fake screenshots or proof to convince you. And some innocent greedy people would fall into the trap and lose everything. So just be careful of such invitations. Rather, it's better to discuss in public places.
You're right sometimes it could be that the person is somehow connected to those creators and this mostly happen in most of this shitcoin that happens to be scam, most times after they finished with the creation they can decide to hire any of this celebrities for hyping and most of this people who are very naive will just decide to dive into investing in that shitcoin just because they saw thier favorite celebrity hyping it, of course we always see this happening countless time.
