Someone came up with this trick: claiming they can introduce you to a big tech figure, but only if you first pay 30 million. If the introduction succeeds, they can give you 50% of the benefits.



In other words, spending 30 million to get a 15 million commission — this logic is fundamentally flawed.

Such schemes are actually common in the community: claims of "internal channels to buy coins at low prices," "knowing senior exchange officials for special treatment," "private placement quotas only for acquaintances"… all sound very tempting, but in reality, they are just using celebrities and interests to lure people.

I feel it’s necessary to remind everyone: if someone claims they can exchange money for a "connection opportunity" with a well-known person, nine out of ten times they are setting a trap. Truly valuable relationships never require upfront payment.

Damn, this logic is really clever. Making 15 million by spending 30 million—how creative must that brain be?

I've seen this trick more than once, just changing the name to keep scamming.

People who know the industry wouldn't do this at all; those with real resources wouldn't need to ask for your money first.

There are too many scammers like this in the circle, it's hard to guard against all of them.

Basically, it's just exploiting people's greed. A little bit of thinking can see through it.

When I encounter similar people, I just block them. No need to waste time.

These days, the cost of bragging is really too low.

Connections with big shots are valuable, but they definitely wouldn't sell so "cheaply."

And some people still believe this, I'm really speechless.

Even if you have no money, they can still fool you into paying—now that's real skill.

Data shows that these types of scams account for as much as 87%, but the number of people being scammed is still increasing every year... The pattern observed is that true big players won't track your entry fees on an hourly basis; that logic itself violates basic economic principles. Just wait, this wave of retail investors will continue to be harvested.

This routine is so old, does anyone still believe it? Asking directly will just expose you, "Then why don't you invest 30 million yourself?"

Real big shots don't need middlemen to introduce them at all. If you can't see through such simple logic, how dare you play with coins?

---

There are only so many scammers in the circle, do you really have to learn your lessons with money?

---

The most outrageous thing is that someone actually fell for it. I just want to know if they regret being scammed out of 30 million.

---

I'm tired of hearing the excuse of knowing someone high up in the exchange. Next time, try a different trick, creative folks.

Fishing is already overused in the crypto circle. Can we try a different approach, brothers?

50% commission? Did the math teacher teach you that? Can't you figure out how badly this deal is losing?

Laughing out loud, 30 million for a 15 million commission, how is this math problem calculated?

Such obvious tricks, and some people still fall for it? This is just how the circle operates.

Saying that you know a big shot who can make introductions, why do I find it so hard to believe?

The internal channels for buying coins at low prices, I've heard this too many times, and every time it's just an IQ tax.

If there were truly valuable relationships, they would have approached you proactively long ago, why would they need you to pay upfront?

We've heard this kind of black talk so many times, but unfortunately, new people still fall into the trap.

Knowing senior executives at the exchange for special treatment? Wake up, everyone.

There is no such thing as a free lunch; those who pay first usually end up out of luck.

30 million for 15 million commission, this math problem is really amazing, haha

Are scammers this lazy, not even bothering to hide it

It's the same old trick, and some people still believe it, wake up everyone

Getting to know the big shots requires spending money first, this trick is even worse than shitcoins

The real way doesn't require money to start, that's common sense, brother

Paying money to buy connections? Wake up, you're just buying a scam

Private placements, channels, big shot introductions, all just a cover, a bait.
