TL;DR – People who post like ordinary Redditors have scam guides in their user profiles. They want to steal money from ordinary people by pretending to be ordinary people.

Quick forenote: This is not the "I made 230 dollars in one day" scam where another user gets tagged in the OP.

If you encounter this kind of scammer Please report the user and use a "custom report option" and then write something like "Scam guide in user profile." or "This is a scammer, check their profile."

Problem encountered: I saw a post that was written in a way to gain everyone's favor. It had more than 50, but less than 100 upvotes, and looked like it was any other post. The OP even asked what coins they should look into. But then a user reported the post, encouraging us to look into the user's profile. The scam posted was well-written, but had some red flags. "Send 100 USD of eth to this wallet address and you'll get 101 USD of Eth back." For those of you who don't know, the comments that are posted to the guide are all fake. The comments all say, "Wow this worked. I can do this 9 times more today." They take your crypto and run once it is sent.

IMPORTANT: Do NOT write in the comments anything inflammatory to the scammer. If they know we are on to them, this could cause them to remove the posts from their profiles and then repost them on another day – turning this into a game of "scammer whack-a-mole."
