Scammers on Codeforces

Revision en5, by Happy.CoDer, 2022-03-02 11:38:43

The other day I heard about a promotion from CrowdForces. Users from Ukraine could receive 12 Near coins when creating a Near wallet through the crowdforces bot.

For those who are interested, the instructions are here: https://nearcrowd.com/crowdforces

Some time later, me and my friends started receiving messages from different Codeforces accounts. The text reported on the donation of 3,000 UAH to the army of Ukraine. After that, they demanded to send a specific message to the crowdforces bot: "I want to register on https://nearcrowd.com/crowdforces. My public key is: PUBLIC_KEY"

Do not under any circumstances do this! 12 Coins will be transferred to their wallet, and no one guarantees that you or the army will receive them. If you really want to sell these 12 coins and donate money to the army, do it yourself! (instructions: https://nearcrowd.com/crowdforces)

Below are screenshots of scam messages.
