I feel for Wynaut. I entered thinking it would be scam. I initially only put in $100, then after farming was released I put in another $100. At some point I was I had made $800 profit. And I started to believe then they rug pulled meowth. I believed them at first, I kept my funds in and then the second rise happened. Followed by another rug pull.

Honestly the coin could have been something else. If it wasn't a rug pull they would have been listed in on coingecko by now. But they're not.

when i was younger and didnt understand how computers worked i bought a laptop from Harvey Norman, they talked me into some finance option with certegy ezipay, an absolute scam. it sounded like it was too good to be true, basically "top of line" laptop and if it so much as got a scratch on it they would replace it brand new. all bullshit of course the laptop was a $750 at most piece of mid range boomer tier shit that i calculated with interest over time ended up costing me about $3k. i was fooled into thinking such a well known chain store would be above ripping off kids for chump change, learned from that though that i needed to fucking educate myself about shit before i buy, recently just rebuilt my newest PC for around $300, havent touched a credit card/financer since

I made a really good friend in RS when I was like 10. As we grew older and played less, we added each other on MSN to keep in touch, but in the end we didn't really talk much. A couple of years later he messaged me. We caught up a bit and he made up some story about how he lost his RS account and wanted to borrow my account so he could make some money to get started with a new one. Having been really good friends with him, I trusted him. Turns out he just took all my shit and blocked me. Wasn't a big deal since I wasn't playing the game, but it hurt a bit. If you're out there, Vincent, fuck you.

All the info they give it that they have your email, I'll post some of it

I have to share bad news with you.
Approximately few months ago I have gained access to your devices, which you use for internet browsing.
After that, I have started tracking your internet activities.

Here is the sequence of events:
Some time ago I have purchased access to email accounts from hackers (nowadays, it is quite simple to purchase such thing online).
Obviously, I have easily managed to log in to your email account ().

One week later, I have already installed Trojan virus to Operating Systems of all the devices that you use to access your email.
In fact, it was not really hard at all (since you were following the links from your inbox emails).
All ingenious is simple. =)

This software provides me with access to all the controllers of your devices (e.g., your microphone, video camera and keyboard).
I have downloaded all your information, data, photos, web browsing history to my servers.
I have access to all your messengers, social networks, emails, chat history and contacts list.
My virus continuously refreshes the signatures (it is driver-based), and hence remains invisible for antivirus software.

Likewise, I guess by now you understand why I have stayed undetected until this letter...

While gathering information about you, I have discovered that you are a big fan of adult websites.
You really love visiting porn websites and watching exciting videos, while enduring an enormous amount of pleasure.
Well, I have managed to record a number of your dirty scenes and montaged a few videos, which show the way you masturbate and reach orgasms.

If you have doubts, I can make a few clicks of my mouse and all your videos will be shared to your friends, colleagues and relatives.
