Got this lovely message in DM on the Discord chat app a few minutes ago.. At first I was like "No fucking way! This is the financial relief I've been praying to the flying spaghetti monster for!" and went and signed up on their site which looks pretty legit actually then went to go about claiming my prize, thinking towards trading half the BTC to STEEM using Blocktrades.us in order to bankroll Steem-Roller.com a bit better. Signed up to the Aerochange site using a throw away password thank fuck.
After signing up for the site I'd went to withdraw to Blocktrades then got an error message stating "You need to deposit 0.01 BTC in order to confirm you're not a bot" or some shit.. At this point basically was like "uhh, that's not fuckin' right" and went to google in order to see if anyone had any reports on the site.. Found this reddit post stating:
DO NOT VISIT THE AEROCHANGE SITE IN THIS POST, REGISTER FOR IT, OR SEND IT BTC
YOU WILL GET SCAMMED!

The creator of that site looks like he could actually code something useful, yet he decides to code this scam

Right?! That is what I thought too. The site is actually decently put together on the front end.

I was getting up to 2k tagings per day in useless tokens that are worth...eh... zero! My phone was always without battery thanks to that... Never understood the need to tag people for everything, even tho I have the "everyone and here" thing disabled. So I got tired and deleted all the servers.... maybe all those useless tokens will be worth millions in 10 years... and I will be very pissed off!

Yeah.. I hate getting tagged in random advertising hype too. it is no good.
Who knows what the future holds.. Crypto prices are pretty all over the place.

Not sure why but I assume anyone signed up to discord and steem on top of that has enough wits about them to spot a scam like that. Any unsolicited message that is not a nude I immediately block and close. Kudos for going through the pain to maybe inform the more hopeful I guess :)
