Today I got “scammed” by a
@Memeland whale without actually losing any money (huh)
A few days ago I got contacted by
@budvaamstaff to buy his
$MEME waitlist codes. We agreed on 100+ codes for just 1.37 ETH
A few days later the prices of these codes suddenly increased to 0.04 ETH per code, but I hadn’t used mine yet! I also didn’t feel the need to even check the codes because I had history with this guy, so I trusted him.
Suddenly I got a message from
@budvaamstaff saying he was sorry because he “Accidentally leaked all my codes in an open Discord” 😂
Of course this sounded ridiculous to me so I decided to look into his ETH wallet and managed to track down a few addresses that had sent him money within the past 24 hours.
I ended up texting with a few of them and my suspicion was correct. He ended up reselling the codes he had sold to me for a higher price and refunded me my original amount.
When confronting him about this he kept repeating that it was just an accident and that it wasn’t dishonest in any way because he refunded me. But when I asked for any proof on how he leaked my codes in a random open discord instead of selling it to specific people he blocked me.
It still amazes me that someone with that much money (He holds 27 Captainz + a MVP) still decides to pull such a scummy move for a few extra ETH. I think he thought he could get away with it by playing it off as a simple mistake and refunding me my money so it wouldn’t be considered a scam.
So what do you guys think: Is he just a total scumbag or a scammer?
