Hello everyone,
Lately, at least in my country (Romania), there have been numerous reports of people contacting citizens to ask them to buy crypto for them and receive a profit for it.
The scam goes like this:
1. Somebody contacts you under the pretext that they are barred to buy crypto in their country.
2. They transfer you funds to buy crypto and you will buy and send it to them in a metamask wallet.
3. You get a profit, quite a nice one, 10-15%.
Now the issue is that the money they send you are from a hacked bank account and you will most likely end up to the police.
I have an old relative with no tech knowledge that done this and next week police were at her door.
Please beware and even if profits sound nice, it is not worth it, my relative needs to pay the entire sum back now.
Stay safe and take care of your less knowledgeable peers1
