He started posting about a private account he had made with insider trading tips or whatever- not something I am interested in.
I can’t remember quite what incentivised me to interact with him, he asked his followers to comment a money-
emoji on a post. He then DM’d me saying that if I wanted access to his private account I had to pay £100. I politely declined and shortly after he deleted and message and blocked me. I did screenshot the original but it’s been so long I think I deleted it again.
After this all of a sudden he is pushing SYA which is a deflationary currency of this Flooz ecosystem which he is now pushing.
It’s quite possible he could have been pushing SYA through his private account, pushing the price up and making it seem like a more valuable asset than it really is in prep for this ridiculous site. It’s Club Penguin on steroids.
I’ve always watched from afar but this is highly unethical. SYA is an experimental currency, he’s not the first influencer to provide financial information but he is potentially giving out awful untrained financial advice.
I am 25 and work in financial services so can spot these kinds of scams a mile off but other younger people on instagram etc may not be able to until it’s too late.
This is of course heresay and everything I have said above is a guess but an educated one based on following him for a while and being DM’d numerous ‘investment opportunities’ whilst I did. No wonder he wanted to get rid of followers!
if I had believed in him and invested in every project/ opportunity he presented his following I would be down over £3k. There was a project in 2019 that was offered to me at £1k a month instalments, but he wasn’t willing to tell me what it was for before I sent the money. I had no intention of sending a penny of course but was completely shocked at the offer.
This is all I have since stuff has now been deleted!!
