At first glance, the Big Daddy e Club NFT project looked like either a parody or a rip-off of the much more famous Bored e Yacht Club, arguably the most successful NFT project in the world. But while Bored e has caught the eye of the likes of Paris Hilton, Jimmy Fallon and Gwyneth Paltrow, the Big Daddy e Club won’t be appearing on The Tonight Show any time soon. At least not for anything good.
Like the Twitter account NFT Gurus mention, thatthe scammers behind Big Daddy e Club were able to trick people into trying to „mint” their NFT with an extra 1 Solana., which cost about $135 at the time. The transaction would fail, but the Solana still went through.
The scammers were able to trick at least 9,041 people into trying their Mint of the E knockoffs, raising over $1.2 million. but SolRarity Notes, this isn’t the imposter’s first rodeo. This is at least the third scam carried out by the person or persons behind Big Daddy e Club based on the wallets the money was funneled into. It’s obviously a profitable endeavor if you don’t mind being nasty.
Curiously, the project has been “verified” by Civic, a crypto company said to be reviewing NFT projects. According to the news agency, Civic is working with authorities to track down the perpetrators decrypt.
