What happened:: I just discovered a thread that was posted in the Bounties section of this forum; the OP posted a fake Github link to a pescalcoin wallet to download on the computer and invited the hunters in his thread to download and test the wallet on the computer in exchange for being paid 1000 PASCS or 500 USDT ERC20/TRC20.
First, The amount of payment per person is unbelievable, and this scammer allocated 50,000 for his "PROOF OF TEST" topic, which is, of course, a ploy to lure anyone.
Second, His account on the forum is Newbie and was created today at 03:24:47 PM.
Third, His Github account was created 3 hours ago, and he uploaded PascalsChain.zip 1 hour ago, well he posted a fake Github link; the official website is Pascalcoin.org, and the original GitHub link is
>>#, Even all the sizes of the original wallets did not reach 66.5 MB as the size of this scammer's wallet.

Additional Notes: I believe that the wallet published by this scammer contains malicious codes. Still, it was not detected by the antivirus programs, so do not download any wallets from questionable sources except its official sites. Do not be deceived that it is a clean wallet program and has not been detected by the antivirus. Also, do not participate in any "Proof Of Test" topics like this from new members, and don't download the wallet to test it on your primary PC/Phone in order to get the big payment because you will not receive it in the end, and your device will be hacked, be careful.
