The worst is that it is not punishable by law...
The smart contract itself may not be punishable, so nothing is stopping the way that makes people create such type of project. But either way, I doubt we want the part of cryptocurrencies governed by the law. I mean with such a "decentralized" nature, I believe it shouldn't be achieved. After all, regulations will come, not directly into the cryptocurrencies space but of how the people interact with it.

I believe what is worse is that it seems absurd that there are still some people that are getting deceived by it day by day. The reason such kinds of scams keep popping out may indicate that there are still enough people who are being deceived that make the scammer isn't stopping yet. Yet there keep innovating to keep making a more deceitful scam technique.

There are still scam projects right now that does a presale of their scam coin. Some did put effort just to make their site more legit and lure investors to buy theor scam coin and when they are done with their so called pre sale or in other words "FUNDRAISING" then they will exit and the team is now unable to contact.

Yes, that's how the scams work nowadays, if you follow a telegram channel that has a lot of followers on the bsc network, there are people who continue to offer projects, be it presile or fairlaunch, don't ever enter into things like that, it's true that the profits are big if the project legitimate, but most of them are scammers. better invest in new projects listed on coinecko and coinmarketcap only.

PS. That was my fault; I was sleepy at the time and still waiting for the presale.  Roll Eyes

So be careful, it's truly a strong scam method.
Dude sorry for that. I think there are some presale only goal are to fool most of their investors.

By the sound of it. Looks like they really planned out this from the start. What I hate among shitcoins are their ability to lure some traders and let us believe that they really gonna care and make progress ouy of hit.

Honeypot is a slow rug project IMO.

Mate, if you have some knowledge in solidity language, you can read the source code on the smart contract to avoid honeypot.
Of course, the smart contract must be verified first, otherwise we can't see the code.
This is one of some ways to do the due diligence when we want to invest on a new project.

This year, I happened to invest in a honeypot, but it was only a few dollars.

The scenario is that I'm waiting for the official listing of that coin on pancakeswap and didn't notice the official contract address and instead used the plugged contract address in the chat, thinking it was legitimate. After a few minutes, I noticed that the token was increasing in value, implying an easy profit, but I soon discovered that it was merely a honeypot.

On August 21, 2021 the Mini Basketball team achieves a record, half a million dollars in just a few minutes !

Yet it is one of the simplest and inexpensive scams : the HoneyPot.

A HoneyPot is a Cryptocurrency that can be bought but not resold, only the creator of the Token has the possibility of it, a scam which can be set up in a few minutes and which can bring tens of thousands of dollars to the Creator.

What it takes : a few hundred dollars for marketing (the more people, the more lucrative the scam)

Create social networks

Create a Token with a HoneyPot type Script (blocking the resale of the Token to everyone except the developer (s))

Simple, effective, scary, within reach of a child. Probably one of the most powerful scams I have ever seen.

If you want to know more on the subject I invite you to watch this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_o0A8oFG7mQ&ab_channel=HoneyPotContract

Today 8 out of 10 tokens that pop on the BSC are honeypots, and it works over and over again...
