It blows my mind how many people fall for the same sob story scammer again and again on Nostr. Sometimes it's only a month between notes with the *exact* same story. And he's been doing it for years now.

Does anyone really fall for it?
Pretty sure I zapped a nickel. Seems more humiliating than not zapping come to think of it “here have a nickel, son” 😬. But I zap recklessly.
Just UNO mas, give a dog a bone.
Please sir...sats for mi familia 🥺🙏🫶
🤣🤭
But, but I have no yarn left Ma'am. Who will knit gloves for the young children🙏🏻.
Oh no, send me 1 bitcoin and I will send 2 back with some yarn for gloves.
It's so cold in Canada please yarn mi fingers 😂
Fellow crypto enthusiast, I have a plan for you to keep your fingers warm...
That's about 8 million pairs of gloves😮😂😜.
But you get 2 back and gloves 🤌🤌. And yarn from the finest of road kill animal furs, we're humane here at Yarnlady's Glove Emporium, totally not scammers™

Once we scavenge the furs and spin the yarn, turnover is a month tops. Will notify by broken nostr dm when product is en route by carrier pigeon (we take privacy seriously). #checksinthemail
I like your style, yarn.

What, UNO has started begging again...?
🤷♂️😜
He said a week ago or so, that he found a job in a hardware store, why he quit this time?
(I'm blocked by him, and I can't see all his notes)
What story? With who?
Uno, Nostr's original scammer. Previously known as LightX.
Oh is that so? Wasn't aware. Do go on...
How2grift on Nostr
1 - Have a sob story (can't pay my bills, lost my job, etc) to elicit zaps.
2 - Later "give back" to the community you love so much with some generous contest with big zaps.
3 - Surprise, the winners are alts you control.
4 - Wait a month or two.
5 - Repeat, profit.
This is some IQ level 94 noticing.
Sometimes claiming to fall for the scam…. Is the scam
