Tina pulled in over 2 million sats.
You mean… Leila? Right? 😉
"deleted account"
Deleted account, but not before spamming every relay on earth. "Tina" made through my strict L1 only WoT. She got more than 3 folks from my 200 person follow list to follow it. I'm more than impressed.
If only these talented people used their power for good 😭
NGL my faith in the intelligence of humanity is shook. So much engagement, plus 2.1M sats donated.
tough world out there. many people loose their life worth of money daily just to email.. many security breaches etc, and yet we still have to give more and more info just to get electricity.
yeah.
itz bad. what did npub.world say? hopefully this webs of verification can help.
I am both surprised that this did not immediately set of everyones scam radar and warmed by peoples generosity.
Well known fact that people are retarded. Mabey im to cold hearted but I knew this was a scam from a mile away.
there was a very creepy vibe.
Anyone using children and childrens illness to push their message is creepy af
Same. I didn't say anything because I figured everyone else would be just as aware.
Testing zaps for this note… we made five attempts to⚡zap this note, at enki@zap.sovbit.host, over a period of 15 minutes. In each case, we found that your lightning address service or server did not respond correctly. If you wanted to fix this... you could try getting a free Rizful account to reliably receive zaps -- https://rizful.com ... then, pls reply here so we can ⚡zap you some sats to be sure it's working.
Interesting way to market things, not necessarily bad
Bitcoiners are also rerarded
Thats at least two grand amirite
"Web of trust"
Note the unbiased flattery, and many other psychological tricks masterfully deployed in one message 🤣😂🤣
Tina did really well https://www.nostrzap.com/received/npub160fst36vpu6r9ezexy555d9rxq74rhmr58x4f0ktj8w3ly4vn3aq6465mq
Plus some on chain donations.

Not a bad effort
If it’s onchain, we can track it 🚀😂
Meh 😂
Can we message everyone who zapped and give them a message about avoiding scams 😂
I think we have already made more than a few folks aware, on a serious note
They'll be back soon with a new tactic, this was pretty successful 😂
So I asked ChatGPT to analyze the likelihood of scam, and it was spot on. It came with much longer reasoning, but I am showing the gist.
ChatGPT probably helped make it.
The presence of emojis at start and end sentences is ChatGPT signature.
When I was a boy, for 2 weeks I worked for a charity called 'Children's Leukaemia', and 2 years later, the boss of this charity was arrested for fraud on a massive scale. Nowadays, I assume ALL charities are cheating their donors in one way or other.
I'd recommend helping people you know directly rather than anonymous charirty pages. There are plenty of people out there who need help, and you can be sure that they get it when you deal with them directly
We are looking for an investor who can loan our holding company 237,000 US dollars.
With this money, we will open a farm in Baku, Azerbaijan to produce animal-based food.
We will also make our own animal feed, so our products will be healthier, better quality, and cheaper.
Because we sell quality products for less and have strong advertising, we will sell more worldwide and make big profits.
Why Azerbaijan? Because animal farming makes a lot of money there, but few people do it. That’s why we will earn more by starting in Azerbaijan.
Additionally, by producing our own animal feed, we will be able to sell healthier, higher quality animal products at a lower price.
Since we can sell quality products cheaply and thanks to our strong advertising network, we will be able to sell more internationally and make huge profits.
The reason for establishing the business in Azerbaijan is that animal husbandry is a very profitable business in Azerbaijan, but since there are very few people doing animal husbandry, establishing the farm in Azerbaijan will provide us with more income.
Your profit:
You will lend 237,000 US dollars to our holding company and when 22.03.2026 comes, you will receive your money back as 953,000 US dollars.
Your earnings will be great. When 22.03.2026 comes, you will get your money back as 953.00 US dollars.
You will lend 237,000 US dollars to our holding company and when 22.03.2026 comes, you will receive your money back as 953,000 US dollars.
When 22.03.2026 comes, I will give you back your money in the amount of 953,000 US dollars.
That means you will earn 716,000 US dollars profit in just 9 months.

Most charities are a soft scam in that... yes they do some of the good stuff they claim, but mostly they keep their employees getting a nice monthly paycheque and the ppl in the top a fat yearly comp package and a lot of deductables for everyone
🥲
Apparently 🤷♂️
With zaps being public I thought about creating a bot that does some "Fell for scammers award" and "most successful sob story award" ... The bot would reply to all those identified sob story spammers to protect noobs but also call out those that feed those scams as you get what you pay for, so please don't pay for fake stories.
I like the idea. Maybe the award tbing is a bit too mean. But a reply (for other anons) and a DM to the "donor" telling them this is a scam is brilliant. Triggering this when someone zaps the note is a much lighter approach than the "spam hunter" bots, which often end up spamming the relays harder than the scam bots.
A public award to the top donor once a week and the rest DMs?
DM: you zapped 200sats to a scammer but don't fret. The current contendor for spam-sponsor of the week @... threw 12000 sats at them. Follow to learn who won every Monday at 12.
Sadly DMs in nostr are a mess.
I might make that list / award with auto zaps 🤣
I still think the public award idea might be a bit too harsh. In my head, a "top donor" is a deeply Catholic Irish grandma who somehow joined Nostr because her maxi grandson Seamus (that lives in her basement; but is definitely buying a Lambo with all his holdings) told her to. Nostr Grandma who falls for scams must be protected at all costs. 🤣
I'm worried that publicly calling victims out might drive people away from Nostr instead of correcting their behaviour. Maybe we could post a public message with a meme, without outing the donor. Something like: "Oh crap, another anon fell for a scam on Nostr" (random meme) – Top zap to scammers of the month: 12k. Kind of like what the UTXO bots do.
And the DM can be exactly as you said. Agreed. Well, NIP-17 is still there, even though lots of GiftWrapped messages never get read by anyone, lol.
I started following Tina as i think that's the o.g. but i've been around since the old "if you forward this email to all your contacts some company will put in a dollar for their surgery for every forwarded address" that i should treat carefully. But it's actually horrible to scam well intended people with this emotional garbage.
I'm gonna unfollow and block, i was still browsing through the profile to find out the legitimacy but of course this is just more scam stuff. Thanks for setting me straight.
Scammers will do anything to make the cash come out of your pockers and they will laugh at you when they do
Please "help" all these "poor people" in "their fight against cancer" for which they "cannot pay surgery"
Or block them, whichever suits you best.

These opportunistic actions greatly harm those who genuinely need help.
I utterly condemn that!!! 🚫
Fucked up
So terrible that Jack and Nathan identical twins both have cancer. /s
Looks like Tina is gone but not before they zapped me 8 sats.
What could be the next possible narratives after “fight against cancer”? Get prepared 🫣
