Scammers use Google Ads and steal your dough

Hey Moni Maker 🏄‍♂️

Today, in 1997, world chess champion Garry Kasparov conceded defeat in a match against IBM's Deep Blue computer. That's how machines began to outplay people - literally and figuratively. First, at chess and today, we can no longer live without iPhones, Androids and our battered MacBooks. So? Remember to unplug from time to time to at least live a little. 

Let's go!

Twitter hero Serpent has told us scammers are using an exploit in Google Ads that makes the URL links of the real project and the fraudulent one the same. Yes... 

So, you see a project advertised in Google Ads. You think you know the link is correct. Then you click on it, and you are directed to a phishing site with a different URL which will try to steal your seed phrase or empty your wallet's balance. How to avoid it? 

- ALWAYS check the site URL.

- NEVER sign illegal transactions in MetaMask

- NEVER tell your seed phrase to anyone

- You may want to think about cold wallets, including setting up a separate wallet for all sorts of adventurous projects. If they hack you and take the money out, you won't feel sorry/not so scared. 

"Twitter announces the death of Azuki" are the kind of posts that crypto Twitter is now rife with. So what prompted the burying of one of the top NFT collections of the moment? MoniCryptoResearch is here to find out!

First, as you know, there was the word, the word was from Zagabond aka Funder Azuki, and it was probably sincere but a little rash. Because... it caused the minimum price of the collection to drop by 45%.

Zaganond recounted that the previous collections he had his hands on were so-so. Twitter hero ZachXBT started to "promote" this case that Auzki founder has some bad cases. As already said, Azuki's flor moved from 19 ETH to 10, and Zagabond's reputation was tarnished.

Press: Azuki funder dumping...Azuki, Elon is having fun on Twitter, and Instagram is adding support for NFT

Kawaii P2E game Nyan Heroes has raised $7,500,000 in a strategic round of game development funding. Too many clever words for a game about cats, eh?

Btw, these cats (or rather the company) are valued at $100,000,000 by investors, with funds such as Kosmos Ventures, Sino Global Capital, Shima Capital and Petrock Capita already invested in the project. The funds raised are to be spent on new hires and community interaction.

Nyan Heroes is a play-to-earn game about cats fighting each other in fighting robots. The project went public at the end of 2021 and raised $2,500,000 from Three Arrows Capital, Mechanism Capital, and Defiance Capital. It's all running on Solana blockchain and plans to launch later this year.

As you can see, there is still time before the project comes out, so look out and DYOR
