Mod Warning: Beware of DM Farming and “Easy Money” Offers
Mod Warning: Beware of DM Farming and “Easy Money” Offers
We’ve noticed posts offering money, including “$100” or similar payments, while directing members to DM the poster.
Please be careful with these. Scammers often use quick-cash offers, crypto/payment offers, “US only” requirements, vague jobs, surveys, account help, or “easy tasks” to move people into private messages. Once in DMs, they may try to collect personal information, login credentials, wallet details, seed phrases, ID photos, payment info, or other sensitive data.
Do not share:
Passwords, login codes, or 2FA codes
Seed phrases, private keys, or wallet screenshots
ID documents, selfies, address, phone number, SSN, birthday, or even your real name
Banking, PayPal, Cash App, Venmo, or crypto account details
Screenshots that expose emails, usernames, balances, wallets, or accounts
A legitimate opportunity should be transparent enough to explain the basics publicly. If someone offers easy money and immediately pushes members to DM them, treat it as a red flag.
If you already shared information:
Change passwords immediately on any affected accounts
Turn on 2FA using an authenticator app when possible
Do not send any more information, money, screenshots, or verification codes
Contact your bank/payment app if you shared financial details
Move crypto to a new wallet if you shared a seed phrase, private key, or wallet backup
Report the user to Reddit and let the mods know
Please report posts or comments that appear to be farming DMs, offering suspicious payments, or asking for sensitive information.
