Appreciate this channel fr. He don't just report a story everyone else already reported 7 times. He finds a story, then goes further to find evidence, wallet transactions, and even contacting directly to get all facts out. Goated reporting
he's often the first or one of the first guys with the story, then they'll be a dozen or so youtubers that react to his video. i notice it in my subscriptions all the time lol
Yeah as long as there are no actual laws in place a DM from coffezilla means..nothing, they're gonna set up new fake accounts get new strawmen make more millions..NFTs are a fucking cancer
@@deathtoraiden2080 yeah, but even though prison isn't on the table, exposure means less victims and less money, which I think these assholes care more about anyway.
@@tobi_talks_2_much eh they already made their quick dollar. Doubt it matters much to them. More so their reputation but even that doesn’t mean much to them if they are doing this. They’ll continue in anonymity like all scammers with no consequences.
I’m old but stay informed. You do great work. Something I’ve noticed. The motivations, techniques, and mentality have not changed in my lifetime. Neither have the motivations and weaknesses of victims.
It seems crazy to me that anyone could buy into any nft without thinking it's a scam.... Like.. even if the person behind the project is totally above board and not scamming anyone... You're still buying an nft..... You're buying nothing. How could that be anything other than a scam?
It's like buying a rare collectable except one day your collectible could just be gone forever (since the databases with the images are off chain and could just be taken down). If you want to do this, go buy trading cards. They have slightly more utility (if you get a card that has some in game value) but are also physical things that will stay the same. To be clear, I do not advocate investing a lot in collectibles (a bit of diversification into the market is probably fine), but if your going to buy an NFT just buy a collectibles instead I beg
@@Drakshl Can anyone explain me about this NFTs thing? I understand the concept of digital property. But how are people buying a bunch of "art" that's being made on the spot and who are even the artists doing these pieces of heart. Majority looks like shit and the same...I've even seen straightforward paint designs. How does the scam actually works?
Lmao I was actually approached by this Gavin dude to do artwork at one point late last year! Kinda sussed it out when I saw he had no real activity relating to NFTs or artwork. Large follow count and minimal content was a huge red flag as well. Sounds like I dodged the sweatshop.
How can anyone not be proud to follow this channel? Well done on more hard work exposing yet another scam, I hope these kids get some good jail time and learn from it, although most scammers of money and fraud get away with it like some of those live streamers you spoke about in the last few weeks. Keep up the amazing content! Glad I found you!
@@SupremeChimp Modern Art is all about perception. It is all based on someone telling you the value. The difference between modern art and a NFT is the emotion that is actually poured into a modern art painting. A NFT is just some clipart jpeg duplicated 30 times with different accessories. I only say that based on the most popular ones people are going nuts over. There are actual NFTs I have purchased and use a background but they cost pennies on the dollar compared to a monkey with a nose ring.
Yes, they are heavily misrepresented as owning art, when really they own a spot on some companies database which I'd represented by a computer generated image, or that's what I understand anyways. There's a video titled "what really is an nft" or something like that, that explains what they really are.
No. They're not. Maybe if people would figure out that dumbass cartoon lions and apes do not entirely define the actual concept of an NFT then this would be more common knowledge. You're just lumping in the absolutely stupidest applications of it with any legitimate ones.
Appreciate not only Coffeezilla but all channels that call out scammers and even go further to protect those who are vulnerable like seniors. These people are the worst.
I’ve worked with all of these guys on a rug called Portal. Didn’t know it was a rug before but they ended up screwing me over. Glad to see your shedding light to the shit they’re doing
PLEASE NEVER stop doing this. We're going to need you exposing these people forever and you're SO good at it! Hahaha but seriously, thank you. I appreciate knowing you're out there doing this work so I can rest a little easier as I try to make my small dent in the world :)
We shot you some emails about a massive crypto scam over the past few months... Hopefully we will hear back as the investors who were stolen from would at least be comforted by your coverage - since the authorities are doing nothing about it!
I don't know man. If you threaten my parents with stuff like that, things are going to escalate rather quickly. It's one thing when internet tough guys want to threaten you from a faceless avatar. It's totally different when you know who's on the other side of that screen
Yeah not sure why you wouldnt just turn those messages over to police. Especially if you know exactly who its coming from. Threats of violence/death and the like are federal crimes.
Ya but the situation a lot of the time is they know everything about you, prolly run background check and find all your socials and family members etc and all you know is their fake profile and google voice #. It happened to me recently and dude starts messaging my fiancés mom to show how serious he was.
Coffee, you're starting to figure it out. Devs do this on nearly every coin. The entire shtick is basically convincing people that it's a legitimate project. Every dev team buys their own project; they'll even time it during specific marketing campaign's to make the volume seem legitimate. These guys run around obscuring their identity. They'll hire people to pose as CEO, marketing this, community manager etc. They'll have 90% of their own token spread through 5000 wallets. Everytime somebody buys 1000$? They'll sell 900$
Any NFT's that involve an image with no alternative value or usage case is a scam. Even if they do have an alternative use, 99% of the time, it's a scam. Don't buy NFT's. In the future, maybe they will be different. But right here, right now, NFT's have no value and if anything, are making it harder on themselves to grow into something better.
Okay, dangit! I'm subscribing! I have to admit that I watch your show because of the excellent production value, your writing and presentation. Well done!
Yo, if they actually did put out fake accusatory articles claiming that people committed SA against minors, that shit NEEDS to go to law enforcement. Same with the death threats and vague threats against families. But especially if you're making accusations that could ruin peoples' lives and careers, as well as muddy the waters on the safety and wellbeing of children, the legal system and police need to be involved. Scamming in an unregulated market is shitty behavior, but false flagging criminal activity and threatening people with violence is outright illegal.
Buying NFTs is the equivalent of buying a balloon in international free balloon day. Even if they are a scam or not, which in a lot of cases they are, the whole concept is incredibly dumb
I don't ordinarily attribute intelligence to trustworthiness, but it's interesting how many of these scammers make small mistakes using the wrong word in an effort to sound smarter than they are. Saying "ferment fear" instead of "foment fear" doesn't mean anything at first glance, but it does make me think this is someone who is trying to present themselves as more knowledgeable and therefore more trustworthy.
Reminds me of people that say you will "loose your money". How tha F do you not know the difference between lose and loose AS AN ADULT is beyond my ability to comprehend.
Threatening to kill someone is an actual offense unlike crypto scams... hopefully they did actually make these threats and law enforcement can step in and arrest them.
the original report was written by other members of the community. And it was all traceable thanks to blockchain. people will launch scams on different mediums but there's good people/projects in nfts too
@@idonthaveonewhy no they don't. Fans push air with angled blades. Very much like how propellers work. If you rotate it the other way, it will push air the opposite direction.
You're gonna have an endless amount of content to work through while to whole NFT space is getting bigger & bigger. A lot of indian and chinese scammers are joining the market. As well as those crappy celebs. Btw., that volume faking at 9:00 is pretty common to push the NFT in the rankings. That's how actual volume is joining the market.
As someone who has nothing to do with the crypto/nft space... are any of these projects not scams? Seems like even the not rug pull ones are just playing hot potato with a bunch of people using money.
@3:04 the guy sitting next to Gavin, me and multiple friends knew growing up in high school. Let me tell you he was always trying to get people on these get rich quick schemes back then. & let me remind you this way around 2011, so over 10 years ago. To see him next to this guy Gavin who is running these schemes makes total sense now. Literally knew something was up with him because all my friends will always tell me about him trying to get to invest in these weird project/schemes. Funny how nothing changes from 10 years ago to now. Honestly I think his name is Travis if I’m correct, not sure on name, but that’s him alright
I joined this channel when you had just got going. I had met that Jetsetfly fruit cup and couldn’t stand him. He wreaked of a slime ball narcissist and sure enough 6 months later you exposed tf out of him lol You’ve come along way! Killing it
Hats off to you Mr. Zilla. Well made video once again helping the average Joe to not get scammed. This NFT craze is bringing a lot of negative attention to the cryptosphere as a whole and I sincerely hope this low quality jpg fad will be a thing of the past soon.
To the people that are being threatened, could you use a grabify link and send it to these scammers and make some false baloney to get them to click on it As long as they don't have vpn the grabify should tell you what their ip address is and you can report it to the police
One thing I learned while watching these videos is that if people have to say it isn’t a scam, it probably is. If they say it’s risk free, it’s more than likely full of risks. The only winning move with crypto is not to play.
These things are the most rediculous things I've ever imagined. Hundreds of thousands, to millions of dollars on cookie cutter "art", time and time again...
Is our society so spiritually corrupt and bankrupt that hardly anything is mentioned about the lack of creativity behind 99.999% of the ‘ art ‘? You know the bit that’s meant to offer some aesthetic value but hardly ever does. Where are the parents of these kids? Actually don’t answer, cos they’re possibly bankrolling these schemes. Just awful and depressing.
It pisses me off that none of this ever comes to anything at all... They walk away with Millions after scamming people and just carry on their lives (Now richer).
assuming the "profit" is mostly fake, they probably lost more in fees than they made from anyone that did buy legitimately. But given the profit margins, the occasional failure can still be a net return unless they consistently fail from here on out. Though they are keenly aware the bubble is gonna burst soon, so probably aren't THAT stressed over it. Since they've still made 10's of millions on their other rug-pulls and mostly just putting in low effort at this point to scrap the bottom of the barrel.
COPY N PASTE - To the people that are being threatened, could you use a grabify link and send it to these scammers and make some false baloney to get them to click on it As long as they don't have vpn the grabify should tell you what their ip address is and you can report it to the police.
just a question of time until the cartels dispose of the first few of their NFT money laundering strawmen on video before they can spread details to the authorities, i fear these teens aren't aware about what waters they are getting into with such things....

You're gonna have an endless amount of content to work through while to whole NFT space is getting bigger & bigger. A lot of indian and chinese scammers are joining the market. As well as those crappy celebs.
Btw., that volume faking at 9:00 is pretty common to push the NFT in the rankings. That's how actual volume is joining the market.
Indians in NFT scams, what? They can't possibly be that advanced. Its a third world country. Pakistan is developing country. 🇵🇰
@@IScreenshotNFTs oh I don't think you know how simple nfts are to create, even a kid with a laptop and a few video with some cash could do it 😂😂😂
@@IScreenshotNFTs and India is no third world country no more 😂😂😂
It is so easy write a script to make a bunch of accounts and use them to buy nfts.
@@CutGossip It is third world. Even countries like Africa don't 💩 on streets.
Ur almost at 1 mil bro let’s goooo keep up the good work💯
I'm watching this in 2024 coffee hair cut is crazy 🤣🤣🤣
Keep up the great work Coffee!
As someone who has nothing to do with the crypto/nft space... are any of these projects not scams? Seems like even the not rug pull ones are just playing hot potato with a bunch of people using money.
There’s a lot of people who will tell you that some of it is legit… but I wouldn’t trust it.
None. The best you can say about them are that they are just fundamentally worthless speculative vehicle, even worse than penny stocks.
I mean i bought an Ape in June. Now im a millionaire so i guess it does have worth
@@Johanalum An actual millionaire wouldn't be wasting time in UA-cam comments.
@@Johanalum this comment is satire. Just reminding y’all
Question, when is a NFT not a cash grab? Genuine question, since you said that what they put out is just a cash grab every time.
There are some potential niche uses, but every current implementation is at best a speculative vehicle.
@3:04 the guy sitting next to Gavin, me and multiple friends knew growing up in high school. Let me tell you he was always trying to get people on these get rich quick schemes back then. & let me remind you this way around 2011, so over 10 years ago. To see him next to this guy Gavin who is running these schemes makes total sense now. Literally knew something was up with him because all my friends will always tell me about him trying to get to invest in these weird project/schemes. Funny how nothing changes from 10 years ago to now. Honestly I think his name is Travis if I’m correct, not sure on name, but that’s him alright
LOVE YOU COFFEE!!!!! The world needs more yous
How to tell if an NFT Project is a scam in 2 easy steps:
Step 1: it's selling NFTs
Step 2: there is no step 2
I hope they start prosecuting these scammers. It's not like this is legal. It's just so new that the law hasn't caught up with it yet.
☝️Helpline..
When the feds start regulating the NFT market they better hire you to lead that division
Wooo go coffee Zilla. These guys got charged finally
I joined this channel when you had just got going. I had met that Jetsetfly fruit cup and couldn’t stand him. He wreaked of a slime ball narcissist and sure enough 6 months later you exposed tf out of him lol You’ve come along way! Killing it
Hats off to you Mr. Zilla. Well made video once again helping the average Joe to not get scammed. This NFT craze is bringing a lot of negative attention to the cryptosphere as a whole and I sincerely hope this low quality jpg fad will be a thing of the past soon.
To the people that are being threatened,
could you use a grabify link and send it to these scammers
and make some false baloney to get them to click on it
As long as they don't have vpn the grabify should tell you what their ip address is
and you can report it to the police
NFT Scammer : “We are running out of names, what do we call this project?….”
NFT Scammer “Fuck it. Squiggles it is. These idiots will buy anything”
Coffee the GOAT man, you just have to love him.
One thing I learned while watching these videos is that if people have to say it isn’t a scam, it probably is. If they say it’s risk free, it’s more than likely full of risks. The only winning move with crypto is not to play.
Watch your back coffee! You're exposing so many ppl back to back 🤣
Well this isn't ominous at all 🤣
Ive often wondered about the shadow figures behind these scams, how much of the rug pulls are people buying in vs laundering money and crypto.
These things are the most rediculous things I've ever imagined. Hundreds of thousands, to millions of dollars on cookie cutter "art", time and time again...
Holy shit dude, this is CRAZY! 🃏
Absolutely awesome investigation again Coffee, you're the best hands down! ☕🦖
Is our society so spiritually corrupt and bankrupt that hardly anything is mentioned about the lack of creativity behind 99.999% of the ‘ art ‘? You know the bit that’s meant to offer some aesthetic value but hardly ever does. Where are the parents of these kids? Actually don’t answer, cos they’re possibly bankrolling these schemes. Just awful and depressing.
That is because all of these are computer generated, so as to churn out as many NfT ArTs as possible, then a genuine artist
It pisses me off that none of this ever comes to anything at all... They walk away with Millions after scamming people and just carry on their lives (Now richer).
assuming the "profit" is mostly fake, they probably lost more in fees than they made from anyone that did buy legitimately. But given the profit margins, the occasional failure can still be a net return unless they consistently fail from here on out.
Though they are keenly aware the bubble is gonna burst soon, so probably aren't THAT stressed over it. Since they've still made 10's of millions on their other rug-pulls and mostly just putting in low effort at this point to scrap the bottom of the barrel.
Wait arent all NFTs scams?
Only 2 stable out of hundreds of scams
Keep doing this amazing work! You’re a gift to the world thank you!
The scam culture just gets worse. I receive so many spam calls, emails, and texts since covid.. then this cesspool? We humans are wild bruh

just a question of time until the cartels dispose of the first few of their NFT money laundering strawmen on video before they can spread details to the authorities, i fear these teens aren't aware about what waters they are getting into with such things....
