Jaychris.eth joins a rapidly growing list of NFT traders who have fallen victim to phishing schemes. Earlier this month, Adamv.eth, a renowned non-fungible token collector and a crypto influencer, also got his Rectguys, Kodas, and Otherdeed NFT collections drained after clinking a fraudulent phishing link, thinking it was clustersxyz official launching.

Drained of all my Otherdeeds and Kodas. Never thought it would happen to me. I was highly anticipating the @clustersxyz launch this morning. Saw this post appear on their announcement thread and connected. Boom. 2 Kodas, 11 Otherdeeds, 2 Rektguys & 1 HVMTL gone.
