GME NFT Scamcoins, a Retroactive on yesterday events.

[DD 👨‍🔬](https://www.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/search?q=flair_name%3A%22DD%20%F0%9F%91%A8%E2%80%8D%F0%9F%94%AC%22&restrict_sr=1)
Hey Apes!
After yesterdays event where a user ended up purchasing a scam coin, I thought I would quickly write up a DD on how scamcoins commonly target uninformed GME investors.
This is my first attempt at writing anything that looks like a DD, and I will be focusing on a retroactive of the event and some things that you can look out for to prevent becoming a victim of these scamcoins.
If you think you are immune to being scammed, there is some interesting information on how easy it is to fool people on the internet [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ).
Please let me know if there is anywhere where I can add more context or information, and especially if I got anything wrong, or was unclear. I will be periodically updating this post with information from the comments to make it a better resource.
1\. The anatomy of a scam
Any scam has three core components.
1. Get the targets trust
2. Convince the target to give you their money
3. Get away before the target realizes they have been scammed.
I will be covering these steps by giving examples from some common scams. I will then proceed to outline how I believe these steps happen in the new GME scamcoins.
- [Three-card Monte](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-card_Monte)
- A confidence scam where shills conspire with a scammer to convince a target that they can win money in a street game.
- [Forex Scam](https://www.investopedia.com/articles/forex/09/spot-a-forex-scam.asp)
- A scam where a "professional trader" has some "special formula" that they can use to invest your money in foreign exchange markets.
- [Tech support scam](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technical_support_scam)
- A scammer calls a target and convinces them that there is a problem with their computer, which can only be fixed with their special antivirus software. The scammer will often request remote access to the targets computer, and may even request access to the targets bank account.
- [Romance Scam](https://www.fbi.gov/scams-and-safety/common-scams-and-crimes/romance-scams)
- The scammer pretends to be romantically interested in the target.
1.1 Trust
The first task of any scammer is to gain the targets trust. The target needs to believe that the scammer can provide something they want.
Three-card Monte
In this scam, the target wants to win a bet against the scammer in order to increase the amount of cash they have. The scammer gains trust by having shills publicly lose to them in the three-card Monte game, building the illusion that the target has a realistic chance of winning.
Forex Scam
In this scam, the target wants to earn passive income via investing. The scammer gains trust by showing the target some of the gains their trading platform or software is capable of. This is usually done through some form of internet communication, such as email or direct-messages on social media. Fabricated screenshots may be used to increase the perceived legitimacy of the scammer.
Tech support scam
The scammer pretends to be a representative of a well known company such as Microsoft or Amazon. They rely on the target trusting the reputations of large companies whose names they recognize, and the scammer may add a sense of urgency to the scam which can further impair the targets judgement.
Romance Scam
This is one of the more vile scams. The scammer builds the targets trust by pretending to be romantically interested in the target. The goal is to make the target believe that they have a genuine relationship with the scammer, and who doesn't trust the person they are in a relationship with!
1.2 Extracting the targets money
The second step, once the target trusts the scammer is to convince the target to give the scammer money.
Three-card Monte
This one is fairly obvious. The target puts forward money in a bet on the game, not knowing that the game is rigged and they cannot win. The scammer or shill may encourage the target to keep trying, as they "Just got unlucky". At this point the scam relies on the target believing that they can still make their money back, while they lose more and more.
Forex Scam
The scammer request access to the targets trading account, or requests that the target send them some money to get started. If the target is still hesitant, the scammer may request a smaller amount, and then provides some fake return on investment to further build the targets trust. The scammer will keep demanding higher deposits while promising that the system is working, until the target catches on.
Tech support scam
The scammer requests remote access to the targets computer, often under the guise of running diagnostics. Once they have "run their diagnostics", they will try to sell some overpriced antivirus software. To extract further money from the target, the scammer may call back at a later date, and either try to get the target to pay for a renewal, or offer a "refund" which they "over-pay", and then have the target send the difference back to them. Often the scammer edits HTML on the targets bank page, or has the transaction reversed before the target sends them the difference back.
Romance scam
The scammer contacts the target, who believes they are in a long distance relationship with the scammer. The scammer will tell the target that they have run into legal trouble, and need some money sent to them to cover bail or a lawyers fee. Other iterations of the scam may request money for fuel, gifts, medical bills, car repairs, or anything else you can imagine. The requests keep coming in as long as the target believes that the relationship is genuine. During this process the scammer will encourage the target to take out loans and max out credit cards, even borrow money from friends and family.
1.3 The Getaway
The final part of the scam is getting away without the target knowing they have been scammed, or not being able to do anything about it.
Three-card Monte
The target eventually realizes that they are not going to win, or runs out of cash. The scammer and shill may pack up the game in a hurry and run if the target is angry or indicates they may make trouble, otherwise they will just convince the target that they got unlucky. This scam is often targeted toward tourists, as this prevents targets coming to personally recognize the scammers.
Forex and tech support
The scammer will stop responding to the target, and will launder the money any number of ways. The target never actually knew the real identity of the scammer, and was most likely paying money into a stolen or foreign (or both) bank account.
Romance Scam
If the scammer is called out on their scam, they will often start gaslighting their target. Often, due to the nature of the relationship in the scam, the target will not believe that they are being scammed, even when provided with otherwise irrefutable evidence. If they do eventually catch on, the scammer often has the same anonymity as in the Forex and Tech support scams. The target doesn't know the scammers real identity and has little to no recourse to get their money back.
2\. The GME NFT Scam
At this point you are probably thinking: That's interesting Lucent_Sable, but what does it have to do with GME?
2.1 History of GME NFT
Apes recently discovered that Gamestop is working on something to do with Etherium NFT tokens. This was found through an official Gamestop website: [nft.gamestop.com](https://nft.gamestop.com/). This is our root of trust, we know that this is officially Gamestop, as it is on the Gamestop.com domain.
On this website, there is an Etherium address: 0x13374200c29C757FDCc72F15Da98fb94f286d71e.
Apes looked into this address on [etherscan](https://etherscan.io/address/0x13374200c29C757FDCc72F15Da98fb94f286d71e), and found the contract for a GME coin. We know that we can trust this contract at this specific address, because it is on the official Gamestop web-site.
A screenshot of the etherscan page is available [here](https://i.imgur.com/u2Pvega.png).
In the screenshot, the areas outlined in Green are things that we can trust as directly describing the contract and the creator of the contract. Areas outlined in Red are things that anyone can influence by interacting with the contract, we cannot trust the information in these as they are influenced by public activity. The area in black is an information block, related to what is selected.
From the information on this page that we can trust, we can determine the following
1. The contract was created by another contract: 0xce0042B868300000d44A59004Da54A005ffdcf9f
2. The contract describes a token called Gamestop (GME)
3. The code of the contract, which has been analysed by apes for important information
These are the facts about the contract that we know we can trust. [u/teacoat___](https://www.reddit.com/u/teacoat___/) consolidated this information in their [DD here](https://www.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/comments/nl0lk1/gme_token_info/).
Now that we have established what we know, on to the scam...
2.2 The scam
Yesterday, [u/samyall](https://www.reddit.com/u/samyall/) noticed a transaction involving the GME contract, in [this thread](https://www.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/comments/o9967o/gme_just_transferred_42069_gmetoken_to_itself_on/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share).
Let me be very clear: I am not accusing samyall of anything, and believe that they were deceived by the scammers.
Image for following discussion [here](https://i.imgur.com/cZHRbfI.png).
2.2.1 Building trust
The information provided in samyalls post shows information on the "Erc20 Token Txns" tab. If a user is unfamiliar with what this is, they may incorrectly assume that the information in this tab is from Gamestop, as it is on the page for the official gamestop token. We know that this is not true and that anyone can send tokens to the contract address without Gamestop approving the transaction.
Second, we can look at the address that sent this scamcoin to the official Gamestop contract. The address of this scammer is\
0x133742073133c9aecdEC3a87e475C2945f23D6C0\
which at first glance is very similar to the contract address\
0x13374200c29C757FDCc72F15Da98fb94f286d71e\
I believe that this address was specifically crafted to further build trust. The most recognisable first digits of the contract address and the scammers address (0x1337420) match, and many users would not look much further than that.
Third, we look at the name of the token that the scammer sent to Gamestop. This scamcoin is called "GameStop (GME)", which is very similar to the official token name "Gamestop (GME)".
Finally, we can look at the etherscan profile of the scammer address (image [here](https://i.imgur.com/yiRkV5U.png)) This shows that the scammer created 69,420,000 tokens. This is both similar to the number of outstanding shares ~70 Million, and a funny internet number (69 & 420 are in it). This further builds legitimacy as it is similar to what we would expect to see, and plays to our biases.
2.2.2 Extracting money
The scammer had convinced at least one member of our community ([u/shroommyBoom](https://www.reddit.com/u/shroommyBoom/)) was convinced by this scam coin, and lost about $30, in this [post](https://old.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/comments/o99ms3/stay_calm_but_i_think_the_nft_is_now_available_to/). As you can see, the extraction of money from this scam is very easy, as all you have to do is convince the target that they want to purchase your scamcoin.
2.2.3 The Getaway
In this instance, the getaway is simple, as crypto provides both anonymity and irreversibility, so the scammer can simply disappear without anyone ever having known their identity.
3\. Key Takeaways (TLDR)
Be careful when interprating information about the Gamestop NFT, make sure that you can verify that you trust the source of the information. Just because the information is on the official contracts Etherscan page, doesn't mean the information is endorced by Gamestop.
At least one member of the community has been scammed by this scammer, and lost a small amount of money.
Scammers will try many tricks to get you to trust them, and separate you from your money. Don't fall for it, and if in doubt use the four-hour rule. Post on superstonk and give about 4 hours for other members of the community to analyze and sniff out anything suspicious. Remeber, nothing is urgent around here.

Clarifying NFT's: What they are good for, and what they are not

[Education 👨‍🏫 | Data 🔢](https://www.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/search?q=flair_name%3A%22Education%20%F0%9F%91%A8%E2%80%8D%F0%9F%8F%AB%20%7C%20Data%20%F0%9F%94%A2%22&restrict_sr=1)
Note\
Etherium is an incorrect spelling. The correct spelling is filtered by automod. Since it is related to GameStop, blocking it is, in my opinion, absurd. Especially since it isn't even the correct name of the currency. For a sub that values open discourse and informed discussion, this is pretty disappointing.
Intro
NFT's have been getting a lot of attention lately due to the GameStop NFT, with a lot of the discussion demonstrating a lack of understanding on what exactly an NFT is and what it can be used for, so I thought I'd help explain some of the technical wizardry that is blockchain and its latest buzzword-craze.
Blockchain
A blockchain is a transactional database (ledger) that is stored and validated by many different computers. Imagine a bank statement that is verified and saved by thousands of different computers. This makes it virtually impossible to fraudulently alter if sufficiently decentralized. There are multiple methods blockchains can use to ensure that the network is decentralized to maintain security. Understanding them is beyond the scope of this post, but the major methods are proof of work and proof of stake. The main one relevant to GameStop is proof of stake, since the network they are using, Etherium, is upgrading to proof of stake in the near future.
Etherium
Etherium differs from the original blockchain design by implementing smart contracts. Smart contracts are computer programs that run on the blockchain, allowing developers to leverage security and reliability of blockchain technology for limitless possibilities. One these use cases are custom assets that do not require their own blockchain, vastly simplifying secure deployment. These are called tokens.
Token
A token is a a term used for user-created coins on the Etherium network, essentially anything that isn't the core currency. Etherium transactions are not free. The cost depends on the relative processing power required to complete the transaction, so keeping programs as simple as possible is important. Which is why there are multiple types of tokens instead of a single all-purpose type. There are two major types:
1. ERC20\
The typical token of the Etherium network. They are *fungible*, meaning every token is entirely identical. Because token ownership is basic to keep track of, only needing the owner address and quantity, usage is simple and each transaction is inexpensive.
2. ERC721\
An alternative to ERC20 tokens that provide greater utility. They are *non-fungible tokens*, so each token has unique identifiers and metadata. An ERC721 token can store many more data fields, making them comparatively expensive to create and transact. They are not a direct replacement for ERC20 tokens, primarily due to the added expense and complexity.
Now that definitions are out of the way, lets get in to what does and does not make sense for GameStop to use an NFT for:
Non-Fungible Token (ERC721) uses:
1. Collectibles Things like playing cards or in-game items
2. Licenses/ownership certificates Like video games, for enabling trading of used games
Fungible token (ERC20) uses:
1. Crypto dividends\
Stocks are fungible, so why wouldn't a dividend be too? Not only would an NFT dividend be wasteful, it would also mean that our identical shares wouldn't net us an identical reward, which is completely nonsensical in my opinion.
2. Stock market shares\
If the stock market were to be run on the blockchain, NFT's wouldn't just be wasteful or unfair, they would be completely insane. Storing billions of NFT's (one for every share) instead of thousands of ERC20's (one for each stock) would be vastly more resource intensive for no benefit.
Please let me know if you find a mistake. Criticisms welcome. Thanks for reading!
Smooth-brain simplification edit:
All the pros of a crypto dividend (like GameStop having sole distribution capability) remain with a *fungible* (ERC20) token. A *Non-Fungible Token* (ERC721, NFT) has cons that wouldn't make sense for this purpose.

A Deep Dive into nft.gamestop.com

[DD 👨‍🔬](https://www.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/search?q=flair_name%3A%22DD%20%F0%9F%91%A8%E2%80%8D%F0%9F%94%AC%22&restrict_sr=1)
To start, PLEASE take a look at the graphic as it shows the relationships between the GME tokens a lot more clearly than I've seen anywhere else so far - [GitHub - schismsaints/GME_NFT](https://github.com/schismsaints/GME_NFT)
Like many, I was intrigued when I heard about GameStop dabbling in NFT - first, through the [job postings](https://finance.yahoo.com/news/gamestop-hiring-blockchain-analyst-specializing-075700175.html), then with [nft.gamestop.com](https://nft.gamestop.com/). I did a [brief dive into some of the smart contract details](https://www.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/comments/nkxrhe/umm_guys_i_think_i_just_found_something/gzgpytb/?context=3) back when it initially came out but recently have gone much further down the rabbit hole.
I'll summarize some of the juicier bits and provide some speculation as to what it could mean as well as some resources to familiarize yourself with some of the details of blockchain, smart contracts, and tokens, but I have put together a [larger graphic](https://github.com/schismsaints/GME_NFT) in PNG/PDF/SVG formats visualizing some of the connections a little better (fair warning, I'm an engineer not an artist). I recommend loading it in a full web browser on as large of a monitor as possible. You'll understand why when you see it.
First, a few key terms/concepts.
Blockchain: In very simplistic terms, think of the blockchain as a ledger/record keeping system where each 'block' is a record and linked to the previous and next blocks in a chain. The process of adding a new 'block' involves computing and verifying prior information in the chain to ensure that nothing has been tampered with and that the full history of the chain is intact.
[Blockchain Definition: What You Need to Know (investopedia.com)](https://www.investopedia.com/terms/b/blockchain.asp)
Fungible: "being something (such as money or a commodity) of such a nature that one part or quantity may be replaced by another equal part or quantity in paying a debt or settling an account " (src: dictionary.com)
Token: This is probably the part most people understand, though there are some nuances. There are two types of tokens and a number of differing implementation standards.
- Fungible Token - ERC-20: A token that is one of a pool of identical tokens. They can be split, transferred, or exchanged and are commonly used as currencies. Most established mainstream or alt- coins fall into this category.
- [Cryptocurrency Definition (investopedia.com)](https://www.investopedia.com/terms/c/cryptocurrency.asp)
- Non-Fungible Token (NFT) - ERC-721/ERC-1155: A non-fungible token is a unique entity on the blockchain. There are no others exactly like it, and it has its own record of ownership, attributes/metadata, and cannot be substituted for another token identically. [CryptoKitties](https://www.cryptokitties.co/) is one of the most popular examples as they basically pioneered the ERC-721 standard. NFT artwork is another recently popularized example of this.

Non-Fungible Kitties!
Smart Contract: A smart contract is a way to automate 'stuff'. That 'stuff' can be any number of tasks but some of the most common ones include creating (minting) or destroying (burning) tokens from an available pool. This can be fungible or non-fungible tokens (or, in the case of ERC-1155, both/either).
[Smart Contracts Definition (investopedia.com)](https://www.investopedia.com/terms/s/smart-contracts.asp)
The GME NFT story started in earnest with GameOn Anon, the smart contract address posted at [nft.gamestop.com](https://nft.gamestop.com/)
[![r/Superstonk - A Deep Dive into nft.gamestop.com](https://preview.redd.it/x352qjj57n971.png?width=268&format=png&auto=webp&s=2c0d1ab1a3a208cd3b86a9dc799603a52463edd0)](https://preview.redd.it/x352qjj57n971.png?width=268&format=png&auto=webp&s=2c0d1ab1a3a208cd3b86a9dc799603a52463edd0)
Power to the Players
[0x13374200c29C757FDCc72F15Da98fb94f286d71e](https://etherscan.io/address/0x13374200c29C757FDCc72F15Da98fb94f286d71e)
There are a lot of interesting threads from the smart contract, the most well known of which is the "launchDate" variable which equals 04:20 PDT 7/14/21 (come on, that can't *not* be intentional).
[![r/Superstonk - A Deep Dive into nft.gamestop.com](https://preview.redd.it/bja10vi67n971.png?width=633&format=png&auto=webp&s=a2cb5526b08222b15f4cfb9b8284c5faac57585d)](https://preview.redd.it/bja10vi67n971.png?width=633&format=png&auto=webp&s=a2cb5526b08222b15f4cfb9b8284c5faac57585d)
The [owner](https://etherscan.io/address/0x10b16eede03cf73cbf44e4bfffa3e6bff36f1fad) of the smart contract is also interesting.
It owns the only GME ERC-721 token, 420.69 of the GME ERC-20 token, an E t h e r e u m Name Service record ([gamestopnft](https://etherscan.io/token/0x57f1887a8bf19b14fc0df6fd9b2acc9af147ea85?a=0x10b16eede03cf73cbf44e4bfffa3e6bff36f1fad#inventory)), and the 1337 [email signature](https://etherscan.io/token/0xc9ff785a33f2000652d0336e476a06ccd909317a?a=0x10b16eede03cf73cbf44e4bfffa3e6bff36f1fad#inventory) prefix used for several blockchain constructs.
It also received 0.00001337 E t h e r on 5/25/21 from andrwyng (wut doing Andrew Yang??)

False alarm, but had me very intrigued when I saw it initially.
There are three GameStop specific tokens they appear to be working with, along with a number (>20) altcoins and other tokens.
- [GME Coin (ERC-20)](https://etherscan.io/token/0xd4596454a0e145842d1319d6921399e8e1622ad7) - Qty 12,000,000
- Possible online store/digital currency? Would be interesting if it functioned similar to a [stablecoin](https://www.investopedia.com/terms/s/stablecoin.asp) pinned to the dollar
- [GameStop (ERC-20)](https://etherscan.io/token/0x5b7d043ecb3a694069cc01e763159ea1bde0541d) - Qty 69,420,000
- They moved a large amount of this (>50%) to [Uniswap](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniswap) which in layman's terms can be considered as kind of an escrow/holding/forex account but in the crypto realm. Quite a few have been distributed from here to over 60 different destination addresses.
- Yahoo! Finance lists the 'Implied Shares Outstanding' for GME as 69.38M, which is preeeeeetty close to the 69.42M tokens minted here. Could this be used as a shareholder dividend, potentially exchangeable between GameStop and GME Coin/USD?

- [Gamestop (ERC-721)](https://etherscan.io/address/0x13374200c29C757FDCc72F15Da98fb94f286d71e) - Qty 1
- There is only one of these in existence at this point with no clear use for it yet, but there are some interesting possibilities I've considered such as blockchain-based share tracking (i.e. each NFT would have a 'share # X' value on it) or as a shareholder ID token ('shareholder # X'). This one has the least clear forward looking use case at this point for me.
Possible Business Uses
- In-store currency - GME Coin can be used as an in-store currency/reward system
- Crypto swap/exchange - Partner with an established cryptocurrency company to facilitate listing and conversion/exchange between stablecoins such as USDC or miscellaneous established coins or altcoins, and GME specific tokens. Use a GME app to manage a crypto wallet and exchange between various tokens/coins/currencies.
- NFT Collectibles - i.e. CryptoKitties, Gods Unchained, etc. Facilitate in-person trading (either in-store or via app to app trading) of digital items and collectibles between platforms.
- Digital game licensing - revolutionize DRM by hosting a record of your game license on the blockchain
- In-game item transfer/entitlement - Imagine if there was a way to trade/sell your CounterStrike skins in-person for cash, or exchange a cool knife skin for a new CryptoKitty
Possible Shareholder Uses
- Shareholder record keeping - have a token proving your status as a shareholder
- Share/securities record keeping - similar, but for shares. Kind of a stretch but could be a proof of concept for blockchain based trading
- Crypto Dividend - Provide GameStop (ERC-20) tokens, even fractional ones, as a shareholder dividend. Allow conversion to USD or GMECoin/USD to cash out. Provide a way to purchase or 'auction' GameStop tokens and you now have a shareholder perk with monetary value that could appreciate over time.
Here's the PDF of the chart/diagram I put together, the github link also has PNG and SVG versions of the image.

TL:DR; GME doing crypto stuff. Lots of crypto stuff happening especially in the last week. Crypto stuff has lots of options, most of which will print money.

I like money
Edit: to answer a good point brought up by [/u/haydonny1](https://www.reddit.com/u/haydonny1/) in the previous thread before I screwed it up with this edit :( - the alt coins could be sent by any random source and aren't concrete proof of anything. I still maintain that the three GME tokens are legitimate and all have ties back to the original Smart Contract either one or two levels removed. I haven't investigated the altcoin sources enough to be able to say whether or not they're being worked on by GME at this point.

- Holds 1 Gamestop ERC-721 token

Double Edit: I'm seeing a lot of debate about the ERC-20 GameStop token and whether it's related to a scam site (game-coin or something, I think it's been pulled down and I can't find an archive now). At this point after digging multiple levels deep, I'm seeing a lot of conflicting information in the transaction logs and Uniswap destinations and I can't definitively say whether it's a scam or legit. I'm working on updating the graphic and will include a disclaimer, though I do still want to keep it in the picture until we can definitively rule it in or out.

I'd hope it should go without saying, but don't buy a GME token on something that's not a GME app :)
