So I've been watching a SCAM unfold for the past few days...

I've been watching a SCAM meme coin unfold that went mainstream. Why did I do so? The market is up, so I've been sitting on my hands, quite bored :)

THIS IS A SCAM PROJECT AND ALL THE OTHERS THAT FOLLOW IT ON TG ARE ALSO SCAMS. DO NOT EVEN CONNECT YOUR WALLET TO THIS SCAM SITE!

The scam "project" is called MICKEY.

Contract: 0xE57A26f5a007968F0fCA7a156333bF082841E94D

I'm not even give you the website for it here because, some of you are such crypto degenerates you might actually give them a buck! lol

It's a usual run of the mill shitcoin with a black and white website (really?!), a telegram channel full of bots and a few fools who clearly are already picking out their lambo colors :)

Why am I writing about it you may ask? Well... because of how I found it.

The article about this shit coin was trending on CoinStats News Feed.

They capitalized on the fact that the 1928 Mickey is off trademark in the US now, and got some money out of noobs.

Now my question to those more knowledgeable is, HOW the hell do they get this crap to show up on peoples news feeds as actual "news"? I've seen some other questionable "news" recently and I can't help but wonder? Do they pay to have a quick AI created article posted on a website thats affiliated with CoinStats? Anybody?

There are articles about it on YahooFinance and InsideBitcoins... YahooFinance, like what?

FYI, no I did not buy any of it :) I was more concerned with how they manage to go viral, so I tracked it, but found nothing.
