I got excited for a minute, seeing a seemingly legitimate email from npub1z94fpw2tzy5p2r5rjtnkmdh6jz47l0m9sf9jeymksfxs4ppgzafqtsxc7v (npub1z94…xc7v) wanting to sponsor the channel, but then the sender sent me a link to a password protected PDF in a Dropbox, offering unreasonable sums of money (if I could charge 2500 USD per video, I’d be extremely rich by now), and a shady request for my payment details (which would be sent through an invoice normally).
Yep, it was a scam. Sad face. Fortunately I noticed it early!
