Ozzy Osbourne’s NFT project shared a scam link, and followers lost thousands of dollars

But just two days after the tokens were minted, supporters are being targeted by a phishing scam that drains cryptocurrency from their wallets, playing off a bad link shared by the project’s official Twitter account.

When the project switched to the new URL, scammers set up a fake Discord server at the old one. But neither CryptoBatz nor Ozzy Osbourne took the precaution of deleting tweets referencing the previous URL, meaning that old tweets from Osbourne himself were left directing followers to a server now controlled by scammers.

Inside the server, a bot spoofing community management service Collab Land asked users to verify their crypto assets to participate in the server — but directed users to a phishing site where they were prompted to connect their cryptocurrency wallets.Tim Silman, a nonprofit employee, is one person who lost money through the scam. Silman estimates that around $300–400 in ETH was drained from his wallet after he visited the fake Discord server through a link posted on the CryptoBatz website..

Isn't that a feature, not a bug?

Ozzy shares a scam link, would have also worked as a descriptor for NFTs.

In all fairness, they just lost it in another way than the others Finding an idiot who buys the NFTs you bought as 'Investment' is the hard part BTW, did you happen to know what NFT is short for?

Smart people never got involved.
