Users Lose 800 $SOL ($150K) to Scams, Warned Against Sending Crypto to Random Addresses

A series of tweets from various users have highlighted a concerning trend in the cryptocurrency community involving Solana ($SOL). Users have reported an increase in scams where individuals are tricked into sending $SOL to random addresses with the promise of returns or participation in non-existent launches, referred to as "send sol to this address" grifts. One user explicitly warned against sending $SOL to their address, stating they would keep any transferred funds without launching any project, emphasizing they are "not launching shit." Another tweet revealed a scam where a person received 800 $SOL (approximately $150,000) by exploiting this tactic, criticizing the community for "conditioning ppl to do stupid things" like participating in these scams. The community is being urged to exercise caution and stop participating in these fraudulent activities.
