“We are not an NFT game and the page below has no affiliation to Coral Island,” Stairwaytweeted, along with an image of the spoofing account. The NFT account only began posting a few days ago but, oddly, was created back in March 2020. Unlike Stairway’s real-world location of Indonesia, the NFT spoofers are, of course, located in the Metaverse. They’ve also set up their own Discord server, Instagram account, and a whole website purporting to be Stairway.
It’s good to see that the scam account has lost 90% of its followers since Stairway posted to alert people, dropping from 2500 to a mere 222 at time of writing. Stairway have been working on Coral Island for years and only launched it into early access a few weeks ago. It’s unfortunate that someone has chosen to target a small indie game like this. Responders to Stairway’s tweet said they’d reported the account to Twitter for impersonation. It isn’t the first time something like this has happened, with scammerstargetingsci-fi crafting gameOuterverseearlier this year.
