Using Outerverse’s name and art for fake blockchain metajunk
Everyone can agree that it is at least a little bit funny when scammers run fake NFT drops and cryptocurrencies to fleece idiots, but it’s less funny when innocent people get caught up in a scam. The publishers ofOuterverse, a game about building automation and battling bosses, say scammers are pretending to run a blockchain version of the game and using this to sell cryptocurrency. It seems an obvious scam, which can’t be good for the game’s image.

“$OUTERVERSE is developed Game Metaverse & DexSwap platform that connects gamers and enables trade token,” the website says. “This gives $OUTERVERSE a real practical utility within the OUTERVERSE ecosystem. Embrace a platform where gamers and blockchain converge!”
Mate that’s just words. No particular words. Just some words. I also like that a link pointing to a section on ‘tokenomics’ (an actual real cryptocurrency term) is labelled “takenomics”, a delicious Freudian slip. Eventhe site selling $OUTERVERSEwarns, “Anyone can create a BEP20 token on BSC with any name, including creating fake versions of existing tokens and tokens that claim to represent projects that do not have a token.” I cannot imagine reading all of this and thinking “Yes, that’s for me.”
