A close encounter with crypto death in the flesh, or: The Babe with the Pamphlet

Last night, I was out with some friends, a shit bar in inner west Sydney. While I was sitting at the counter, I struck up a convo with an absolute stunner, blonde bondi beach type girl, why not ey? Weirdly so she was happy to have a chat. I'm early 40s stock standard dad bod Aussie guy, she was a late 20s bombshell. So red flag 1.

Got my beers and to wrap the convo up I brought up crypto, she got excited and wanted to talk a bit more about it. Red flag 2. By this point I was a few beers deep so I don't think I realized it at the time, but she actually brought up Bitcoin somewhere before I did, I got incepted.

There we are chatting about the latest trends, in crypto, a bit of AI stuff, He seemed knowledgeable and we had a good conversation about Bitcoin, Ethereum, Ripple and other shitcoins. All the while I'm just chuffed to be having a chat with a solid 10/10 compared to my 2/10 haha. She was really in the know too, so weird.

The night goes on, I look over at my mate's, they're giving me the thumbs up and whatnot, I'm realizing that I've got a wife and kids and it's time to wrap this, whatever this is up, because we've been stuck at the bar for like 40 mins and I'm only now getting the vibe something's off here.

Towards the end she becomes more and more insistent about introducing me to an "investment opportunity" in a new, obscure altcoin (Shitcoin). Red flag 3, and hoo boy, is it a BIG red flag. In come the claims: guaranteed to make huge profits, riskless, quick returns, you name it. I'm like holy shit, looking over at my mate's with 'help me' eyes looking for a rescue, let me tell you, dudes don't understand that look from their male friends.

Then the weirdest fucking this happens, she pulls out a glossy pamphlet from her purse, advertising this fucking Shitcoin with instructions how to buy. I couldn't believe it. I start freaking out a little bit because now I'm thinking I'm going to get drugged and wake up in a bathtub full of ice. Wrap it up finally by saying yeah cool I'll check it out, thanks and by, she gives me her number to talk more about the 'investment' and I'm just trying to GTFO.

Whole rest of the night, mates are giving me shit.

Couldn't believe it, a fucking real life honeypot in a dinky bar in Marrickville. Sydney Australia. A pamphlet for an online digital scam.

Tell me your close encounters with crypto aliens, because it was so weird that I'm actually craving more.

Edit: The pamphlet had a rocket on it, so yes, this was a sophisticated attack ????
