NELK Boys slam YouTubers promoting \u201cscam\u201d crypto after turning down offers YouTube: NELK\/UnsplashPopular content creators the NELK Boys put out a warning for fans who might get duped into buying different crypto coins just because other YouTubers are promoting it. Over the last few months, influencers have been getting involved with crypto and stocks as they\u2019ve become more and more popular with the public. Plenty of creators have criticized those who have been getting involved, while others, like Jake Paul, have had to tell fans that they\u2019re not giving out financial advice. There are still a number of influencers who are hyping up different crypto coins in tweets and videos, but the NELK Boys have urged fans to not get duped by what\u2019s going on. The popular YouTube collective put out a PSA, revealing that they\u2019ve been contacted to sell different coins to their fans but they\u2019ve rejected the offers. \u201cAny influencers you see promoting any coin or crypto has a very simple goal. Get their fans to invest money because they received a free coin or they bought very low,\u201d they said. \u201cWhen you all trust them and invest, they sell and make tons of money off you!\u201d On top of revealing they\u2019ve been offered deals, they further labeled the practice as \u201cdisgusting\u201d and \u201cscam bulls**t,\u201d suggesting that anyone doing it is \u201chungry for money.\u201d PSA from insiders whove been offered these deals pic.twitter.com\/MpdeWWismU \u2014 Nelk Boys (@nelkboys) June 6, 2021 Some fans quickly compared it to promoting gambling, which NELK have done on a few occasions before. Though, others argued that point, claiming that the two are vastly different. As the crypto game continues to grow, more influencers will likely get involved, and it\u2019ll be on the fans to heed the warnings or potentially end up with egg on their face.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
