A cautionary tale for the crypto community: when projects deliver rugs to their own community while simultaneously operating paid membership schemes, something's fundamentally broken. The pattern keeps repeating—promoters keep showing up daily, shilling dubious tokens to unsuspecting followers, and the engagement keeps flowing in. Likes, comments, retweets—the whole machinery turns. But at what cost? Community members who invested time and capital are left holding bags while the operators pocket fees from their "premium groups." This isn't market activity; it's a systematic extraction game. The ecosystem needs to wake up to these recurring tactics before the cycle repeats again. Recognize the warning signs: paid access schemes paired with continuous token promotions are rarely a coincidence.

Carpet + paid groups, as soon as this combo appears, I know it's time to run. I've seen it too many times; the tricks are all the same.

Another routine of cutting leeks, tired of it
---
Paid groups with token promotion? I could make money blindly with this combo
---
Really, it’s always like this, yet some people still jump in
---
Carpet + membership fee, this is the real double harvest
---
What’s the warning for? Everyone knows it’s just greed
---
Systematic extraction under the guise of gaming, that’s just fraud
---
I just want to know when these kinds of projects will finally disappear
---
High-level groups earn fees, tokens drop to zero, a perfect match

It's the same trick again, paid groups + carpet coins = the perfect formula for losing everything.

It's the same old story again—paid groups + air coins. I already took a fall on this last year... lost five figures before I finally woke up.
