Have you seen that story about Mohamed Bdj? Honestly, what's happening right now with influencers pretending to be rich on social media is crazy. This guy had 300K followers, he was posting about his first-class trips, luxury cars, the usual stuff. But now, the DGCCRF has caught him, and he has to pay a fine of 150,000 euros.
So, to get a clear opinion on Mohamed Bdj and his scam, you need to understand the situation: between 2022 and 2023, he was hiding behind a NFT project called crazykartssociety. The concept was simple but shady — selling NFTs of small go-karts for 450€ each, promising that people would get rich quickly and could play. But there was never any game, never any winnings, nothing.
The numbers are crazy: out of 5,000 karts announced, only 3,000 were sold, and 2,400 of those were bought by the founders themselves to make it look like it was working. In the end, only 591 were sold to real people. That potentially represents more than 265,000€ in losses for the victims. Even TheKairi78, a well-known YouTuber, was fined 45,000€ for promoting this scam without disclosing it was sponsored.
What strikes me is that authorities say social media has become the playground for scammers. In 2024, they prosecuted 10 influencers just in the trading and crypto space. And when we tried to contact Mohamed Bdj for his opinion on the case, he refused to speak and just told us to find a very good lawyer. Lol.
Anyway, the lesson: beware of guys promising you quick riches with trading or NFTs. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is a scam. Social media has become a real trap for people looking for shortcuts. Just so you know.
