Let me guess. “Hey wan’t a Austin Blast pin?” “just scan the qr code. Login, and get your pin the next day”

I got asked yesterday and said no. Wasn’t wearing any Blast Gear, and had a clear plastic bag like they any other person in here. So I didnt trust it, seemed too sus

This is kinda genius tbh. Everyones inventory is just a crypto wallet anyways

Hey guys, putting important comment here:
I was going around with QR code at event as a volunteer. I was legitimately collecting surveys and can provide screenshot if needed. I’m sure I’ve spoken with some of you. I swear to you the survey was not an API scam.
Blast has directed me to stop collecting surveys. Ill no longer be collecting surveys. Sorry to scare anyone.

Unfortunate but I weirdly have more respect for in person scammers than online. Takes more balls

Important context:
I confirmed with BLAST that there were legitimate volunteers going out doing surveys.
**However:** BLAST has confirmed reports that someone was out there trying to scam fans, so people still need to diligent.
BLAST have pulled the volunteers doing surveys because of this so extra care should be taken with anyone asking you to scan codes or go to websites from here on out.

Would imagine you get easily caught doing this??? Like digital footprint in Steam is a lot easier to track than cryptos for example, no??

Didn’t see anyone mentioning this yet but if you scanned a QR code and logged into something:
Log it out on all devicec, change your Password and reset your API-Key after!
Better be safe than sorry!

It would help if the shirts they are selling at the merch store weren’t exactly the same as the ones employees are wearing.
