Let's take a look at the CryptoPunks contract which predates the ERC721 standard,
and also explain why a CryptoPunk was unintentionally sold today for 0.01 ETH (13$)
👇
CryptoPunks, deployed on 22 June 2017, is an NFT that actually pre-dates the ERC721 standard that powers all NFT collections now and is actually one of the inspirations for the ERC721 standard.
1/ So there is a social engineering scam going on in servers, targeted at NFT figures and Project Moderator / Owners.
Have a read in this thread below.
2/ Firstly, the scammer will join the server with a new, burner account (or I guess, they could be an existing account) and frame you to the mods that you are a scammer. They will send your discord ID for the mod to ban, which instead of the supposite scammer, it's you instead.
