METAPETS SCAM

Below you will see clearly the MetaPets scam and how it all works. The marketing wallet sends tokens to another wallet, which sends tokens to many different wallets. These wallets have been selling for BNB, which are then sent out as profit for Dee.

MetaPets continuously changes their marketing wallets to mask this behavior. After a new marketing wallet has been created, the taxes from the buys and sells flow to the new wallet and no longer go into the older ones. This means it’s very difficult to track the historical marketing wallets. But, the dev wallet shows clear evidence of these new wallets being created and “input data” verifies the wallet addresses.

Let’s run through some evidence:

This is their current volume and marketing wallet, which is important to note moving forward: https://bscscan.com/address/0xef87ba438a50be404016c112046821efc56e985a

Going to this link, we see many tokens being sent out to different wallets for sale for BNB.

Scroll down and you’ll see where these tokens originally came in from.

There are three “IN” transactions on the bottom.

Here are the wallets:

  1. https://bscscan.com/address/0x6437223e42698437cb6241151f5feadbb2716d92#tokentxns
  2. https://bscscan.com/address/0x01a751e7defdd230f8baa09be0f5de7f885286c0#tokentxns
  3. https://bscscan.com/address/0x32d2ed44fdec29db1a96590b0236262a8684cffe#tokentxns

Now let’s see where those tokens originally came from.

Going to https://bscscan.com/tokentxns?a=0x6437223e42698437cb6241151f5feadbb2716d92 we can see that there’s an “OUT” of many tokens in this transaction hash: https://bscscan.com/tx/0x41ca2ab24be8482a0938b46403febc70b9bb06b4d751615eeb4966c7528a143d

This is an old marketing wallet for MetaPets. After the marketing wallet has been changed, the older marketing wallets begin taking part in the scam.

Let’s look at the second wallet in the original list of the three incoming tokens. https://bscscan.com/address/0x01a751e7defdd230f8baa09be0f5de7f885286c0#tokentxns

All the way at the bottom you see the “IN” and those are tokens from the marketing/volume wallet. You can see the transaction hash of these tokens coming in here: https://bscscan.com/tx/0xa8c9e63d3bf2f18e1b11a3a0bd89da0b20517ad6313532f325d23d905090132d

We now have a clear path of tokens coming into all of those different wallets with direct evidence of the marketing/volume wallet taking part.

You can look more on your own, but now let’s see where all of the money is.

WHERE IS THE MONEY?

Remember the original list showing all of the “OUT” transactions? Let’s look at the second out from the bottom. The wallet beginning with 0x2ef.

https://bscscan.com/address/0x2ef026bcf6835450a4c26dac69a9276f579aaa20#tokentxns

Look at all of the sells happening.

https://bscscan.com/address/0x2ef026bcf6835450a4c26dac69a9276f579aaa20

Above, you see 58.8 BNB made in this wallet alone, which were transferred to https://bscscan.com/address/0xac88db1b684e815272196c89e824de78d80efbe2

This wallet currently has hundreds of thousands of dollars in it.

In fact, you can see all of the money flowing in here. In this transaction hash, you see 130 BNB being moved to FTX exchange to cash out.

https://bscscan.com/tx/0xef1c7e786202bc0718b4316f06fa28c17401825a1ee34c3494d38a6cd2a8f689

Clicking on the wallet, you can see for yourself the money being transferred into the exchange.

https://bscscan.com/address/0x2f58a14cce8fc42628c947804938075136c4313f

MetaPets investors are being scammed and this is clear evidence. So much money and tokens are being moved that it’s an incredible sight to witness.

QUESTIONS TO ASK DEE

  • Why does the marketing wallet keep changing?
  • Why is BNB being moved to FTX exchange?
  • Why were tokens sent out via a multisender to all of these different wallets? Why not keep them in the same wallet to ensure transparency? Some of these wallets sold and moved BNB to the same wallet that cashes out in FTX.
  • Why were there wallets that received tokens via a multisender with taxes excluded?
  • Over 1,000 BNB was sent to a Binance: Hot Wallet shortly after launch. Why was that?
