Thank god all my projects are in net, they’ll never be popular enough for someone to attempt a scam like this
It seems the crypto community has found a new way to extract money from people. They are creating tokens for popular open source projects and inviting maintainers to get in on the scheme.
Here is the email I got earlier today.

Ok my custom atproto lexicons project is up and running with pre-release packages.
It has @standard.site records, and the statusphere.xyz records.
I’ll do @leaflet.pub and @stream.place before doing an actual release. (What on earth is a stream.places rendition record?)
