It was posted by @surajp so i assume that the account was taken over by someone else. I tried to write a question in the general channel about this, but as soon as the scammer saw that i was writing, i immediately got a timeout for 7 days fot the whole server:
I assume this is because the associated account has elevated permissions on the whole server so they can ban and timeout whoever they like.
While the scam is relatively obvious, its still a bit concerning how this one user took over the whole discord server and seemingly nothing is done about it and there is now no way for anyone to alert the rest of the users via the server itself.
Don’t worry @surajp, i didnt create the post to blame you, but mainly to warn others and maybe also question the server role setup.
Accounts getting taken over for scams is probably something we have to expect by now, especially in the crypto-affiliated world.
I would also advise the numerai team to at least try to claw all domains that somehow look like numer.ai
Nobody will fall for numerai.ru but e.g. numerai.info, like it has been in this case, is a bit more dangerous.
