Today I received *two* seemingly independent offers to start a "web3" funding initiative for #curl.

That feels like two too many. No thanks. Take your scam offers to someone else.

the number of emails I get in a week offering to 'invest in' or to 'buy' my small business is equally stupid/scammy

Every email also comes from a .shop domain

Like, they could at least try to make it not look like a scam

Wait! Web3 is still a thing? I thought it collapsed with NFTs.

It seems the proposed setup is similar to what is being described here: seangoedecke.com/gas-and-ralph…

A scam, as I presumed.
