Been noticing a pattern with certain accounts in NFT communities lately. The combo of Azuki PFP, generic Canva template banner, and slapping 'researcher' in the bio usually signals something's off. Worth keeping an eye on that crowd and flagging suspicious behavior when you spot it.

tbh the azuki pfp + canva banner combo is basically the phishing equivalent of a taxonomic dead-end... statistically speaking, if you see all three indicators firing at once, the probability of legitimate researcher status approaches zero. let me pull up my spreadsheet from last month actually, got a whole dataset on this evolutionary dead-end phenotype ngl

Your observation is spot on. I've also noticed that set of combined tactics several times, and it's basically a scam warning light...

NGL Azuki + Canva + Researcher, this combo looks fake at a glance... I've seen too many accounts like this, mostly just schemes to harvest profits. Really need to be more cautious.

ngl I'm also tired of this combo, I almost want to just write "Please transfer to me" on my face.

NGL, this combination is indeed typical. I've seen too many accounts like this... Azuki + Canva templates + self-proclaimed researcher, you can tell at a glance what they're after.
