UPDATE BY SCAM SCAM 7/9/2021:
As we told you a few weeks ago in Café con Criptos, the NFT game Block monsters aspires to be one of the next video games earn-to-play in becoming fashionable. Or rather we should say that ASPIRA. Yesterday we lived live a scam starring the official Block Monsters Telegram channel when one of the community managers of the project published a false contract with which more than 600 people have been scammed. In this video you can see how the scam took place:

Seconds after those responsible for the official Block Monsters Telegram group announced the launch of the $ MNSTRS token (scheduled for 7PC CET), a user of the project's trust impersonated the user Kanye West and published a contract address false. Here are the images that corroborate it:
Is Block Monsters reliable?
No.
It is not a reliable project. Regardless of whether Block Monsters is a serious project that has suffered a misfortune on the part of one person, the accident? denotes neglect and lack of security measures. That one of the workers (a certain Gloria) has impersonated a Community Manager to sneak a false contract is indicative that Block Monsters is not to be trusted and we strongly advise against investing money in this game. That they have suffered such a slip is only an indication of the rest of the failures that could be to come.
Block Monsters: what is it?
With aesthetics clearly inspired by the imagery of the Pokémon universe, Block Monsters is the latest addition to the ever-growing roster of hopefuls to become the next Axie Infinity., as they are dragonary, rain o binamon.
Games that pay the player (play to earn) are experiencing a tree that threatens to overtake the entire electronic entertainment industry to the point of redefining its business model (and if not, ask Axie Infinity).
Although already we have seen games like Splinterlands or, more recently, the successful dragonary, what of Block monsters play in another league. Here it falls short to talk about influence: Block monsters is a lord plagiarism of Pokémon that moves the concept Get all to the universe of NFT creatures.
How to make money with Block Monsters and MNSTRS: is it profitable?
As we have told you, Block Monsters is very reminiscent of Pokémon. So much so that in this NFT game there will also be 150 creatures to collect. This, seen from the point of view blockchain it can be interesting. Every monster in Block Monsters is an NFT.
Some will be available at a price of $ 10 and its value is expected to appreciate over time. Therefore, the way to earn money in Block Monsters is focused not so much on the game, but on the purchase and sale of creatures that we get either by playing or by buying them in the game. marketplace
To put a but: it is not very clear what will be the usefulness of the $ MNSTRS token.
Block Monsters release date: when is it coming out?
If there is something that stands out about the way in which the Block Monsters developers are handling logistics, it is the constant change in release dates. The $ MNSTRS token pre-sale has already undergone two date changes until it was finally completed in September.
Aside from the scam of more than 600 people, the latest news about the launch of Block Monsters has been about its token, $ MNSTRS. Although its launch on PancakeSwap was set for Sunday, September 5, it was changed to Monday, with the following news (which were not finally implemented):
- The Block Monster Board ready to use
- A new reveal from Blockmon
- More information about the market
- The $ MNSTRS tokens ready to be claimed
- An announcement on how to claim the NFTs.
We are working very hard to prepare everything for the launch and to make sure that the claim of the tokens and the purchase of $ MNSTRS go smoothly. We postpone the launch of $ MNSTRS until tomorrow at 7PM CET to avoid problems like yesterday during the start of the pre-sale.

Should you buy Block Monsters token?

I think it's very bad that they spread that the game itself was the one that scammed those players when the person responsible for everything was that user who literally betrayed the project. Just so you know, the developers and the team have already spoken about it. What did your failures and delays have? Yes, (and what other blockchain games don't?) But at least they recognized their mistakes, offered a formal apology on their official networks and are also willing to find a way to help those who were scammed by that unfortunate woman. In addition, you have to see how new the project is yet and recognize the quality of design and creativity of its monsters. If it was just a scam, why would they bother spending their time on such well crafted designs? What would the situation of those who fell into these scams matter to them? And in case they were unaware, I have read worse accusations against polkamon, where they practically allow false characters to be sold and the only thing they have done is wash their hands by holding their investors responsible. In the end, those of polkamon do only care about their profits and not the game or the well-being of their investors as the Blockmonsters team seems to promise.
For the official channel of the game to broadcast a fake contract that defrauded more than 600 people is an unacceptable practice and, as such, we report it.
Putting that blockmonster scam means that the entire blockmonster team did it and it was not like that, it was a CM which was disconnected from the project. The blockmonster team gave the lost bnb to the losers because they recognize that it was their fault not to publish the official contract sooner. So the scammed 600 did not even end up losing BNB.
How excited they are to throw free land at a project.
I'm still waiting for my money so if it's a pure scam. GRYM
It did not take them 1 day to return the money to those affected, including myself, if they cheated you with another contract that was not the one published by the CM, they will not return anything ... The project is serious, and it is good .. I have already bought several bosterpacks and we are on the boat.
