The much-anticipated Hamster Kombat crypto airdrop has left thousands of Nigerians in shock and frustration. After months of engaging in the platform’s prize-winning activities, users were expecting significant payouts but were instead met with minimal amounts, some as low as $1.
Launched in March 2024, the cryptocurrency mining initiative promised life-changing opportunities and the prospect of billionaire status.
However, the outcome has been disappointing. Reports indicate that the highest payout was only $17, while many participants received a mere $0.75 or less.
Social media is now filled with dissatisfied users expressing their disappointment, with what was once a hopeful community now referred to as a place of “tears and wailings.”
Check out some comments below:
Bello Musa, a Nigerian pharmacist, took to social media to express his anger and frustration with the Hamster Kombat platform.
Musa revealed that he had quit his job to focus on cryptocurrency mining, only to receive a meager payout.
In his now-viral post, Musa shared the emotional and financial strain he has faced due to what he believes to be a scam. After investing significant time and money into Hamster Kombat with hopes of substantial returns, he was left with a small token, feeling humiliated and deeply shaken.
Venting on X, he wrote:
“Dear #Hamster, I resigned from my job where I built a professional & unblemished career over the years in anticipation of huge token from you, only for me to be rewarded peanuts. From where will I start now? The threat from my HOD? Or the mockery I’m facing? Hamster Kombat is indeed nothing but scam! #HMSTRSCAM.
“I’m devastated, emotionally traumatized and with an uncertain future, all due to Hamster’s decision to be selfish.
As for the people mocking me, Man is not God! Insha Allah I’ll get another job. The person that introduced me to #Hamster said that was how Bitcoin started, that all people that sacrificed for bitcoin are now billionaires, I joined not knowing #HamsterKombat is a scam #HMSTR #HMSTRSCAM.”
He ended his message with a stern declaration, saying, “I’ll never forgive Hamster Kombat except if it comes at 1HMSTR = 100USD.”
