BEWARE of fake EEVblog NFT's
SiliconWizard:
Selling anything virtual may be seen as a scam. I guess it gets all philosophical. It's a pretty interesting discussion certainly, if only because our world is increasingly becoming virtual. This has just barely begun.
But again, main point here is that usurpating someone else's IP without their consent is fraudulent, whether it's NFT or not. NFT doesn't magically invalidate laws.

I won't post it, but if you dare just Google "Cara Delevingne NFT"
Ed.Kloonk:
A better investment might be one of these..

I see it is happening to others:

I've been scammed on OpenSea unfortunately. The seller keeps opening and shutting down accounts and stealing back their NFT's they sold somehow. My post explains it >> www.reddit.com/r/opensea/comments/m0tb60/scam_alert_please_comment_if_you_bought_from/

The link to their domain seems parked and registered:

Maybe it is not theirs.
It would be interesting to find out if opensea.io are really affiliated with the affiliates below:
Andressen Horowitz
Coinbase
Ycombinator
Trust Wallet
Dapper
Quantastamp
Founders Fund
Blockchain Capital
I'll look at them later.
I noticed that animation on the page is linked to some Google account and I don't remember seeing any logo like that before so I wonder if it is something they made up.

Yep it is something they made up with their @2021 StakeTheWeb
Claiming copyright for something that isn't theirs now that's a bit cheeky.
