My parents reached out asking me to help them figure out how to buy this Amazon crypto. They've recently become interested in crypto and so I've been teaching them how it works and how to use it.
Luckily I hadn't taught them anything about eth except how to buy it and how to self-custody it yet.
After seeing how easily they were scammed into believing this was real, I am recommending they steer clear of eth entirely and just stick to learning about bitcoin. Too many (believable) scams on smart contract chains.
The only btc scams I've seen are along the lines of "Send me your btc and I'll double it back for you!" which is obvious even for them.

- mrorbitman 5y agoTrue. I only told them how to use CashApp which only sells bitcoin.
- alostpuppy 5y agoThat’s a good call. Any app that has a curated list of tokens really.
