Erdős problem 38

Does there exist BNB \subset \mathbb{N} which is not an additive basis, but is such that for every set ANA \subseteq \mathbb{N} of Schnirelmann density α\alpha and every NN there exists bBb \in B such that (A(A+b)){1,,N}(α+f(α))N \lvert (A \cup (A+b)) \cap \{1, \ldots, N\} \rvert \geq (\alpha + f(\alpha)) N where f(α)>0f(\alpha) > 0 for 0<α<10 < \alpha < 1?
