They can always find gullible users by sending those attractive offers and rewards.
Some will try for themselves for the hope that they will get good returns.
But unfortunately, it is a trap and they will get nothing in return.
Unsolicited emails and messages should automatically be put into trash.

The reason is because day by day users who are being desperate of getting instant money is increasing. They can be an easy target for scammers because scammers know that they are after an easy money. They just have to create a new way of attractive strategy then they can have now new victims. Even those who are being warned with this kind of scam can easily become a victim if they will be blinded by an easy money trick.

You are right and in fact when I visited the website I was wondering if they are really scam and thankfully OP mentioned about the minimum $100 deposit which made me feel strong that they are scam. They are even generating new deposit addresses and everything so it is really cool trick they are implementing to manipulate users but where they missed the track was sending such messages on telegram is too obvious that they are scammers.

I wonder since they have a working website why they don't normally run their casino and profit in the long run that too honestly and if they lack bankroll they could have contacted investors and I am sure anyone would have invested in a working casino that just lacks bankroll.

I really appreciate all the efforts you put and created the thread but the problem is that the website is now not accessible, at least on my side (it works then stops and then again works like that). they will create a new domain and transfer the script there to continue their scam business smoothly and there is no way you can track all the domains they use and they are doing it so smartly that it is hard a new gambler to identify their scam.

I think the biggest problem is that people need to be educated about the possible cyber scams and offers that are too good to be true are nothing but scam attempts and they need to have the courage to tell themselves that while getting $1000 seems so good, loosing the $100 for that is even worst.

number 1 rule everyone should follow why would anyone do this and is there anything in this world legit were you can 26x your money minutes

if its too good to be true it always is

The same rule as to how to avoid the Ponzi schemes and other scams. Don't be greedy because it will lead you to being scammed. Just go with the reputable casinos that won't cheat on you and avoid the unknown casinos giving such offers.
Modification of the winners and showing the data on the leaderboards are very easy to them because they are the operator of those tables. Don't get caught by any of them in different social media channels or messaging apps.

offers that are too-good-to-be-true fall mostly in scam category. dont even bother trying sending money to these scammers. but if you do want to try and check for yourself, you can send a small amount of money and see whats gonna happen. we have had enough of these tactics, and it only resulted to one endpoint, you will lose your money!

You own the pen

They planned it all to execute their scam as soon as you take their bait. Thanks for sharing it here for the others to be aware with this. that cloning of the username of the members here might attract some newbies to follow those steps which will eventually lead them to disaster. there are lots of these offers on telegram which is now the center of the social media of most of the crypto gamblers and investors that's why they are using it now as they used on the emails.

So that can help the scammers to find the next target who will give them the easy money. With some modification of the old way, they can attract desperate people to provide an offer to them, and they will make sure that the target will follow what they say. But if we can protect ourselves by searching for other information, we will not get in their trap, but we can avoid them to trick us.

Never trust random messages in telegram, and it seems that scammers are getting more and more creative nowadays. Stick to the rule of thumb that if it is too good to be true, never trust it.

A few months back, I also received almost the same message but this time they used a trading platform. The scenarios are the IP where the scammer is currently blocked in the platform since he said he is on a business trip and would gladly share half of what is on his account on the platform. So, he asked me to create an account and made a fake transfer of 25 ETH, so I ride along and checked the hash and the address if a real deposit was made, and found zero balance. The platform required me to deposit a minimum of 100$ to unfreeze the account which is a red flag.

Never ever trust unsolicited e-mails and messages.

No matter how many times we do said such advice but there are really people who do neglect of those kind of basic stuff or rules when it comes to possible scam scenarios.

None of this world would really offer out big returns or money with just giving out some few dollars and if you are that a sensible and even just talking with common sense

then you can eventually spot out that somethings fishy is happening.When it comes to telegram and any messaging platforms, if someone message me randomly about offers
or other stuff then thats already put up in ignore.

The rebranded casino came back with the same games and the same social engineering methods. It is sad to see some people still fall to this trap and there is another way to prevent the scammers except sharing the knowledge and education. The greed can cost more than the target balance the victim aims for...

It seems like it's not just me who is the victim of a fraud attempt by a fake gambling site moderator...
In telegrams, there are many fraudsters like this who offer services to make rich quick, not only claiming to be from a gambling site but also claiming to be admin of an exchange, mining and another. we must be careful because con artists like them try to seduce us with the promise of a big fortune, don't be greedy people.

I just want to alter you all for not listening to any stranger on the internet. I am familiar with this basic thump rule.

And since this happened on telegram, i would argue that anyone contacting you via pm in telegram and you never chatted before in some main channel is most likely trying to scam you and you can just block and report them at the moment they start their pm.

That is exactly correct. Many scammers use telegram to find a victim to scam his/her money. There are several telegram users who contacted me but I never follow their chat but instead I only replied once and never replied again. You could also block the sender which will help you stay away from that scammer.

Never ever trust unsolicited e-mails and messages.

The problem is very simple: these attacks still work, a large number of people still fall for them. You can see this quite clearly in the various Twitter "swaps" where you are supposed to get back ten times the amount you transferred yourself. The addresses posted there show a lot of transactions of unsuspecting users who fell for the attack.
The attacks are also relatively simple. You only need to write to a correspondingly large number of users, even if only 0.1% of the users write back and make a deposit, it is always worth it.

Coinbase has written a very good article on Medium last year, where the different scam attacks are listed and also possibilities are shown how to protect yourself against them. Here would be the article if anyone is interested: Anatomy of a Telegram Scam

Hello everyone, I just came across a new gambling website which was sent to me via a unknown user on telegram.

Website: https://bitxplay.com/ (PLEASE DO NOT VISIT NOR GIVE ANY OF YOUR DETAILS).

I have the same experience ween ago from this Guy in telegram but upon reading His message i automatically realized that this is another scam and nothing to give anything reliable but shit.

I have reported from the telegram and Blocked it right away without sending even a single word because some of my friends was one a victim of fake messaging in telegram.

You should also enclose that website in "[c o d e] [/ c o d e]' so that no one will accidentally click on the link.

And just by looking at it's domain name:

https://whois.domaintools.com/bitxplay.com

I agree with you, and [nobbc][/nobbc] tag is even more convenient to use for that.
But more importantly, OP should post some screenshots of the website to allow people to see how it looks like, because these kind of scams regularly change their domain names AFAIK. Undecided

Thats what i am looking also those screen shot because i'm sure He had caption before the scammers deleted the conversation because he knows that it is a sign of scam.

I think you should rather post or move this on scam accusation than here in gambling. Though it is indeed related to gambling, there is a specific board for scam even if it was just a fail attempt.

I really aren't that active in telegram and I know what channel and whom to trust only. If that occurred to your account, there is a huge chance that your phone number was leaked hence the sender had a way to contact you. Such activities are too good to be true, hence blocking and reporting the user would be a huge help to the telegram and its community (especially gambling community). Though it was new, it is too suspicious that they made a contact via telegram and not here in the forum..

They change the name, but the scam stays the same. I agree with you on that Saint-loup, and OP should add that tag you
suggested, for more visibility.
I regularly receive scam PM's on Telegram and on Twitter. All kind of propositions, and all of them ask for some starting
investment and promise big returns. I don't know do they attract anyone with this kind of scams?

For most people these kind of scamming attempts are obvious which is automatically ignored but the question about on why there are still people who got fooled?

Its simple! When greed do comes in then people do make dumb decisions no matter how obvious it is they would just ignore and proceed.

When in talks on making easy money then its part of human nature to be greedy,some can control but there are some who cant.

Hello everyone, I just came across a new gambling website which was sent to me via a unknown user on telegram.

The word here is "TELEGRAM".
I'm enough of the nonsense of telegram already. Scammers are everywhere there and you don't know which can be trusted there or not. I'm not even opening my telegram app already because of the scammers there. Just the word alone makes me go away.

I also have received some random messages coming from random strangers and I don't have the time to entertain them or even read their post. As I open their message, I immediately block the user if I don't know them. Entertaining them will lead to nothing.

In Code We Trust

In order to verify the gambling site, there's no moderator that will PM you of anything about the site. Moderators are used to help gamblers whenever they face a problem such as in depositing, withdrawing and issues concerning their game. But with the action made by the "moderator" of that gambling site, you can already assure that the reputation of the site isn't good.

Plus, anything concerned about depositing funds in order to withdraw an amount of winning which look like easy money should already be considered as a scam precaution for us not to engage further.
