This is real. my friend is stuck in that mode because he wants to get an instant profit. I warned him, it was a fraud, but he insisted on following the fraudsters invitation. a few days later he told me the funds never came back.

that is, sometimes we have to pay dearly to get valuable lessons. since then my friend wants to learn about market analysis, and is not in a rush to make decisions. he just realized, that in a very volatile market, giving guaranteed 100% profit in a short time is like nonsense, without good market analysis it is like waiting for a miracle.

As long as your friend learned his lesson and he only invested a very small amount of money this could be an incredibly instructive lesson for him, I think that a great deal of us have lost some money to scammers but as long as you learn to never trust in scammers again you can consider that money as the price you had to pay to not be as naive and to protect the rest of your capital from other scammers, however there are people that never learn and keep thinking there is a way to make money fast on the markets and those people are the ones that keep getting scammed until there is nothing of their money left.

, some of this schemes can make you some money back then. If someone is to ever fall for this kind of thing, I think that they deserve it because they clearly do not have a common sense,

oh really ? some of them are paying before? maybe that was a different scheme same as on pyramid where you can earn at first of if you are early and you sucesfully refer a joiner but later on the system will collapse and if you still didnt leave early you can also get scammed . we all have a common sense and it can be on other things but to some they are just greedy when it comes to this things . we dont need to put them more down but lets educate them

After considering BTCs all time high you can bet scammers will jump to take this as an advantage to make people fool, Let's take a resolution that I am alone and I can take care of my assets.

Never trust these shit people who are trying to contact us via social media, insta etc just ignore and move on. BTC is surely not a get rich quick scheme. Don't feel if anyone misses chance to make profit understand the market and have proper knowledge then make an entry.

Seems like it would be easy to avoid that kind of scam. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Bitcoin is precious don't be foolish with it and give it away without regard.

There are numerous websites which claims to double your Bitcoin within 24 hours and I have heard from some of the victims that they just don't allow you to withdraw by asking you to deposit more bitcoin's in order to withdraw this end up cheating you without even returning your capital investment. Just to make their telegram look more genuine there are imposter accounts with names from multiple nationalities. Be aware guys as no one would be able to give you 100% profit within 24 hours so it's a scams and stay away from it. I will share futher details shortly.

There would be numerous testimonials in the telegram group which you guys will be added it's all fake.

In the meantime, where the price of BTC is rising to the new ATH again, those scammers are flocking to the new investors to offer some fake giveaways. People should be aware of their method of scam. they need to do the necessary action in order to protect themselves from getting scams because these guys have too much propaganda on their books to fool people. You need to know every good to be true offer has some dark intention behind it so everyone should be careful when getting some promising offer from unknown sources.

Bitcoin doublers are one of the oldest ponzi schemes in crypto. By now it is common knowledge that they are all scams but they are still hoping there are enough newbies out there that will be tempted to invest in these sort of things.

Yeah, these type of schemes are prevalent back in the early days of crypto, some of this schemes can make you some money back then.

This why you need to decide on an exchange where you will be able to buy your first bitcoin. There are plenty of exchanges out there and come with varying degrees of security. Most will require some form of identity verification before you can set up an account, so be prepared.

When it comes to wallets and exchanges, be sure the site you visit is reputable before you send any money.

There are still many fools people in this world who still believe in this SCAM.

They want to double their money very quick but they don't use their brain.

I never believe in this type of scam, even though im a greedy person.

I believe newbies are always the first victim to this kind of scheme, meaning they don't have a vast experience how things work in crypto space believing that someone would double or triple their money if they invested it on the people who promote it. It's saddening to see this to happen until now because I myself is also a victim to this kind of scheme but by the time I was introduced to invest in Bitcoin while learning how to do your own research, I learned to be very cautious when it do comes to your own money.

It's best to report the one who promoted such scheme to let everyone know or avoid anymore people getting scammed by these schemers.

When we are noobs, we do really lack of knowledge of everything and when you do tend engage to get involved on a new place that you havent known then its just normal
that you would really be committing out mistakes due to that lack of knowledge but with common sense you can eventually able to search things up and able to avoid
these things without the need for you to experience it first.As years passed we do really see new types of scams which been havent known even the experienced ones
will be likely to be victimized again if they wont really be making further verification.So always be aware and sensible towards your actions.

Many people still believe in scammers who offer double your Bitcoin within 24 hours, because most people still think they can get instant profit
from Bitcoin. So there are still many who don't understand how Bitcoin works, and only look at people who are rich because of Bitcoin. The scams
that offer double your Bitcoin are not a new type of Bitcoin scam, but have been around for a few years. Usually when the Bitcoin price is rising,
such offers often appear. Especially the Telegram platform, the most scammers looking for victims there. The thing that must be understood is that
to get profit from Bitcoin there is no instant way, it goes through a long process.

Greedy people can simply never think about it but rather jump into it very quickly hearing about doubling your money. Regardless of how the government giving words and awareness to the public but somehow, there still a lot of people being tricked to this and become a victim.

More possible and easy scams happening in social media since most of us now are engaged in this. But still, we can avoid this if we keep ignoring the stranger talking about this. Because there is no other reason why they promote this kind of offering, not to help but obviously to scam.

Those people who are victims of this scheme are those who doesn't know what cryptocurrency is, and they want to have money and earn money in an instant or in the fastest way that they could. I experience that thing too in my younger years, hyip is my hobby wayback 2017, I will invest 1usd and wait for it to double within a day or less but then most of time, website is gone after hrs of running and we will left without nothing, we should teach them if they are willing to learn and to correct their bitcoin understanding.

Not only on this cryptocurrency market but these things had already been existing into those traditional markets that we know or shall we say, before this market had existed.

Due to human being's lack of knowledge and extreme greed on things this is the common result or situation that these people do experience.

Some people do able to avoid these things with just using their own common sense but majority doesnt learn up until they do experience on being scammed.
Lots of them are lurking in the shadows and just waiting for the right opportunity.

Specially this type of scamming: https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/826cc7/warning_scammed_by_receiving_a_private_key/
This doesnt talk about bitcoin but rather ETH but still all the same in the name of scam.

This is very common in chat groups from telegram, where they will promise greater gains for people who would deposit money on their bitcoin address, which of course is something they wouldn't do, since there is no way in hell someone would be able to double your money within 24 hours, unless they have a gambling cheating trick which they abuse.

Quote from: The Cryptovator on January 27, 2021, 12:18:28 PM

Although the bitcoin double scheme very old scam method, but it still new for newbies whoever just entering on bitcoin lately. Surprisingly I have been adding such as telegram groups, I just report them and leave group or channel. Even though I hadn't made a post on the forum, but I have noticed many such threads. Yes, we need to create more awareness, so at least forum users would realize about that scam method and they could save their valuable assets. I have been reporting bitcoin doubler threads with referral links if found. Everyone should do the same IMO.

Yeah, it mostly caters to people who just got into crypto and do not know their way yet, so it definitely causes this negative feedback loop on cryptocurrency's part as this disallows these people to trust the industry.

This is true. I once fell victim of scams like this. I was a newbie then and I was excited about the promise of having my coins doubled in just 24 hours only to realize that I was asked to deposit even more to make a withdrawal. I had done that twice before I realized it was a scam.
Well, my advice for newbies is that it is impossible for you to get your coins doubled by anyone. It's a total scam. Don't be deceived by that.

We should all be skeptical in everything we see online, especially with “instant” schemes being promoted by unfamiliar people to us.

Indeed, scepticism and vigilance will save everyone from this kind of scam. The online world is the most insecure place for the unwary and always hoping for "instant" money. They will be a potential target for scammers.

Due to lack of knowledge and experience then there are really people whom do really fall even if its quite obvious on being a scam.
They do realize later on that they had lost money when it already too late. Learning thru experience is the most common scenario.

Almost all social media including telegram, which is currently a messaging platform that is widely used by crypto activists. I even received up to dozens of private messages that came to my ketegram about investing and asked for help with making withdrawals on condition that I made a deposit first.
Learning from the experience will keep everyone safe and don't get into the trap a second time.

All of these people are scammers

-snip- honestly scammers had lately been using all forms of tricks via social media to scam investors even YouTube is not exempted, the bottom line is to continue to create awareness about those act of fraudulent activities to the notice of the forum members.

Youtube is also a medium that is very widely used by scammers to create fake giveaways or double bitcoin and ETH assets. Some even believed and sent some BTC and ETH. But what is more than advertising on youtube is hacking into Twitter accounts of famous people with blue ticks and then posting the same thing about asset multiplication. The case on Twitter got excited and the hacker was caught.
The latest scammer fraud mode is increasingly varied and more organized, therefore be more vigilant and don't believe in all forms of a giveaway about your winnings or multiplying assets quickly.
