Topic: Be aware of Santa Bitcoin, stay ahead. - page 2. (Read 358 times)
Not just Bitcoin be careful of all types of scams around christmas. I do not know why humanity stoopes low around times of need but we do and scams increase around christmas time. Bitcoin just allows criminals to get away with it easier because the police are not as interested in small scams when using Bitcoin. I think because it is not legal tender they do not consider it worthy enough although if someone stole your collectibles they would have to investigate so I have never understood why cryptocurrency is not treated the same as a collectible at least.

I don't trust many giveaways anyways, whether it'd be those reputated Youtubers that does giveaway or even this you mentioned in the OP, regardless of the occasion since I never even saw the aftermath anyway. At these times, I would even take extra precaution since all those "Santas" are going to be around. 
I can imagine a lot of "Santa" emails coming to random people's Spam Mailbox.
Those so-called giveaways happen all the time, not just during the holidays.
Btw don't feel bad cashing out (a little) just to treat yourself or family.

True, it happens outside of holiday seasons, but the OP was simply trying to draw the attention of people who are easily enticed by cheap giveaways. In this case, it is a Christmas season, and they can use this festive celebration as a trap to lure them as a form of giveaways they are giving to their loyal users or new users who are joining them. Whatever the case may be, we should not be drawn to such things because scammers always find a way to make people believe in them. One must be extra cautious not to fall into their traps. It is said that for the wise, a word is enough, so let us all be wise all of the time.
There may be free food but there wouldn't be free bitcoin or whatsoever, don't lose your keys, don't use places that are not safe for your bitcoin, don't allow or give anyone that chance to steal your bitcoin, make them suffer and have nothing from you. Happy Holidays everyone.
Thanks for bringing this to remembrance. If you realize that the season is more about giving than receiving, then the promise of getting double your bitcoins when you send to an address for Santa or just receiving bitcoins when you submit details that make your wallet accessible will not be enough to tempt you. As you prepare to spend quality time with family, some scammers are brewing tactics ad strategies to be ahead and steal people's coins tomorrow, please let us not be victims. It will be sad thing to read about one of us here fallen victims to this kind of Santa bitcoin scam even after this timely notice to be aware and careful has been posted.

For those always looking for freebies i think it's time to wise up and know that there's nothing free even in Freetown, there's alot of ongoing campaigns for free bitcoin by Santa Claus as Christmas present, lol if you will consider the genuity of this then you will discover how many people will be liable to apply and how many people can they afford to give, because in so doing, they will get some weak bitcoin enthusiast who are newbies to fall their victim as they unveil their vulnerable weak points through this, don't get carried away.
It is the Yuletide season of celebrations across the world, where everyone will want to celebrate a great festive season. Celebrate yourself but don't forget the moral code and security of Bitcoin, don't sleep on them, watch out for scammers in Santa form that would will be doing Bitcoin giveaways.
