Topic: Be careful during the halving season (Read 261 times)

First, as an internet you always come across scammers it is inevitable and it gets worsen when you become a crypto user which is why at all time we have to be vigilant and to treat everyone we don't know as a suspect before anything else. When you create that attitude of treating people as suspect you will be careful on how you deal with them and whatever link you see online. And in the forum ignore all PM's from users you don't telling you about any juicy returns project, you will only end up being scammed.

The bullrun period is the period scammers for the most part scavenge for gullible newbies with sugar coated approaches and promises about quick doubling of their crypto in a professional way, by using the excuse of them arriving at bitcoin late and for them to catch up the train quick at the pace of others they have to render certain personal informations to them (the scammers) to help them in doing the needed mechanics.

 Newbies be aware that all of these!.

Oboy I don insult plenty of the internet fraudulent people these days. Even my telegram account is under attack and one of them even pm me say him get problem with im telegram account so he is looking for a number to register new one so I should help him with my phone number so he can use it to get new one, and this guy that is chatting with I don't even know him omen I know waste time oh, I insulted him very well and told him to used his mother phone number and deleted his number from my phone. Me I don't like to block phone number because if I block account or number, it would still be in the phone so instead I delete it.

So as the Op has said, we should be careful in this period, they are roaming whom to devour and anyone wey enter their trap. Dem go use am shine. Instead please make una shine una eyes d well well.

Yes, we need to be very careful in this bull run we are about to step in because the price of BTC is about to reach $50k which is the majority hodlers target before they can sell to make a cool profits in this season of celebration, but there are many scammers in the community waiting to scam those that will fall victim to their fake links or promises. If someone send you some links you don't understand or link that look like what will harm your personal details, don't click such link because if you click such Link it will be easy for them to hack your details to get access to your money.

I think many users will take note of this your message, so that we will see the end of this bull run that is loading with happiness and joy which is the desire of everybody in this platform.

Thank you for the update because over excitement say pesin make profit fit make pesin lose guard ( fall victim), the only time u fit work on pesin emotion na when pesin dey on a happy mood because of waiting him don achieve. But scammer no dey only look for Bitcoineers but anywhere dey know  say something fit come out for dere side.

Thanks for the advice. Like this I kno no wether the bull season go increase the activities of scammers or not. But e dey good make we take our wallet security seriously at all times, no sleeping on the bike, scammers are not smiling, if you loose guard them go do you strong thing.

I know say some of us already know this, but for the people wey no know:

• Make you dey keep your assets offline.
• Make you no dey click links wey you no no.
• Make you no dey grant any kind apps permission to access your device.
• Make you no dey install modded apps and make you dey download apps only from verified sources.
• Make you no dey install third party keyboard.

Thank you for dis remembrance OP. As dis period don dey come, e sure me say scammer go don already dey ground don dey look for ways wey dem go begin scam people. Fraudsters dey very smart and dem dey always dey thinker farther dan d person wey dey wan scam. Many people don see am d way dem dey scam people in d past but dat one no mean say dem no go use anoda method take run d scam again if d former don already dey known to people. In whatever we do dis period, make we dey at alert and try to take full custody and security of our money in d wallet.

Bull market mean say alot of money will be flowing into the market and this money dey involve old money (from investors wey already dey into the industry) and new money (from new investors). The new investor's dey come in their number wey be say dem dey plenty die and lack proper knowledge of how the market be so this na why scammers dey chop dem scatter. Scammers know say newbies dem go plenty so dem dey target dem with mouth watering offers and many dey fall victims. You wey be investor, na you suppose secure your investment and you no supposed believe everything wey you see for online unless you go fall mugu to scammers.

Different scams plenty during the bull market but e get one wey people no dey too reason because dem believe say everything wey dem invest inside you do well (most times e dey go that way but e no dey last). We need dey careful wetin we dey Invest inside because plenty altcoins go come out during this time. Many of dem no go fit survive after the bull market as the project founders only created the tokens for the bull market and after the market finish dem no get any plans for the bear market and the project go die so if you still dey invested inside them na you go lose am. During the bull market, ponzi scheme go plenty too and Bitcoin doublers go begin dey plenty but as a wise investor, we need dey avoid all this sites them and just dey hold the coins wey we dun buy for the bull market.

For Nigeria here, we go begin here all sorts of defi platforms dem wey go dey promise all sorts of benefits, we need avoid them and not give out control over your coins to any platform wey go promised say dem go Invest for you or trade for you and dem go dey give you returns. This na some ways wey scammers dey steal people money during this bull market period.

Not just this season but I think e good make person they very vigilant and conscious to always avoid scammeŕs . It not only the bull season acammers they operate,  scammers look for all times to scam people.  People just need to learn how to avoid scam, nothing is free , this is what scammers use in getting people,  they tend to give out valuable things for free which and this is what people are interested of and they end up in falling for acammers.  People really need to learn,  abd never to accept things from strangers.

You no need to lock your post because the post carry weight and e dey very informative to everyone here. One thing with dis scammers be say ba, as new ways dey comot to take combat dem from scamming people, even dem too dey get new ways wey dem go take scam their victims the more. All dis tins na because of d newest technologies wey dem come always. Most of dis scammers are more educated dan us but one things be say make you know the basis of security and not to expose your self to the digital (online) world too much. Remember say anything wey you no share online, nobody go fit get access to you talk less of scamming you. A word is enough for the wise and when the wise obeys it becomes a lesson and a more wiser person in the future.


All dis ones no be new method wey scammers dey use scam their victims. This ones don cast and dem don upgrade pass like this. That being said, newbies go still fit need dis one if dem never know about all dis scams before since I dey sure say anybody wey no be newbie here or new to the online digital world, dem for don understand all dis scopes wey dis scammers dey use to fraud their victims. Technology don go far the way we dey think am now, make we just dey careful with anything we dey do online. Na d place to learn new things to make yourself better but d same time, the place dey very risky too so make you know how to trail for dis kind place wey go fit make you lose everything within minutes.

Your Matta get point, na the time wey people wan happy nai scammers dey make them cry, but remember say na everybody scammers dey scam, scammers no get joy when they are on their mission they will do everything to make sure say you enter their hands, as far say you dey hold bitcoin my brother shine your eye no allow anybody rip you, na naija we dey, naija na place where person no wan work and him wan shop, E no means say you hold small btc or big, nothing concern scammers like say you hold small coin, them go scammed all the coin wey you get finish wey be say you no go fit explain .

I dey come across some post like sometimes and I think anybody wey don dey forum for long go understand waiting we dey talk here, na only the beginner's abi newcomers na them go get issue with the matter wey we dey talk, to every newcomers, waiting we dey talk here be say this life no be waiting we dey think, you go work and person go wan chop you clean mouth, as e dey now anybody wey dey hold bitcoin for hand now should be careful, no share your details for anybody, no trust anyone, no follow anybody wey tell you say if you bring small money within 24 hours you go make am, no follow anybody wey instructions say make you click some links say they get waiting wan happen to your bitcoin say na them be agency wey go help you, all those things na scammers, make i just call am fraud, so make everybody shine their eyes.

As bitcoin price dey high everybody go like talk about bitcoin and people will share their own opinion, and people go say stay away from scammers or avoid sharing your personal information with them, Just the way scam no dey show for fore head na so bitcoin holding no dey show for forehead na who talk them go attack, and people wey dey hold bitcoin when the time reach make over excitement no make them fall into the hands of scammers.
I believe except from this forum I never see any trusted place to talk about bitcoin and bitcoin holding, the truth is we should know where and when to talk about our bitcoin holding.

In conclusion, every one should be careful, be it Bitcoiners or fiat investors because scammers target are not only for Bitcoin investors but to also individual who have a lot of money in their custody. During this period of the year, scammers are every where and they are looking for who to scam.

I so much like this update way you carry come drop for this board, this nah something way we supposed to dey caution for.
As e dey so way we no go fit do without internet so, if still dey hard to totally stay away from them but if at all personally me I dey try my best to avoid them.
As e dey bad for our whole holdings to just comot from our assets to other assets way we self no even dey aware of, so nah to try stay very far from them

Na better update you drop for us so because as Bitcoin price dey grows like this, scammers go find any possible means to take scam people off their Bitcoin because people go like invest in Bitcoin to make a profit and not to miss out on accumulating Bitcoin before the bull run go start. For instance, when Vitalik Buterin X (formerly Twitter) account was compromised, victims suffered losses of $691,000 due to a malicious link promoting a fake free NFT. Even if Satoshi gives you a BTC address to send BTC for the address, make you no send because it is a scam and make we no dey click on links wey we no sure of.

Op you don do well to bring this kind of discussion come board, wattin you talk na the kind of thing wey we need to put into consideration this period, because monkey no go work make e go be say baboo naim ho come chop, e no go work!! So make we still shine our eye for our own part make dem for no use us do escape goat. Baba Charles-Tim thank you very much for the explaining and the examples wey you give, this one don clear my eye and e don add to my extra knowledge so that person fit dey extremely careful for this holding journey. Dem say a word is enough for the wise, person wey see all this advise finish come still go fall victim for scammers hand na mumu e be oo, if at all say na you leak your info give them.

This matter we you bring here na steady Dem dey talk am almost every where for the forum. if you dey navigate through the axis of this forum. But the fact still reamain say we go must always dey careful about this bitcoin or bullrun matter, because no be only bitcoin matter self both this festive period. Because the end of every season dey always come with hoddles, and if you no dey careful them don scam you or your hard earn money. If you watch out this days you go confirm say for social media you go discover as advert don plenty on how you go buy new phone of #150k for as low as #50k %75 discount promo! promo!! Promo!!! My brother no request any oder. Because Dem go tell you to pay half of the money before delivery. and if you do, Dem no go bring anything rather requesting for the remaining balance. So this one na general advice to all forum members I dey use this thread as a medium to informing us all.

Make we really dey careful expecialy those websites wey dey use jumia name dey promote their fake business for social media. Disclaimer⚠️ bewear of any site promoting jumia product. Its a red tag. Jumia is not aware of such but for you to oder any goods you can go to there officials website to purchase there product not by just consulting some random jumiaseal. while I talk like this no be because of promoting them but due to the encounter I don get with this people before, so I no want anyone of us to go through that part again.

Scammers will always be innovative and so they will definitely find ways to scam investors especially this bullish season, where almost all crypto currency will be on the raise, alot of traders will be offering trading signals while most of them won`t even good at trading but because the market is bullish they will be lucky not be out of favour by the market. Alot of shitcoins and scam toekns promising huge returns to naive/ greedy investors who in the end be victimised while the development team get the gains and move on. There are still many ways scammers get the better of investors aside from the ones listed by both me and Charles-Tim but in the end its just for us to be cautious and anything that is too good to be true should be avoided. God helps us .

Op you talk truth for this matter because scanmers dey use things wey dey trend wella so e good make we shine our eyes before them obtain us. Imagine say Bitcoin come create a new ATH, the new go loud scatter and plenty people go rush come join make them for fit collect the national cake. Na this kind time scammers dey cook their package dey come.

Wetin I go follow advice people be say, e no get time wey we supposed relax so all dey OK because that money we get for wallet or account na some people prayer point. Them dey do every every to take obtain am so we gat shine our eyes wella make we no carry last

Not only the bitcoiners are scammers targets, but everybody they come across . It is people that should learn, make research and avoid scam. When I starting knowing about bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in general, the first I did was that I researched on how to avoid scam. If you check my earliest topics, they are more about avoiding crypto scam and hack.

This topic would have been good if you add the examples of scam and how to avoid, but you did not include any. Scam increase during bull run, but there have always been scam. If you want to know, just find a presale coin, join their telegram group and post something. You will see how scammers will message you so that you can connect to their fake site with your wallet so that they can stole all your coins.

I can still remember the Elon Musk SNL that fake Elon Musk speech was shown after a break. The speech was about scammers using Elon Mush fake speech that people should send money to a doge address, that they will receive double immediately. The scammer address was funded with over $5 million not quite long before it was said to be a scam. There are scam like this on social media.

Another example are the celebrities and well known people that their Twitter account were hacked and used to lure victims to send coins to a provided addresses. How about the premium cloud mining that end as scam. They are many online.  How about airdrops scam. To pay VIP. Also your information can be known, like email which can be used to send phishing email.

How about fake ICO which is completely an exit scam. Also are some pump and dump coins. We warned people on this local board not to buy digitoad for example. See the price of digitaod now after launch. People are losing money. I am not saying you should not buy presale coins or tokens, but do your research and use the amount of money that you can be able to afford to lose.

While talking about money loss like this, it is also good to talk about hackers. Not the same as scam but both can lead to money loss and both can be interconnected as scammers can be a hacker.

Put thoughts into what you are discussing next time. Not a criticism but an advice.

Normally normally we are talking about to buy Bitcoin now but this evening something came to my mind and I will like us to talk about it and also be aware of it too.
The things way i won talk be say, as the bull dey front dey come, e go good if those way done invest for Bitcoin earlier this year and way back dey careful this season and the whole of the next year and after, because I really believe say plenty of scammers go dey more active to dey find those way them go scam (more especially Bitcoiners).
As e no go dey good if person sweat go just enter into the hands of scammers nai make me say make I drop am here but if this kind of post already dey this our board or outside the board abeg make una tell me so that I go lock am ASAP.
