There are lies, damned lies and statistics. MTwain

So have you sussed out why you were contacted in the first place (i.e. what made you seem prone to be a potentially gullible target to the scammer)?

I’m just curious as to their target selection process, and whether it is related to showing being novel in crypto, or whether it is mass performed, with no prior study of the potential victim, and they then play as they go when they get someone who bites the hook and engages in a conversation on the topic.

This is all part of one huge discord MEE6 bot scam network
with many cloned websites connected.

I also investigated this in Scam Accusations section:

Same thing happened to me this week. Some guy named "LI" on telegram messaged me letting me know he had 1.4 BTC, he sent it to me after he asked me to register.

I then needed to add 1 ETH to activate the account, then they asked me to add 0.1 BTC as it's required for balances over 10k.

HUGE SCAM, i did add ETH which now i regret, I am out 2.4 ETH. Sucks for me, but I learned the hard way.

I wish there was a way to track the website registry to report and prosecute, but who knows.......

Please do not transfer your funds before you receive the product or fund that is promised to you that you will get later. This is the first trick the scammer uses that he/she takes your fund in their address and blockchain transactions are irreversible. It is like a trap.

This is a thread created by @Royse777 about the "List of (un)known methods scammers user to scam users with honorable mention"
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.52038624

I would suggest you to invest your time in reading the forum it has all such info that one needs to know.

Probably it is one of the marketing trick they are trying to get traction to their site. Thanks for the alert. Will state awake from the site.
I hope that my information will help those who recognize new forms of fraud as sophisticated as the article
Yes, that does help others to be aware and alert.

I have contacted support, he loves to recharge the system at least 0.02 BTC or 0.7 ETH to activate the account
No one will ask you for money in return for giving you money.
This trick is old, but it is renewed with the development of methods, in the past was by contacting you and then tell you that you won a car and you have to spend $ 100 to get it.
The use of the site will not differ because it is centralized and I can update the database that you got a thousand dollars but does not mean anything without the possibility of withdrawal.

The success rate of scammers in this form is very low, they target users of telegram and social

It seems that this is a new, sophisticated and professional scam. New people cannot understand these issues well. Please stay away from it. Nobody gives us anything, try to work.
it's not as sophisticated as you thought
actually it's pretty simple, they set up everything to fool a targeted victim
the site is probably owned by the same person (or a team) who asked you for the help
yes... stay away from using any non-wellknown sites no matter how good the deal is
good chance it is just a newly created fake site to lure and trap gullible victims

It's scam, do not believe any single word from them.

We encountered these websites sometime back. They have similar designs



This design is so familiar Grin Grin
Looks like the scammer has a ton of such websites
- https://24xtrade.com/
- https://24burntrade.com/
- https://bitusual.com/
- https://24fastcoin.com/
- http://social-info.ru/
- http://margo-event.com/
- http://www.social-analysis.ru/

There are more out there... same design. I just got those within 5 minutes  Grin

Check out this thread by @EdgarAlanPoo, there are over 30 of them and am sure we didn't exhaust them

This not a new type of scam as it is, pretty well known here.

I have already mentioned it to warn users from such scam.

This is a well known type of scam attempt.

You could get a message on telegram by an unknown user that he is new to crypto and if you are known to it can you please help him in withdrawing his BTC from an exchange ( It would obviously be a fake exchange). Than he would give you his account details and say if you could help he would reward you with some amount of BTC from it. But when you try helping him, and go on the exchange it would ask you to deposit some amount of BTC to make an withdrawal ( Most of the time's it is 0.02 BTC ). The next step you do, and if you help him and send 0.02 BTC for withdrawal, ( The reward you would be getting after helping would surely be more than 0.02 BTC as per the scammer) your funds are just gone to the scammer as the exchange is just a fake one. And boom you are scammed.



You should consider moving this thread to Scam Accusations board where it suit's better.

I think that the one who asked for your help helped him recharge the system and couldn't withdraw it. However, the crypto-trader24 helped him transfer this amount to another account in order to attract others

Today someone sent me a message, he said he had some money 1.34 BTC stuck. He said that he was banned from withdrawing money because he was in China, it was illegal here.

He said he would give me 0.2 BTC if I helped him





He sent me 0.88 BTC in advance, on the website of the website: https://crypto-trader24.com/#
TX: https://www.blockchain.com/en/btc/tx/b7feaa3b6e6a754a858394acb4b4dab8c4eba5f1880d61dcf5f1f0c6a58a1f58

I then see that the balance displayed on the system of the crypto-trader24 website is 0.88 BTC

But I cannot withdraw money and trade because the account has not been activated yet



I have contacted support, he loves to recharge the system at least 0.02 BTC or 0.7 ETH to activate the account



I think this amount is really too big, almost $ 200 to activate the account. And why did he send me 0.88 BTC, he could not withdraw the money, he could withdraw the address for my blockchain, because he uploaded 1.34 BTC, why his account is not activated ?

It seems that this is a new, sophisticated and professional scam. New people cannot understand these issues well. Please stay away from it. Nobody gives us anything, try to work.
