Fake exchange promocode as well as scams were getting to be very common as more and more people are getting into the cryptocurrency usage. Newbies at the beginning doesn't have much of knowledge using cryptocurrencies, and that's the reason where newbies easily getting trapped. Whenever one uses a cryptocurrency exchange it is a must to go through the proper channel without connecting through any promocode links or affiliates.
Not only fake exchanges but also some bounty projects are cheating more people especially Newbies with different offers. Because using cryptocurrency doesn’t have much knowledge of Newbies in the beginning; So they can be easily deceived. So I guess promo codes should never be trusted.

Never believes in promo codes there you should deposit something to get more
If its too good to be true, then its not worth trying because I’m sure its just a scam. You have to compute if the rewards code is worth the risk especially if you are putting money on that exchange or any particular investment. I don’t usually use promo codes because I know its just a small money and it requires some work, if you really want to get that reward then you must do your research before trying.

Scammers are really clever nowadays, if you're just clicking before thinking then you might fall for this. Newbies should always keep this advice; If its to good to be true then its probably not true. Always be wary and cautious when a platform, offers you easy quick earnings by depositing something.
Exactly mate and if there are something that make them doubtful the best way to keep safe is ask the community,we have plenty of investigator here that will help and assist them in cases like there are a possible scam to happen.
There is no doubt that it is not a scam. I don't trust any free satoshi site except freebitcoin faucet site. Other site will always ask for a deposit when you will try to withdraw your btc. Let's think it is legit but why would I have to deposit 0.016 btc? Why would this much big amount? So, becareful before depositing your hardly earned bitcoin in this such kind of exchanger, websites, faucets, or any gambling site.
or Some is asking for KYC just for penny.

this is an obvious scam that luring newbies and greed people to fall for them,Hope the years are enough to teach cryptonians what is legit and which is scam.

Scammers abuse KYC lots. People misunderstand KYC and scammers use it to seem legit when they really are not legit. They do many different things to try "enforce" that they are the good guys. Many will claim. "we cannot guarantee you a 25% profit but we can a 12% when actually anyone who guarantees you a profit shouldn't be trusted. They will use any excuse to get you to give them your money and any excuse to prevent you from getting back your money. One of the favourite things is they lock your account for "suspicious activity".

Isn't it too obvious ? But the thing is why would you go after a few Satoshis.
It's not 2013 when collecting few Satoshis and adding them up to make a few dollars did seem like a doable thing.
In this era collecting few Satoshis won't mean anything since all of it would be gone just in transferring them into a different address.
Depositing an amount just to collect withdraw an amount is an obvious scam.
Of course if you feel like there is something suspecious in a campaign you are joining with, you better stop early before it's too late. We have to be smarter most especially in this time of pandemic because a lot of bad people out there are wandering. They are looking for their victims and studies their strengths and weaknesses in order for them to catch your interests and your trust.

I have recently signed up on the trust(lol)coin exchange because someone here was saying there was a promocode for a few free satoshis, I redeemed the code and tried to withdraw, it said I had to play atleast one roulette game before i can, which is what I did, and it said I had to deposit 0.016 to prevent abuse from the promo code. This is obviously a Scam!

Be carefull Newbies! don't fall for this crap!

it is not necessarily a fraudulent scheme. Recently, there was a campaign called Root bat and there, too, in order to withdraw the money that came for the bounty, you had to make a Deposit of one dollar. I did it and it worked perfectly. So check the information - it's not always a Scam.

It could be something like this?



This is a big problem not because if we try to make a search online, you can find a lot of things like these and really interesting to see especially if you are new to this kind of trick. Mostly noobs never think the risk about this but seeing this to be good to be true. No, we can argue that things as obviously scam artwork but can't stop people think an opportunity for them to earn. It is very unfortunate that they never realize it until such time that they had to lose their money.

I think this is new to me, always thought this kind of scam only took place in social media when you get contacted by sime Asian guy to withdraw for you and get certain percentage. I still get this message in their numbers most especially when I join new telegram group. Never knew they have gone as far as creating promotion code to decieve mostly newbie or those wanting some extra cash.

Personal I don't partake in most supposenly called free money in for of promotions code like registration, deposit or even referral. I try as much as I can to stay away from them. I know some are legit and people are making money from them but just to play it safe I decided to stay away. Thanks OP for this awareness.

It’s very suspicious, they should have just said the things that are involved before you signed up, it’s good to let you know what you’re getting involved in, not after you have signed up and played a game and they start giving excuses, it’s best for you to avoid them so that you don’t end up getting scammed. And I think what you’re referring to here is a casino? Because you mentioned roulette, so it’s probably a casino.

Majority of the big online casinos I know are following a procedure that is similar to this, but scammers are also doing the same, so it’s best for you to avoid any site that is not popular, and go for the ones that are already very popular.

wait what ? exchange with a roullete game ? or you mean to say its a gambling game because gambling game are mostly the one that gives promo codes and free coins to try and test thier websites but exchange dont usually offer free coins  and they dont also offer gambling  . its nice that you detected them easily , you are absolutely right . its a scam when someone force you to depo more although bonus coins should be played couple of times before you withdraw them .

This is a common fraud scheme, I am very surprised that people still fall for this. Warnings are heard from almost every "teapot", but every person believes that it is "he" who is the smartest and that he will not be deceived. But scammers "do not sleep" they are always one step ahead of us - old schemes die, new ones appear. It's good that there is this forum where people tell different situations. Newcomers to the cryptocurrency community especially need to be careful, since blind faith in the "miracle of Bitcoin" and that they will not be deceived here will not lead to anything good. It is in the cryptocurrency space that there is a huge amount of unaccounted money and a huge space for rampant fraud. Therefore, - take care of your money, do not give a scammer-slacker a chance to disappoint at least one fan of the cryptocurrency community.

If it asks you money to deposit, get out of there quickly. There are certain promo codes with requirements and they are very vocal to say the minimum amount you had to deposit or use it trading in their platform.

There are so many scams on social media and in the crypto currency world so we have to be very careful. I have also experienced fraud, I got a gift of 1 BTC from someone else then I was asked to send ETH first to his wallet address, I started to suspect and wonder, why should I send ETH first while I will be given a gift, in my mind this is a scam. I ignore the gift and then I do my other work.

It is something you've been trick out by this kind of strategy without further research about the said exchange. Not even someone says that they will receive a few sats they will make you trust easily. There is no wrong about trying in order to find out if it is true, and actually it has but wondering if they ask you some deposit, that is a stupid thing to do if anyone does. No doubt it was a scam.

I can't imagine if there is someone who will take that deal and ask help in the forum because of being a victim of this. That's free and promo things make people become curious, but somehow it was their losing ends also instead of having a few sats from that offer.

....it said I had to deposit 0.016 to prevent abuse from the promo code. This is obviously a Scam!
A good decision that you didn't make any transaction or transfer the coin first to that exchange. So far, many fake exchanges or programs do this kind of scam in order to deceive their victims So usual, giving rewards and deposit first, this is one of the reasons why it is said as a scam.

Yup! This is an obvious scam attempt.

They even copy the webdesign of CEX exchange LOL
Can't we make it report in order to block that fake site? Probably there have been many victims that are deceived by the scam. Thankfully you have shared the link right here so that many more newbies or people can know about this fake exchange.

I have never heard of the trustcoin exchange, but based on the story in the opening post it is an indication of huge scams.
All exchanges that offer promo free coins by must depositing first on those exchanges are likely scams. Most of the newbies
who want instant money are victims of this method.
