Nowadays, especially in the crypto space, treat the word free as a warning.

Thank you for such a meaningful advice. Short but strong advice. I do not know why people go after freebies like monies are free online. Nothing meaningful is free. You have to do something to earn money, even if it is your time as an investment. People should be very careful downloading apps or clicking on links. They may contain malwares. Also the exchange the OP mentioned is not one of the credible exchanges on the coinmarketcap site.

We members of this forum might be amazed why there are still people who can get scam, members in this forum already understand the many tricks or methods of scam but out there there are still many people who are just trying in the crypto world and they are not get correct knowledge that there are many forms of fraud, one of which is the manner described by the OP, and scammer not only in crypto space scammers is always everywhere.

this type of scam has been reported already a lot of time and it's has been used also by fake casino/fake mining site/ fake exchange and so on.
Find below one example:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.51516387

Generally there are simple rules: NEVER send money in order to receive money Wink

NEVER send bitcoin to get "verified" in any website.
Check on google what are you using and check always their web address

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!

Can you point out who is that spreading the scam code? That user must be get red tag if I'm not wrong, shilling scam exchange.

That's extremely old trick but yet there are people who will become a victim, we should always bear in our mind that there is no FREE in everywhere in the internet. You will might suspicious if when you want to withdraw there is deposit asking.

Please move this into Beginners and Help or create a thread on Scam Accusation board together with your proof.

This scam artist will not stop doing the same thing over and over as they are seeing opportunities
with newcomers and greed people.
If it's something too good to be true then don't bother to waste your time participating, most of the
time your curiosity will let you fall with this scheme.
Good for you not to allow yourself being fooled by this promo something as it will only lead you in
losing your money. Keep your awareness always be your guard.

I think this is the 3rd or 4th thread about this scam exchange. I don't know what's happening but it looks like there are people falling for this old but effective trick. Anyhow, just used our common sense, a honest and legit exchange won't ask you for deposit just to be able to withdraw.

Maus0728 already give the thread, please drop the exchange you encounter with because we want to make more aware all the members right here about the platform you have encountered.

Today most of the scammers make a duplicate with the exchange but the domain is different you immediately notice that still why those people getting scam with this platform.

Quote from: ?? on ??

This is very old tactic and has been active for a while now to scam newbies. Usually, you will win every time you play roulette and they will try to make you greedy. By the way, please move this thread to Beginners and Help to get attention from newbies.

Beginners & help is the most appropriate on this thread because we want to spread awareness on the platform you have encountered.

The 0.016 is a large amount of value and just to redeem your funds you need to make a large investment/deposit it's something fishy about this. It's acceptable if you only deposit just $2 dollars to withdraw your funds.

Obviously, that's a scam. There's no one who will ask a money for you and they say that they will give you free coins, that's very suspicious. There are a lot of options to earn money and that schemes will only give you losses so be careful about the scams that you are seeing in some platforms. We should be mindful about our assets and never trust easily on what we are seeing free coins, free giveaways, and etc., online. Don't root for an easy money, don't look for an easy money, it is much better to work on yourself and not rely on those fake schemes that scammers are using to lure people for a victim to deposit a certain amount of coin to their account. In order to fight those scams, bitcoin investors should be knowledgeable and aware about them so that there will be no more person that will become their victim next time.

Of course it's an obvious scam. The good thing here is that moderators are actively deleting this kind of things. Few days ago I saw a similar scheme pertaining to getting "free money" just by signing up and playing a few games.

In the first place, there's no free money here, especially when that type of content is promoted by a newbie account.

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.

But with that exchange, it looks like another uncommon exchange looking for its prey.

I have seen similar exchanges like that offers free credits of tokens or fiat but requires deposit from users in order to withdraw and basically it's a dubious scheme that is a scam for sure, no doubt about it. Not just on new exchange does this but also on airdrops, wherein its actually rampant schemes that users required to pay for these airdrops to claim those tokens that supposed to be free in the first place.

There is no reason to chase hard after a few free Satoshis. If all it takes for you to sign up and play a game on an unknown site are a few Satoshis, the tendency is that you might fall again for a scam like this.

What if it says you just need to deposit 0.0005BTC instead of 0.016BTC in order to gain access to a promo code which provides you 0.001BTC? Would you have made a deposit?

Nowadays, especially in the crypto space, treat the word free as a warning.
