Topic: Beware of cheaters - page 2. (Read 340 times)

There might be other cryptocurrencies that claim to be a get-rich-quick scheme but I don't believe in them. This is because the majority of them turn out to be scams. People out of greed want to double their investments magically and most of them have ended up losing their funds suddenly. Social media is an important information bank but it is also a major channel for fraudulent activities. I am always skeptical about the information in social media that's why I always verify everything. But to be on the safer side, I only invest in Bitcoin because I don't have the time and space for many stories about other coins.

Just avoid shitcoins literally. Whether you know them or not, they're obviously just a bunch of pump-and-dump token schemes. Those shillers in the Telegram groups are hiring YouTubers and other influencers for them to add hype to what they're promoting.
If you're too optimistic and greedy, you're the target market that they are about to scam. Don't be too gullible just because they've got an amazing advertisement and that's why most of us here are tirelessly telling everyone to buy bitcoin.

I literally try to stay off shitcoins aside from the fact that it may be a scam coin they are not really promising as they are spoken of.
When dealing with shitcoins, be cautious YouTubers advice and avoid Telegram.

People fell victims more to scams from telegram group when it was a new strategy from scammers, a lot of people have been scammed already through that telegram method and many other persons know about it. It is such a pity that people still fall victims to it presently. Don't trust any group talking about Investment on Telegram, newbies should read and know this.

Any quick route to success is always accompanied by regrets.

As much awareness is being raised already about cryptocurrency by members of this forum, make it a plan not to talk about investments in cryptocurrency as a get-rich quick scheme.

This scammer way have running for several years ago and I don't know why you miss many board accusation about private key giving as scammer way right now take your fees transaction. Have been old method used by scammer by giving private key of trustwallet or metamask and there has several fund, when sending fees directly have settle with bot sending of fees.

But your eyes open right now because there are have one wallet with stable coin or USDT there about $10,000, many people got scam by sending their fees and directly bot sending to scammer wallet. Keep sharing to your friend and never trust any one here if want to give free with their assets in trustwallet or metamask wallet.

Yeah the images are too big and eating a lot of space for a content. OP should learn this first prior to focusing on the investments he mentioned.

There are of scammed that happen on Trust wallet not just because of the wallet itself but the user on it.

Please read this topic ---> Guideline on posting images (with size adjustments), hyperlinks and then reformat the topic, most of us will not read the topic in its current form due to the difficulty of reading it.

Anyone who tells you that this is a golden opportunity to get rich in a short period without having a real use of what he is trying to convince you of or a revolutionary idea that gives him value is either a fraud or a fool who does not understand what he is talking about.

Hey OP please resize your image first.

Second here are two tips which will help you to know about any coin real or fake?

1. Check where is it listed? Is it listed on coinmarketcap or on coingecko? If it is listed so next...
2. Check the contract address of the coin. You should match this contract address with that address from where you received that coins.

Second one is most important to safe yourself from funds loss or hack. So be careful.

@OP it's better if you learn how to resize image since there's no need to show all of those images in full size, just add "width=300" in your each image.

It's not a cheater, but scammer.

Cheater is mostly where someone is abusing or breaking a rules, while scamming is mostly about money involved where you will get the money from someone and someone lost his money. It's nothing new for scammer ask to deposit some fee, don't need to get tricked by such scam in the future.

Even if you want to claim these airdrops can't you just ask from the official group? This is the fastest way of bursting scam airdrops, for example Sushi isn't doing any airdrops it's all fraud, but as a newbie, if you are confused or not sure you could just ask the team, there you go.

There is a 100% chance that the team will tell you they aren't running any airdrops at the moment.

To know the official group and channels always use coinmarktcap, you've learned your lesson.  

I'm glad your eyes are now open, and thanks for letting the novice people know about your ordeal. It's not new to me the vices of scammers on the internet, it's we that should very be careful of those things that are too good to be true. Many people want to get rich quickly, but is this possible without following due process? I guess not.

There has been HYIP many decades before cryptocurrency, and people were scammed for it, and scammers are still using this style in the name of cryptocurrency. People have to be careful about this.

Social media is their main target, and that is why many warnings and disclaimers have been issued to those that care to listen. And the closest-fetched one is on the site of "Onentrepreneur" where everyone was tipped to be careful of the scams in the name of trust wallets.
