the scam is back.. with one difference - they switched from bitcoin to ethereum
That such a sucks article, even the website is not secure, be careful with reading articles in random websites, sometimes they inject a virus for detecting your private key or making you copy their address to make you lost your money
I have great updated antivirus, nothing detected. Been reading news there for some time now because they got great articles. Seems like a legit site to me.
They tried to deceive me, but the scammers did not succeed. Whatever you are not deceived, it is enough not to be stupid. 
Good point

What majorly lead people to getting scammed is greed. One will see a sure consistence way of making more bitcoin, but because it's rather very slow and requires handwork and some know how, they would rout for the easy way out, boom there comes the trap. Scammers are just rampantly looking for easy prey and they will always find since humans don't learn from experience.
Yeah! And what's funny, the scammers are getting lazier too. Look at the site of this scam. No working buttons, lots of errors, etc, and people are still sending their Bitcoins to them.

I think 60% of the users on this forum has been scammed at least once. I have seen lot of scams in the casino environment, when is about get money people can be really creative.
I have been scammed by users asking for loans and then running away, and i have been scammed by casinos who decide to keep my money and block my withdrawals.
Some years ago the biggest bitcoin scams was based on Ponzi, now days we don't see much ponzi, but we see lot of ICO's ending in scam. So, let's play it smart and be careful.
yeah but depending on the category of a particular scam the number of people that fall under that category may be very small. for example the obvious Ponzi schemes only take newbies as victims not the others. so this category only affects the newbie category of people and has a high percentage there. but overall it doesn't have high stats.
another category can be the exchange scams where they take your money and run. this has affected all kinds of people. basically whoever used an exchange has a bad experience in his history if he has been around for a while.

I don't care about the assumption that people say bitcoin is a scam because prices suddenly drop dramatically and don't make sense. but when the value is back at the pump, they can only be jealous of the assets we have. so, stick with this situation.
Mate, please read the article first. Bitcoin isn't a scam, no one has stated that here. Rather than it is used for scams and people are falling for them. Again, please read the article and lets discuss it then

Bitcoin and entire crypto industry are still in the basic phase of development and hence scams are taking place. However, the concrete solution to deal with such scams lies in the building mass awareness about it. Lack of knowledge and understanding about this sector is beneficial for those who are willing to manipulate this situation to execute their scam.

Scams can not be avoided. Everywhere there is a scam even outside the crypto currency community. It is our job to secure our own belongings before someone do something bad about it.
Well after reading the article, It is really obvious that the sound of a 5000 BTC giveaway was so good to be true that even you would surely notice how obvious that kind of offer is a scam, But I guess there are still some people bite the offer because they are really desperate with the situation that this is their opportunity to get something this big, And second is the name of a well known exchange site was brought up and sure more people would take this to consideration, I really think this is not Binance doing and their reputation is really at stake here.
It's a very old scam and not so new for people involved in cryptocurrency. The sad part is people who fail in the trap, not sure who is to blame here, the scammer or the people scammed. There is an interview online about this scammer, he claimed to make $50,000 daily and hired a dozen of guys to work for him
Yeah, it has been around for a while and it's sad people still fall for it.

In my opinion it is natural that in the cryptocurrency world there is fraud, it is the act of irresponsible people and wants to find even more profits easily. For this reason, it would be better for us to be more careful when investing in the crypto world so that we are prevented from acting irresponsibly. We should also learn more about the crypto world before we start investing.
I've never got scammed,but I remember I guy that was selling a strange Fiverr gig.
The Fiverr gig was "Send me 300 USD worth of bitcoins and I will return you 380 USD after 2 months".
A friend of mine sent bitcoins for 400 USD to that scammer,and the scammer never replied.

In last 8-9 months the scams got bigger like monsters! First i got on this cryptocurrency world there was goood air everywhere, there were no scams, ICO's were succesful and made us great money, the bounty huntering business were too fine too, we did made lots of money/coin from there.. But when i look now, the air gots pollutioned, everyone telling lies, nearly all the ICO's arre bullshit.. This world is dying before while its new born. Someone needs to do something for the HELP!
if you take a closer look at this issue of sca, apart from the fact that the scammer presents his or her case so coordinated and in a way that is confident enough to have convinced his/her victim, the victims most times have some element of greed in them too. remember that it was not hacking but scamming. so, a little of greed in the victim has made the victim to get scammed
Indeed, greed is driving people to look for more and more opportunities to get easy money and profit, same time not doing any research. That's why scammers scam, they know someone will take the bait.
