well I remember when all these ICOs were gathering cryptocurrency users information in the name of KYC I said that they are just accumulating information to sell and use for these kind of scam and also advertisement. now you can see what I mean! the most obvious one is the Email spam, social media spam and now this is the newest method with calling spam/scam.

if you are already in a database like that somewhere be sure that you are also a target.

This is strange. I supported the idea of ICOs using KYC sue to the increasing number of scam ICOs that were evolving. It is rather unfortunate that some ICOs take details of participants and leave them loosely for scammers to feed on genuine, unsuspecting investors. I hope people would be more careful in choosing ICOs. And I hope people get to realize that BTC transactions son't need the consent of any third party.

it's like someone doing a fraud by using an event like a lottery. then, telling with SMS that you are winner.

I've never experienced it, but the BTC fraud on the grounds of paying bitcoin taxes is the stupid act and unreasonable.

A lot of people scam with bitcoin even those who knows nothing about cryptocurrency prove to be bitcoin holders just to scam innocent people which I believe it's affecting the legality of bitcoin in most countries. My question is, is there no way to reduce or stop the crimes be committed in the name of using bitcoin as scam?

It is so alarming that scammers are using btc to scam others so we need to be careful in entertaining telephone calls specially those unknown and money related offers.

I have found that in recent time btc phone scam has been increased a lot. Scams call people and pursue people to pay taxes and bills by btc or any altercoins. Even some asks to invest in fake coin also. Mainly the scam group target people over phone.

Has it been happened with anyone??

I never heard these kind of schemes but this way of scamming is too obvious. People who fall for this traps are just plain foolish. Well, if you have received phone calls from an anonymous person, the first impression will always be doubt. At this moment, you will begin to identify whether he is telling the truth or not. If you haven't joined something like a campaign of you havent invested on something,then there is no reason for someone who will call you like that.

if the news is true we should all be careful in taking action in Duni cryiptocurrency.
especially do not easily believe with coins, telfons, even applications that are not clear from where the source .

It is normally happened even in online games and etc. online networking related how much more in this bitcoin some people want to be more insufficient with others that's way day keep on searching how to make or do make scam so we bitcoiner much more watchful with others.

This is gutting. I believe people who would fall for the tax scams are those living in countries where tax payment via btc is allowed.

I have never experienced this kind of act. Though some people lure their family and friends to invest in scam coins that later run away with their money, but this has stopped after the closure of bitconnect and its likes, people are now wiser and careful of investing in an unreal project. But I haven't experienced Btc phone scam and not happening in this region.

Hmmm, never seen this kind of scam before in crypto so maybe scammers are really one step ahead and their brilliant minds at it again. Lol. Well there's some famous scam out here wherein, you will received a text message saying that you won this big amount. But before you can claim the price you need to send some funds. So maybe they just put a twist on it, so this time they are asking for bitcoin or any other crypto in return.

So at least we have a headway and thanks for sharing this odd scam so I guess we need to be very careful and attentive and not fall for this kind of trap.

So far I've never experienced, and how do they know your phone number? and find out if you use bitcoin? In my thinking, it can be done by kalangin own (friends), So keep cautious.

Generally, when transacting to somebody, you got to be skeptic due to the fact that anything now can happen online, digital. So if one must pay, he should ask himsel, if he has ask for this mode of payment to the official biller, if not, why entertain such?

There is nothing new with the scammers but with this phone scams I haven't heard any of this nor experience it but as we all know that scammers now a days will do anything. Also with that we should be careful for the scammers because they will do update their things just to scam us.

We have never heard of and experienced phone fraud, but it is not surprising that our fraudsters are there, they really found a way, we have to be extra careful about phone fraud, etc. That's the only thing we can do. and I hope it will not happen to anyone else..

To my way of thinking, I heard recently about that, the scammers will encourage you to invest with them and they will bring you to their flowery words that once you invest it this will be the amount back to you and so on. That's why sometimes its really hard to trust someone in bitcoin because you did not know if they are really trust worthy orthey are only a scammers who will only used you and your money. so be careful to put your money in investment especially if you did not know that person or that project so better to research it first before enter in that kind of business.
