Topic: Crypto giveaway scams and how to spot them - page 4. (Read 1353 times)
Most times these fake give aways are from parody accounts. It's usually a twisted account they use to enginner a giveaway and they have their army of testifiers that post positive feedbacks to make it real and then the real targets falls in. No one will do a giveaway and ask you to send some amount first. That's the simple trick.
The point is, if a fraud that covers a kind of giveaway, we need to pay attention at the beginning of the prizes they offer to participants. I often see many people joining any giveaway or project that offers high rewards. logically crypto cannot make you rich overnight, so always consider before your time is wasted.
this is not always as you say) cryptocurrency can make you rich in one night) I have become rich several times in one night and then lost this money) this is a sad story but this is the reality of this market. we should be very smart at this market

I read your article from beginning to end. As a result, I have realized that there are several ways in which we can be deceived. You have also given several examples, the most striking of which has caught my mind is the correct analysis. I will try to reflect on the facts by holding them in my heart. The point is, don't trust any giveaway blindly other than the official, first check their account than do some thoughts .
Yeah, I encountered some of this scam mostly on twitter, Sometimes they comment on well-known projects, copying the name and change a little bit on their username same on telegram too. I often join giveaways with verified icon on twitter to avoid this scam, also I check the website for official twitter account I don't join right away I review it first. Scammers are everywhere they will pm you with suspicious links don't ever click a link from a suspicious account just blocked and report them.
Yes, twitter is a honey pot for scammers and so are Youtube. That's why it looks like Youtube is really tightening everything specially hacks accounts and channel. And would also suggest to the community that whenever you see one popup in Youtube, report it right away. Very easy to spot, from Vitalik to Elon Musk to Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos fake giveaways. We all know that those rich people are not easily going to give everyone free money. Same for twitter, you can also report those accounts after you block them.
besides asking people to deposit money before receiving tokens sometimes they also send emails with names similar to the names of well-known projects
and also they change their email address as closely as possible to the original site, but if we look at it usually has a domain that has a character longer than the original domain.

So many of them would want you to get it done hastily. The reason being that, they know that their intentions can be revealed and foiled at any time. For instance, if you are asked to send money, they will time you and tell you that it will soon close. Had it been you were in doubt at the initial stage, this is where you should now be conscious. Also, they try to stress their intents and intentions.
They can sometimes be very professional at this, which is why you need to be patient.

I think if you see people who do like that on Twitter it's better not to participate because it's safer to only be in this forum or you can participate in several websites that provide information about airdrops, usually only new traders will become victims because they don't have experience.

Its easy. if they are offer too much and spawning in comments on other page - scam
If a project sell coins in its telegram group, the so-called Selfdrop, its is a scam. I used to buy coins from different projects because I thought it was cheap, but in the end my wallet is now full of crap.
Whatever it is related to having to deposit first to take part in the Giveaway I think it's clearly a fraud and has happened a lot in some other social media, the scamer continues to convince the victim to make a deposit first with the lure of a big reward even though with a scheme like I think it makes no sense and invalid.
The important thing is we have to be able to differentiate and not be tempted by large amounts of giveaway let alone have to deposit first.

I'm always careful of whatever that will require me to involve with money to get a benefit or reward, that is a pure scam sign. However, people will keep falling for it as scammers keep coming up with new tactics of fraudulent activities.
Crypto giveaway scams have one thing in common, in the end you will be asked to make deposit, if you are the type living in greedy pool you will definitely get caught
Scam giveaway will not only asked us to deposite some money to get our giveway but they may create a phishing site. that happened with some scam fork coins in the past. I remember there was an airdrop that used the name of ethereum create a scam site too. Scammer has various ways to scam people. 
Still, people falling in this kind of trap or scam giveaway, if there are still people then they are not reading a lot of and they are not updated on what's going on, this is now old news but we have learned lessons here before you go for it, ask the community first and if it's too good to be true better think twice or do diligent research.

A couple of weeks ago now, I was introduced to crypto give away on twitter by a friend. I wasn't comfortable with it anyway probably because it was the game of luck. No one was asked to deposit any amount of coin or USD to participate, it was based on random selection and luck. These are give away, meaning it is free. Anything different from 'free' from organizer is a scam.
It is easy to spot the fake giveaway from the first glance for professional scam busters 
Twitter and social media scammers use very-very tricky ways for masking their behavior and the time is their biggest weapon against the scam catching techniques. Masking under the shady activities is the old trick by scammers. By the way, there is an old proverb about this: You can't teach old dog new tricks

This is a commendable effort thus thanks for this, and I wish many more people will come across it thus learning thereof. As for me, I have seen many scam giveaways and one of the prominent ways to point them out is that they first and foremost make the reward huge and attractive and then ask for payment to get the reward after all said and done. Some also ask for private keys or tell users to sign a message with their private keys, but a greater number asks for payment.
Actually to see the scam giveaway is very easy because when we join the project we are first asked to do the money Trasfer as the main requirement then if such an incident we should be careful and do not make transactions, because now they falsify certain markets so that we believe in their project.
