The other scam technique is to offer people to send some amount to get rewards by them.
Usually, they attract people to get a popular coin or token for free, but they need to send some amount to the scammer.
Yesterday, I saw that offer come again on social media, and if I am not mistaken, they offer to give a DeFi token, which now is become popular.
So if you find something suspicious, and it is good to be true, you should research for more to find if that offer is right or not.
Just be careful if you read offers that are very tempting and give you a profit quickly.

I have actually come across one of these threads in the services board. I remember reading it
and thinking it was smelly.
How do these people think of this scam and others like it?
I can picture the rats conspiring to take advantage of people. The energy spent discussing
and concocting how they go about their devious little plans.
We can be sure that some people were caught in their illegal scam and be sure they advertised
their scam on many platforms, not just BCT.
At least we are in the know now.

After Reading through the OP, I spotted searched for and spotted the case behind the scenes. The scammer, performing the classical cloaking scheme, moves whatever serious conversation off the forum and on to a direct contact through Telegram or such.
Fortunately in this case, somebody tested the waters and communicated with the scammer, engaged in a conversation, and managed to determine the intent. He then reported back on the scammer’s thread.
The scam is performed from a Newbie account, which makes it easy and painless, although it could just as well have been made from an account with any other rank or age.

With the rise in bitcoin's value, sewage rats have come out of their hiding trying to get a bite. But this particular rat doesn’t just want your breadcrumbs or your money. Oh no. He wants to get you into trouble with the law, and he wants you to be his scapegoat. He is the worst kind of rat from the deepest and darkest hole.
For those of you who browse the Services section, you might have noticed a new type of scam that is making its rounds. I don’t want to help the scammer by placing links to his threads, and I would like to ask all other members who comment in my thread not to do it either.
The thread in question is in direct conflict with Rule #17:
How does the scam work?
The scammer promises his victims a quick get rich scheme. He doesn’t ask you for any money, and you don’t need to do any work. The only thing you need to do is give him access to your blockchain.com account. He will top if up with some bitcoin and send you a big chunk of it.
I know what you are thinking. How is this a scam? I get free bitcoin for doing nothing! When you see an offer like that, ask yourself the following questions:
1. If it is that easy, why doesn’t he do it himself?
2. Why does he need my account?
3. Why doesn’t he make his family, friends, and everyone he knows rich?
4. What makes me so special that he needs my help and my account?
To detect fraud, you don’t need specialised training, you only need a little bit of common sense. Be honest! Are you special? Do you possess a unique skill that only you have, and that this person can use to HELP YOU make a lot of money?
If you are honest to yourself, your answer is negative, and you feel this smells a bit like a scam, you are on the right path.
Thanks to another forum user who talked with this scammer, we now know what he was planning. What the scammer doesn’t mention in his topic is that he is using stolen credit cards to purchase bitcoin with your account! How does that sound for a quick little earner?
That is why he wants YOUR ACCOUNT. That’s what makes you special. You are the perfect person to get trapped and become an accomplice in credit card fraud. If your account is connected to your real name, and you performed KYC, you just committed credit card fraud in the eyes of the law.
Keep both eyes open and don’t believe everything you read!
