Topic: Don't fall for such easy scams - page 2. (Read 867 times)

We should avoid joining airdrop or other programs that require us to deposit first to reach the withdrawal amount, this case is clearly a scam but many victims, even though the fraud method is classic and outdated, are too obsessed with high withdrawal amounts and they don't realize they have been deceived. so they will wait for the withdrawal process to be successful, even though the project party does not transfer any withdrawals and they only want to steal the customer's money that has been deposited.

I don't use to involve myself to any free giveaway in this community, because that is the best strategy scammers used to convinced people from the community to scam their coins, which is what was about to happen to you, but you noticed some  scam plan that make you to escaped from the scammers. Thank you for sharing it in this community for those beginners looking for shortcut to earn coins to know that there are scammers in the community using that strategy, and this information will help them to avoid them when they come across such in the future. I know that the scammers will come up with new strategy in this community, but they will definitely be expose again because people understand their strategy very well.

One of the reason why some people fell victim of scamming is greed, inexperience and inadequate information because they want to make it to the top using shortcut without due deligente but if truly one is equiped with adequate information and experience it will be very had to fall victim of scam. I'm so impressed that you were smart enough to be able to put a precautionary measure on your experience if not you would have fell to the scam.

People can fall for it, a lot of people actually. It's hard to believe, but there are a lot of people who believe that they can make quick money from crypto and that it is indeed a get rich quick scheme. Now imagine coming into this industry to find this offer from this fake trading website, they'll grab it with two hands and fall victim to it. There are quite a lot of stupid scams out there, but if there were no victims, the scammers wouldn't bother anymore, but they still do; so they indeed do get victims.

Same old tricks but unfortunately, there will be some newbie who will fall into this kind of scam.

It's an old way, but scammers are still using it. Why? Because it's effective. There will always, and always be newcomers that will feel happy that they see a free 0.043 BTC on their screen as they register. Well, the good thing though is that there might be some out there who doesn't even have 0.025 BTC holding hence, they'll just forget about this one because at first place, they did nothing aside from registering. I believe that only a few will fall to this.

I always believe that investors are becoming more intelligent every single day, and although many are still falling to these types of scams, I think that those who got scammed once learned from their mistakes hence, they will not fall for it anymore.

This is not a new scam. They will tell you to register that they will give you  some coins. You will register and you will see the coins. But you do not have the private key and it is just a number and not any coins. It is just a fake coin that you can not withdraw but it will display that you should pay an amount of money before you will be able to withdraw the coin. If you deposit the money, you have been scammed.

When a website offers a lot of free money without checking who you are it is probably scam. Website you mentioned is scam and they want you to send them cryptocurrency before you can get bonus. This is trick to get your money. Some people may still fall for it because they want money quickly or do not know better. By the way your story is warning to be careful when websites offer you something for free. And thank you for sharing your experience and warning others. By the way I did not open the link because it is looking a phishing scam link.

That bonus was just a trap and a mirror figure it doesn't have any record on the Blockchain to register it value and actual worth, just take your mind away from this and thank goodness you didn't make the deposits as demanded.

This is one of the cheapest scam I have come across in recent times but just the way you said some people might still fall for it due to greediness. I have seen something similar to this before but my own was a different approach that allows you to deposit freely but puts a requirements for your withdrawal that can never be met. It was also a trading platform with a favorable price for arbitrage.

The scam here is very obvious because it is like a ponzi where you invest and make double profits of your investment. The difference between the bonus and what they ask you to deposit is double and you don’t need to perform any task. You don’t need a seer to tell you it’s a scam. Falling for this is not actually ignorance, it is foolishness.

Many people are joining cryptocurrency market hoping to get rich quick. Mostly believe scams that promise unusually high returns and end up with losing money. Sadly these people mostly ignore good advice and warnings even when shown clear proof and explained in person. It is worrying fact that no matter how much technology and education improve some people will always fall for scams. We need to keep warning people and encouraging them to think critically hoping that some will learn from others mistakes and invest more wisely. And if anyone get scammed by any source so they should share their stories so this will help others.

I clicked on withdraw and added an address I don't use. And then I burst out of laughter to see that they had requested a deposit of 0.025 BTC before I would be able to withdraw the bonus. It was so obvious a scam but I wonder if there will still be someone so stupid to fall for such lazy scams. There might be people though, our of greed rush into depositing and eventually funds out it is just a scam.

Just like the title says, I was back testing some regular trading sites today. And I saw a pretty interesting one which caught my attention. They had claimed to give free 0.043 BTC upon registering as a welcome gift. I was thrilled and wanted to see for my self.  I followed through their sign up process, using some random emails I just maneuver,and it registered me without any verification. So yes, it was true. I saw the 0.0043 BTC welcome bonus. And wanted to try if it were withdraw able. I already knew the only out come of this, which was obvious from the very beginning. I clicked on withdraw and added an address I don't use. And then I burst out of laughter to see that they had requested a deposit of 0.025 BTC before I would be able to withdraw the bonus. It was so obvious a scam but I wonder if there will still be someone so stupid to fall for such lazy scams. There might be people though, our of greed rush into depositing and eventually funds out it is just a scam. So I just wanted to bring this to the forum so someone might learn something from it. Don't be in a haste to make money, always remember that there isn't any free money on the internet. Noone will give you such huge amounts of BTC for free.

I have some pictures I screenshoted from the website, I would love to share but I really don't know how to post pictures on this forum. I see a lot of people adding pictures to their threads but how do I do that? Anyone care to show me so I can edit this post and add it here also for you guys to see.

Here the link to the website.

You are right. The cryptocurrency industry is getting extremely saturated when it comes to the number of people who are in it and how many are joining with each passing day, and as you mentioned, most of these people think that cryptocurrencies are a shortcut to richness. They think they can earn life-changing amounts of money from this industry, and this thought process becomes their enemy in cases where scammers offer victims very high returns, and the victims, being new to the whole thing, think that they are getting their lives changed from this.

Another big problem is that such people don't listen to advice, no matter how many times they read online, from this forum, social media, or in any other place, they will still make the same mistakes and lose their money, some wouldn't even understand if you explain it to them face-to-face.

So, you are right, no matter how advanced the world might become, there will always be some people who would become victims of scams.

People can fall for it, a lot of people actually. It's hard to believe, but there are a lot of people who believe that they can make quick money from crypto and that it is indeed a get rich quick scheme. Now imagine coming into this industry to find this offer from this fake trading website, they'll grab it with two hands and fall victim to it. There are quite a lot of stupid scams out there, but if there were no victims, the scammers wouldn't bother anymore, but they still do; so they indeed do get victims.
