Whenever someone email me for it or from telegram when there someone says hi I'm automatically thinking that's its just a spam or a scammer because no beautiful girl will chat me when my pic is just an anime

It's kinda funny when someone messaged you something like that and then you already have many experiences about it, it seems like they already failed because of the wrong victims. Beginners mostly fall for that scam, whenever some message them our of nowhere and asking for bitcoin for any reason because of being lack of experience and knowledge about the crypto world. Just remember that we should never give any of our personal information when a stranger asks you for that.

Whenever we received a phishing email, we may report it on, [email protected] or ftc.gov/complaint and whenever we received phishing text we may forward it to SPAM(7726).

I sometimes get offers to enhance my wedding tackle, and I admit that sometimes I am naked in front of the computer ( but not in McDonalds). I'm not sure if they are watching me on the camera, but I stuck a loyalty coffee bean over the lens just in case. It's a good job that I don't feel that I am disadvantaged physically. Smiley

Rule number one I learned is to never reply to messages from unknown people in forum
Is this from newbie account?

You can block all newbies PM in your profile settings. Personal Message Options. Uncheck the option "Allow newbies to send you PMs.".

Kindly get back to me at my discreet Email ( [email protected] ) for further discussion.
If you send email to that address, your email address will be in their list and you will be spammed with emails from scammers. They can share or sell your email address for other scam teams.

Strangers are nothing more but strangers, but some people are too weak to allow strangers to lure them into sending bitcoin to them, this can happen on forums, and similar of such on social media. People need to be careful, scammers have tactics to seek for bitcoin in a way someone will become a victim. If a stranger is asking for bitcoin or introducing you into new business, be it of high or low profit, it is more likely a scam, someone should not be greedy for this and should avoid such scammers. So, not even on forums, but everywhere.

Lol, although I never get such kind of mail on bitcointalk. However, it makes me laugh when remembering about this similar mail that I receive in my email (which used in freelancing platforms) plus the same method they use several months back. I tried to dig some information from them and after some conversations, they sent me several photos of grandma in a hospital, when I checked those photos on the internet it just fake photos to fool the people.

You can check your spam folder of your email to witness thousands of similar messages and its an obvious scam as you said so don't get desperate and click on any file/link from that mail because it could be a malware injected file and will stole money from you in no time.

You can report them as unsolicited PM and reward them with temp or perma ban.

this is like the nigerian prince. scam in the forum is very different from this one though. sometimes they want you to test the apps they created so they want you to download an apk. its not just via PM, they know how to find your telegram account as most of us just share the account here.

i sometimes reply to check what they are up to, i just don't download it. some of them can really manage to impersonate well on telegrams. they'd find it hard to do it in the forum for one single report, their account will end up useless.

I would also think twice before giving anyone my real email address or telegram account.
Some people can abuse this or ask you for some help and pretend they tell you they will pay you for this help.

This is one example spam message I received today from scammers:

Dear friend,

Please forgive me for stressing you with my predicaments as I know that this letter may come to you as a big surprise. Actually, I came across your E-mail from my personal search afterward I decided to email you directly believing that you will be honest to fulfill my final wish before or after my death.

Meanwhile, I am Madam Elizabeth Edwards, 63 years, from USA, childless and I am suffering from Adenocarcinoma Cancer of the lung for the past 8 years and from all indication my condition is really deteriorating as my doctors have confirmed and courageously advised me that I may not live beyond two months from now for the reason that my tumor has reached a critical stage which has defiled all forms of medical treatment.


Since my days are numbered, I've decided willingly to fulfill my long-time vow to donate you the sum ($8.5 000.000.00) million dollars I inherited from my late husband Mr. Edward Herbart, foreign bank account over years.

If you will be honest, kind and willing to assist in transfer of this money to his or her account and use the funds for charity work of God while you use 50% for yourself. I want you to know there are no risks involved, it is 100% hitch free & safe. If you would be interested to assist in getting this fund into your account for a charity project to fulfill my promise before I die please let me know immediately. I will appreciate your utmost confidentiality as I wait for your reply.

Kindly get back to me at my discreet Email ( [email protected] ) for further discussion.

Best Regards
Mrs. Elizabeth Edward
