Beginners who are desperate to make money will fall for an offer like this , and if you go through the comments sections their are so many people who are so interested in this. Like if you go through the write up of this dude who claims to be bitcoin expert he said those that are finding it difficult to create a wallet he will help in creating the wallet and funding it. This is how many people will make mistakes to accept offer like this just because they want to earn quick.

Spending time to learn pays a lot and it prevent people from making painful mistakes. For those that have knowledge about wallet won't fall victim of allowing anyone to assist to create wallet. Spending time to learn is not a waste, it saves money from entering the wrong hands.

It is so obviouis that this is a scam. even a 10-year-old kid can tell how scammy it looks. lol
Honestly if there are any grown-up people who fall for this kind of shit. then they are very stupid.. as saying goes there will always be enough stupid people for scammers to scam. I am sure a lot of people fell for that which really sad.
@OP I must thank you for creating this thread and warning people here. I hope anyone from this forum who read this post at least not fall for this or any other scam like this in future. we should all do our part in warning as many people as possible. because educating others in crypto is really important.

As funny as it sounds, a lot of people will fall for this obvious scam. A lot of person's don't want to painstakingly read through the process of making or creating something own their own, hence creating the lacuna for scammers like this to have a filled day. If you create a bitcoin account for me, it simply means you can easily withdraw my funds since you where the one that created it and you have my login details. Social media is one place that needs to be sanitised on a daily basis, because a lot of people are gullible out there. if we allow this scammers have free space especially on social media, they will end up hoodwinking the vulnerable one's among us nonstop.

Surely, scammers won’t be posting negative comments that would ruin their plan, but will filter those negative ones and chose positive comments that will attract its viewers most especially for those newbies who are eager to gain quick profits. And most likely, those who post positive comments are just also part of the scamming team so that it will look more credible and realistic on the eyes of the future victims.

While scamming has become rampant in social media, but a lot still end up falling on their traps. Most probably because of greed, and the lack of knowledge of these newbies that lead them to believe on what is clearly too good to be true or scams.

Obviously, newbies are always the prey for these scammers. They easily get scammed through social media and they forget to very every little information about what they received through the social media. Their desperation has caused many of them their fortunes and lots more. Until they encounter such they would never learn but rather keep falling for scams that they could easily verify.

Scammers always have their own ways of getting at unsuspecting individuals through their posts and comments. They make post and their fellow scammers would reply them commending their good works which makes it obvious that they are same syndicate and it takes only a calm headed individual to note them and do away with their gimmicks.

it's funny how this guys have become too good at deceiving people with sugar coated words to become victims of their evil plot. And the reality is that so many pertains that don't know how the wallet works will easily fall victims and ask that he creates a wallet for them thereby giving out their seed phrase willingly to an outsider.

The truth is that scammers are very tactical individual and would continue bro going up tactics to lure unsuspecting victims and people would always fall into thiwr traps.

this is so true, the best any person that feels he should help you can do for you should be to teach you how to do things, I get really uncomfortable when instead of teaching me how to do things by myself you want to help me do it and the only knowledge I have is just damn one sided.

Make the sacrifices of doing your ow personal research about anything before ever venturing into it. It might just cost you small data and time but what ignorance will cost you is unimaginable.

It's a blatant scam. I wonder if newbies can fall on an obvious scam like this. Imagine you a newbie, investing your precious money to not do a simple research about how to use bitcoin. People who are lazy enough to rely on others rather than educating themselves are the one who can get scammed easily. There are so many opportunities on cryptocurrency but I think newbies should at least learn the fundamentals first and stop thinking that investing on cryptocurrency will make you rich overnight.

The phrase, Ignorance is bliss should be changed to ignorance is hell especially relating to finance, sad truth that there would still be individuals who would fall for this scam but I guess they would be totally ashamed after this, since they fail to realise that wallet is similar to their bank account and so how many of them would allow a total stranger to create a bank account for them or at least send their account balance to a stranger.

This scam is actually dangerous, since after sending a screenshot of the wallets to the scammer even if the person then understands that he/she is about to be scammed and end contact with the scammer, if the amount of coins in the wallet is enticing to the scammer, they scammer may find a way of Robbing such individual offline since its social media, getting details of such individual will be easier. The best is to totally avoid it.

Almost all the time we talk and teach about how people can avoid being scammed by these scammers and how they can lower their greed and get it in the back of their minds that there is no free money anywhere on the internet and crypto-currency investment can't just turn you wealthy over night.

Sad truth but the hype of getting the next Meme coins/tokens like Shiba Inu, Pepe, Baby doge and their likes has made alot broke rather rich if only they could avoid the hype from all these social media and invest in bitcoin.

The people in the comments might also be part of the scam. In scams like this, the scammer usually play different roles, they have different accounts which are used to signify interest in the comments and also to post testimonies of how successful they have become because they trusted so and so platform or trader.

This is literally true and I don't think any scam in this category will succeed without having team of such doing this kind of background and that's why not all reviews especially on social media are to be trusted, we have to be really cautious of were we get reviews or financial advice.

This criminals always work in groups, they have there cronies in every areas to convince their victims that they're legit, so if the victims go to the comments section they'll see a lot of good remarks from other investors, not knowing that the commenters and the scammers are all working together. So trusting an unknown site on social media, because unknown persons are endorsing it on the same social media is a big mistake, we must treat every unverified links and sites in the social media space with carefulness and distrust, because scammers will consider every areas of suspicion and try to cover their tracks so the scam will look very legit. I don't think that media outlets can do much to curb these menace of scammers, so the only option left for individuals are to carry out research before engaging in any unknown social media transactions.

This is not nice for the crypto community and this when succeeded by this scammer will make most of his victims not to trust cryptocurrency and generalise it as a scam. A lot of this scammers are the ones that are scaring people away from adopting the use of this technology and all what they see is that they’ll be scammed which a bad ideology for newbies to have because they won’t be willing to learn more even when they’re trying to convince them on the right thing to do due to their initial experience about it. I hope most of this scammers will not succeed in their aim because they only make it hard to have more people that will embrace this technology.

It pains me seing that people are more likely to fall in for things that are fake than the ones that are genuine and real, that is why most of the social media influencers ended up getting a number of them to a fake and untrusted deals on unsolicited websites, at the end money is involved and they got attacked and fake it all, it's not that we cannot make money through online things, but we have to be careful from what we hear others saying just to lurk us into their trick and attack us instead.

These days, scammers may be found anywhere, and the only way to prevent them is to not click on the links that lead to their platforms. For this reason, a lot of people frequently advise against using social media. If we truly want to utilize social media, we need be aware of the kind of content we visit because not all of it can be trusted; some may even allow us to make money, but some can be very harmful to us. Is good for us to avoided scammers, especially those newbies who are that they are intelligent, they didn't intelligent reach them scammer, as they constantly conduct research on the subject so that naive people can measure themselves against them.

Exactly because some links, if you click them, they will take advantage and get all of your information in your phone. If you read that op thread, someone who knows what he is doing will know that is a scammer. How can someone you don't know say he will open a wellet for you and you should transfer your bitcoin to the account? That is why it is best to be very cautious when doing anything online. Scammers use a variety of methods to trick individuals when they believe they do not comprehend something.

Sometimes I reason that people who scam through social media don't know what they are doing or they just decide to take the task, because how can scammer say if you deposit money in this website or platform you will get double of your investment in 24 hours without doing anything, and because you are in need of money, you will use your money and invest with it, and later when they scam them, they will start complaining, and you are the one who gave them your funds.You don't want to do any investigation on them because they promised you a profit.

Fake news is more common on social media these days. Some people share all kinds of weird information about their channel to get more subscribes, followers or views which has no basis. The persons who have the minimum knowledge of this subject will not be eager to attractive advertising or financial transactions without being sure.

This is not new anymore. Instead of using social media to educate and bring awareness to the people, scammers have taken it as an easy channel to deceive people most particularly who are greedy with money as they can be easily tempted especially with great offers. And to think that a scammer will offer you to help to create your wallet or help you buy bitcoin using your own wallet, anyone who falls for this has totally no knowledge on how to secure his own wallet without letting anyone have an access to his own wallet.

It feels quite sad to see so many ordinary people who are somehow lazy enough to analyze and study things that are new to them first. It's sad to see how beginners or ordinary people in the comments column are most likely to become victims of these scammers. In fact, there have actually been lots of cases like this before, but it seems like this isn't enough of a lesson for them because they haven't experienced it themselves. Sometimes people believe more in the sweet promises of people they don't know at all compared to people they know who make them aware of the possibility of a scam, and distrust us if we make them aware that they might be scammed. .

The problem is trivial, namely because they want money and they believe in sweet promises more than the facts we provide. Well, that's how regret will definitely come behind.

Nowadays as the world is progressing the number of fraudsters is increasing day by day so those who are new to crypto should always exercise caution.

The number of fraudsters is increasing, and they are coming up with new strategies that if you are not calm and careful, you will never believe they are scammers. That’s why we all have to be very careful, especially newbies, because scammers are always targeting newbies because they believe they are new to crypto and they can be easily convinced to fall for their tricks. That’s why newbies should be careful, they shouldn’t trust anyone they meet; everyone should be a suspect to them. I'm sure that’s really going to help them.

Quote from: Bitcoin_people on January 14, 2024, 11:10:56 PM

There are many fraudsters who advise people to invest in different places with personal messages from Telegram groups and there are high profits all these things fool people.

When you receive a message from a random person on Telegram, you should know that the person is likely going to scam you. Seriously, Telegram is just full of scammers, and we have to be very careful. Don’t even click on the link you receive on Telegram asking you to invest or asking you to input your private information, they are all scammers, they just want to take from you, they are always giving attractive offers with no risk just to attract people to invest, and after investing, you will never hear from them again.

They will never change, this is total nonsense and this person is a very big scammer that steal people’s money by taking advantage of their ignorance. I just pity the many newbies that will fall victim of this scam now thinking that the guy is out there to help them secure their funds. Posts like this are suppose to be reported immediately, account banned forever. This is a wake up call to all and sundry about how scammers can easily get through to scam their victims, he looks amateur in this but will still get to scam those that have no prior knowledge of wallets.

Scammers are mostly intelligent and they think ahead of their victims always. If this method becomes obsolete, in no time they will look for another one that will entice newbies to believe in them and they get to scam them again and again. It is advisable not to learn from social media as it has become a hub for scammers. Before taking any step that involves money on this space, do thorough research but that is what will make you know and differentiate between scam and legit information.

That’s true, sometimes we will find some useful information about crypto on social media which can lead us to proper investment and can guide us and also educate us about cryptocurrencies, but mos times scammers find social media an easy channel to get victims because innocent people that are willing to make money are always on social media looking for easy ways to get money which is why they always fall victims of such scams.

As a newbie and crypto enthusiast, make sure you validate any information you get and always avoid too much promises from that is mostly ending up as lies. Make sure you learn how to do your own research and always ask questions before investing.

Very small that is shared on social media can be something useful. The rest of all that are distributed on social media on average is only waste that can be misleading if we follow.
Fraud is played by fraudsters on social media even though it can be easily recognized if social media users pay attention to it.

Download applications that are not from the official website of one way so as not to get caught up in fraud.
Fraudsters will carry out the action by creating fake applications similar to official applications that have large enthusiasts such as the Exchange Binance application and other applications.

Trust Wallet Although not a fake application that is downloaded, it's still not the best crypto wallet application in my opinion that needs to be avoided. There are many users so that applications such as trust wallets are the target of fraudsters to imitate it.

Scammers have made social media platforms their playground by taking advantage of users' general ignorance about cryptocurrencies. These con artists profit from the overwhelming amount of people who are ignorant of the nuances of the cryptocurrency market. Because of their lack of knowledge and desire to make quick money, gullible individuals are easily tricked by attractive offers that promise quick financial benefits in the cryptocurrency space.

In the overall scheme of things, knowledge is important in many ways. Many people struggle to succeed because they don't realize how important it is to educate yourself before starting a business or making investments. Scammers take advantage of this ignorance by using a variety of strategies to trick consumers. They are always coming up with new ways to con people, taking advantage of people who haven't taken the time to educate themselves.

People who are well informed are less likely to fall for these scams, even if they are always changing tactics. Thus, highlighting the value of learning becomes a crucial line of defense against the persistent threat posed by frauds in the digital era.

It's hard to imagine anyone being fooled by such nonsense on social media. People who are deceived by letting other people make their wallets are the same as letting thieves take our things before our very eyes. I can't understand how someone could be so stupid as to tell someone else to create a wallet and fund it. I am sure that such a person will be frustrated and experience deep regret when he realizes that he has actually been deceived.

It's quite ridiculous, but if he's a beginner it could happen without him realizing it because he doesn't understand how crypto mechanisms work. wanted to make a profit from crypto and there was a scammer who offered him via social media and finally he was interested. For anyone who wants to get to know crypto, it's better to be careful because many scammers will lurk when you want to put money in.
People who are deceived do not want that to happen, because it is their fault that they are not careful enough that they can be deceived easily.
