Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks

Quote from: Emmybit001 on May 10, 2024, 11:17:39 PM

Bitcoin investment has been so good to people, but to some they got scammed because they invest in a wrong platform, and now with the way things are going scammer are alway busy creating fake website to scam people

Fake websites or sometimes phishing websites are pretty much common way of scamming investors. Newbies are the ones that are very prone to this because they aren't knowledgeable enough with regards to cryptocurrency. If only they are making research first before investing, then they might not get scammed or will fall to these phishing scams.

I admit that I also fell to these scams but that was when I was still a newbie and I know the things that I will do in order for me not to fall into these types of scam attempt.

My question is that how can someone dictate a fake website? because is getting too much, is there anyway the comonas need to know things like this if there is any.

- Going to Coingecko or Coinmarketcap would be a good option because they will not post phishing websites when you visit the project (at least that's what I have experienced). Whenever I look at a new project, I always go to either one of these websites and get their website there. At least getting it there will lessen the chances of you going to a fake website.
- After going to their "REAL" website and if you want to get updated into it, try to bookmark it. In this way, it lessens your chances of going to a phishing website because you already put the real website on bookmark. You will notice immediately if you are in a fake website or not.

Hacks are inevitable, that's why i mentioned top exchanges (top 20 by volume) listed on cmc or coingecko should be the people's first choice, most exchanges on this list with hack issue can still operates and refunded their users, unlike those small ones.

Top exchanges look to be better and safer than smaller exchanges, I agree but there is risk and probability that top exchanges can collapse.

FTX exchange is an example on how a Tier 1 exchange can collapse very quickly. Cases on top exchanges like FTX might appear in future, we need to be careful with our money and can not trust any exchange even it is top exchange, for safety of our money.

Reminder: do not keep your money in online accounts

Don't make it sound delusional.... exchanges have been hitted with a lot of hacks , seeing an accusations of stollen funds while researching doesn't mean that exchange is completely a red tag although some are obvious not to mention.. maybe the word reputable was too much on your side...

Researching always give you hint and knowledge on what are good and bad, accusations thread/post of "stolen funds" doesn't mean anything if it was resolved at the end which most reputable exchanges do, unless the exchange has a reputation of selective scamming, locking funds, worst cs, you name it, that's why the word "DYOR" has was made.

Wallet is wallet, not an exchange, you can exchange of course on other non-kyc platform but that's their limit, most people uses exchange is to regular trading either it's spot, future, etc. You can't force someone to use non-custodial wallet instead and follow your way of doing exchange

Never said exchange wallet aren't wallets good enough .. I use both and I raised the suggestion because we can all agree one comes with a better assurance interm of privacy and security of funds.. and that doesn't mean exchange wallets aren't secured too, there's been upgrade in security on both side over the years ... just that the way I see exchange wallet is through their word "Exchange" easy exchange more likely for business type...

When we can count coingecko and CoinMarketCap as part of research maybe not a solid one... even a reputable exchange can still be having the issue of getting accused for stolen fund although most are due to negligence, it will be so hard to come to conclusion just have you've said extensive researchis required.

There can also be a rest of mind to choosing a non custodial wallet over an exchange wallet Although that also need research but there are reputable ones like Blue, sparrow and Electrum exchange ge could be done on sites like https://exch.cx/ since they might not support auto inexchange (swap)like exchange wallets

Scammers are always creating and cloning sites so they can use it to deceive newbies and steal from them. This is one of the reasons why we have to be very careful about logging in to sites we are never sure about. Scammers have been strategizing and looking for ways and tactics to scam more victims. This might not stop soon and taking precautions is something we need to take very seriously so that we don't mistakenly fall victim to what we never expect would happen to us. This is why it is good for us to always check every websites.

But we can take help from CoinMarketCap, Coingecko to verify if the exchange website is real or not. Because there is always a real website link here.

Not all exchanges listed on cmc and coingecko are reputable, they are indeed real website but the chance of your funds getting locked in is higher than using those exchanges that can be seen on their top 20 exchanges based on volume. Always google the exchanges' review, either on reddit and here (bitcointalk) and other community forums, ignore those review sites since most of them are paid.

I am simply giving examples of users here. When a YouTuber makes a video praising a particular product, we trust that product and otherwise buy that product. Otherwise, when we don't get the service that the YouTuber said we get after purchasing the product, we blame the YouTuber and say that he made a bad product video for money. But we do not think that we did not sell the product from the site where the YouTuber asked to buy the product.

Many times it is seen that some fraudsters upload the videos of those YouTubers on their page, making people think that their page is authentic. The real idiots here are the people who buy those products just by watching the videos without checking.

Similarly, in the case of hiring a new project, if only someone else has invested, I will also invest in this reliability, then we will definitely lose our money. So we should always beware of such frauds and always take our decisions carefully

Investing in Bitcoin means buying Bitcoin from some centralized exchange. In this case we should always buy from trusted and verified exchange. But we can take help from CoinMarketCap, Coingecko to verify if the exchange website is real or not. Because there is always a real website link here.

Is just like most of this exchange wallet we see in google play store most of those exchange app happens to be scam, most people after downloading such application they might decide to move some of their coin to the exchange app without knowing that is a fake application probably thier coin will be stocked inside the exchange wallet and that is final. That is why as a beginner is very good to ask questions, so as to know the right exchange wallet to use. However there are so many Ways to dictate fake website this are:

(1) you need to consider how you find the website in the first place.
(2) look for spelling grammar and formatting issues.
(3) use safe browsing tools or website checker.

This are few Ways in which you can dictate a fake website.

I would like to add some suggestions to complement some of the points you have explained, get used to accessing the official link to install the application or the best advice is to just use the official website to use an exchange account.

Additional advice, always be careful about storing coins on exchanges with a low reputation because some exchanges have closed without notice, my friend has lost a lot of shiba coins in his exchange wallet because the exchange site has closed.

Such things will happen, when you are new here or new to something you may fall into a trap because if you are not very experienced. The biggest mistake newbies make is when they see that there is more to be gained than just getting in here. When he steps into the hole, his foot does not return intact. The number of frauds is increasing so you need to be more careful, it is not possible to eradicate such cycles completely but we will not give them a chance. Instead of taking a hasty decision, always enter the platforms after analyzing the current future well.

Scammers can always do everything just to make sure they steal what you have work, but you can stop yourself from being scammed, although scammers are very smart when it comes to getting your attention and making you communicate with them and make them access your account or wallet what you will do to prevent them is to be smart and stop yourself from any website or airdrop that are fake, I have seen many people got scam because of the fake website they get their selves involved, there are some fake websites and some links in that will be provided to you, don’t clink it because some links are very dangerous and immediately you clicked on the link they will get access to your wallet or account.

Many people also get scammed because of their greed, did you know that the best way for a scammer to scam you is to open a website and introduce you to the that when invest in their project you will make double it and that will make you feel like you should invest and gain more profit and at the end you will end up being scammed, newbie needs to know about all this because I know that they are the one that will get scam easily than anybody so let be clear every time you are in online.

Scammers always use phishing techniques to create fake websites that contain malware. Quite a lot of events and casualties especially those who like free coins and follow the airdrop are not obvious because many tasks must be completed including one visiting their website. How to check, I think there are many references that can be done, for example, check for security signs such as the "https" protocol and the padlock icon, and if it looks genuine and doubtful, make it a habit to look for reviews or additional information to strengthen the important thing, don't just click.

Fake websites have always existed until now because they were created deliberately by the fraudsters themselves for the purpose of deceiving more people forever. I don't know what website you are referring to, but if you want to invest in Bitcoin for a long duration. You only need to buy Bitcoin on a well-known exchange or on an exchange that is running in your own country and then store it in a safer private wallet. Because investing in Bitcoin has nothing to do with any platform except only the exchange where you want to buy a certain amount of Bitcoin and move it into a wallet that you manage yourself, because it is not recommended to store it on the exchange or on any platform.

I don't exactly remember Mane of the website since it's deleted now and even the person who tried trapping me to this website has deleted all the conversation and blocked me in Telegram, I guess it was in the year 2018 when I was introduced to a site based out of China as they claims which could offer us weekly returns of we keep our funds in their exchange as they promised something like they would pay us the profit they get out of trading fees but figured out it's fake due to reviews in Google when checked about the site. I think we shouldn't be experimenting with unknown platforms and need to check the URL carefully which using exchanges via website not app.

I am little confusing with OP question about fake website, actually when investing in bitcoin need purchasing bitcoin trough exchange wallet and most important to check about trust website to avoid with fake website.
Usually I search trusted or real website link trough twitter account or telegram channel and looking there which one real website or not.

All important website from metamask wallet until some exchange wallet have been bookmark in my browser, its easily way how to avoid our self from fake website and not get wrong when investing in bitcoin. I think checking with the media social account and looking there every exchange or wallet have linked their website and make us avoid about which one real or fake website before accessing it.

Even if a scammer (assuming the account has not been tagged) is the first to reply to the thread, it would be of no consequence because surely the OP should be smart enough to get a response from multiple users before deciding on what to do.

You're assuming everyone is smart enough to know steps to take to prevent themselves from getting scammed. That's not the reality, I have seen people fall for less obvious scams, some even take advice they get in their dms where no one else can chime in.

My initial advice holds true, don't trust, verify.

That is true, people are more gullible than they like to think. We cannot control what goes on in the dms, this is always the case whenever a newbie asks a question on an open platform. Scammers see this as an open invitation, this is why it is important for beginners to cultivate a habit of skepticism and being suspicious of dms they receive from strangers on the internet.

They should not entertain any dms especially if it comes from unknown person and if they offer something strange since usually we can always conclude that there's nothing good to happen there but rather we can always get a scam offers coming from them. This is why its important to have critical think and be skeptical on what we see so that this scammers or fake website creators will not scam us. There so many ways for newbie to verify if what they see is true and they can always ask people here since for sure they can get a correct answer from a lot of helpful people here.

Its understandable that its hard for newbies to understand those new information to them but frequent asking question can help them figure out the right answer on the questions bothering in their minds.
