Yes, I can testify that newbies are still falling for this scam, I use Binance exchange for Fiat to BTC conversion and I have been sent fake alert twice, I don't fall victim because I failed to release funds until the actual amount of money enter my Bank account, those who did this evil act always ask for your mobile number first, they claim they needed your number in case the transfer went through and you aren't available online anymore, but they went ahead to craft a fake alert and send it to your mobile number.

I may take the advice that is coming from an exchange like Huobi but i can never admit or be subjected to using their exchange, most of this scams happening, they also have their own contributions joining in the rate and percentage of it happenings becau a centralized exchange is not safe as well when it comes to using a trusted and reliable means to have your bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency you've got, they are part of the dangers we are talking about here which may sometimes turn into scam when an exchange cease to exist and cart away investors asset with them.

No matter how old school the scam seems when they use it with some sugar-coating words and add some other props, it will be caught others by surprise and think it is a new investment opportunity. Thankfully in this section of the forum, there are always people that are posting new scammers' tricks and that's why members are recommended to always update themselves by reading new topics here.

I've always wondered how scammers still use their old tricks even though it has been so long since they were exposed and busted, I found out that the problem is from the people that are victims themselves because they seem lazy or just don't have time to read scam-prevention topics to save themselves from getting fooled in the future.

When there's money shown in hand as proof that they earn by the investment schemes they offer for sure there are still many people will get scammed by those scammers the past scam happening is not enough warning because there are still people looking to get rich easily without lifting there hands. That's why we can still see many people got busted by this scammers because they fall for the classic traps they set to those people.

Gamble responsibly
This can be good information for those that:

  • are trading fiat and crypto directly
  • are involved in P2P trades on decentralized exchanges
  • are trading fiat-to-crypto on centralized exchanges

What I can use that is similar to this is P2P trading, because we are not talking about decentralized exchanges or trading between one person and another person directly, I will use fiat-to-crypto trading, this is according to some threads I have seen on this forum recently which do not regard trading fiat to crypto on custodial exchanges as P2P trading, and which I think it is true that P2P should not be used for fiat-to-crypto trading on custodial exchanges.

I supposed to create this on scam accusation board, but I guess newbies that have just started to know about P2P trade in cryptocurrencies are the ones that can be often affected and many among them on this forum often visit beginners and help board.

Huobi global sent me this email today and this is it in picture or image:



This is no more new but people can still be scammed like this, I am surprised that I could get such email notification from Huobi global, which only means that this type of scam is still existing and occuring frequently as they talked about it in the email.

Let us say you are the seller, never release bitcoin from escrow unless you have checked your bank app or when you login into your bank account using the web browser and make sure you see the money sent from the buyer, (not when you see message or email notification which can be fake.)
