Topic: Giving Eth To Receive Eth Scam - page 2. (Read 980 times)
I never found this kind of scam on twitter but on telegram..i think someone added me there..and u can see the messages many people say thanks for receiving 5eth,10eth ,12eth by sending 0.1eth for example..it depends on how much eth u send..many people might fall victims to that group because it seems the promise of receiving eth is very true..
If it's too good to be true, then it probably is, to be honest only stupid people who fall for this kind of scam, and you should not rely on any software or add-on to protect you, use your brain, or close your twitter account.
Indeed, it's good not to quickly believe in anything that suddenly becomes good to give something, because that's where fraud often happens. it's better indeed to close his twitter or make a new return.
I have stumbled upon this scam on twitter, send ETH to recieve ETH, at first i was excited since i was new to crypto but i wasnt too excited as not to verify from the telegram page as to know if its a scam or real. Lucky for me thats how i didnt fall for such scam. I just wonder what can one do to really stop this scammers.
They should always check the twitters account if its verified if not just ignore it. Erc20 airdrops are now filled with this selfdrop that you send eth to received a certain amount of coin that has no value or use for & I think this is part of those eth scam.
Lol, i didnt think people will easily fall in this simple trick. Just the word send eth first will give the meaning that everything is scam. Be open minded in this world and dont be like a kid which ignorant of what is real world. Specially in crypto there are uncounted number of scammer
I have stumbled upon this scam ones or twice when i did my first ICO, at first it was too great to be true, i was so happy and sad at the same time, when i found out it was a scam. It will be difficult for Twitter to stop this people, i do believe every individual should apply a little knowledge and common sense. Making money aint that easy.
yes u are truly said. more public awareness might be the prevention. those are participated that type of bounty, they can only blame themselves.
I have actually come across it time without number. Its a serious scam in cryptocurrency.i think there major targets are gullible minds.send Eth and get Eth in return.

i would suggest community members to unite against bad elements by reporting suspicious activities like questionable bounties or airdrop schemes to moderators.

Scam (in this case, questionable bounties and airdrop, etc) isn't moderated. A better approach is to create a scam accusations thread/post.
I am sure everyone who is into cryptocurrency will come across this "giving Eth to receive Eth" scam at least once when participating in a bounty campaign or doing research about a certain coin.
This is especially true when you browse through Twitter where there are fake twitter account pretending to be someone famous & asking unsuspecting victim to send out Eth in return for more Eth.
My question is, what do you suggest we can do to prevent our friends and family from falling prey into such scam? Do you use any software or add-on to block fake accounts from appearing on your Twitter timeline?
Hopefully Twitter will impose stricter rules for people from opening new accounts to stop this serious scam from becoming more serious.

This kind of agreement obviously is a scam. But still, many were deceived by this kind of set up. Best thing to do is to ask ourselves, "who on earth will give us a favor without benefiting them first?!"
we have this metamask which will eliminate potential phishing sites. this is very helpful even for experts. i would suggest community members to unite against bad elements by reporting suspicious activities like questionable bounties or airdrop schemes to moderators.
I would say in the end it's up to the individual to make an informed and wise decision however just that fact that we are speaking about it right now may give potential warning to a would be victim. Also speak to your family and friends as much as possible about it if they are looking to get in.
I receive a lot of scam phone call from people in India, Pakistan, those areas where the laws are not to strick on running such telephone scams.
I normally don't pick up, wonder why they keep calling, and imagine that they don't make any money at all, whatsoever. But I've been reading a lot on it, and it's very profitable. Apparently a lot of elderly people fall for such scams. Scam of, send us $1,000 so that we can send you $10,000.

It's is very annoyed, that some fall for it but can we say this is because of greedy or ignorance, some noobs might for for it though but not should someone who has been in crypto for long fall for it and if that happen they he must be looking for quick rich which end up be scam, only thing we can do it to retweet or comment on such post with scam and that might save someone from it.
I can't imagine anyone being into tech falling for such a scam. They would have to be kind of too mentally slow to begin to use crypto. (No offense for anyone who fell for such scams and is reading this.)

You don't need to be stupid to fall for a scam - same as being religious. You just need to be gullible.
I've only met a few of these scams.Vitaly Buterin writes a message which asks you to send him 0.1 ETH.In return he will send 1 ETH. Scam old,no one now is not to cheat.Yet there is a Scam where you need to send 0 ETH what is the address and come coins.Here I did not understand what it is.The ETH Board will take
Vitalik Buterin recently had changed his twitter official account name to Vitalik "Not giving away ETH" Buterin.. i think his Eth network attracted many fans of scammers
wondering why this funny thing Only in Eth... their scam not in the other currencies ?
not only in twitter even in other social network... send 5 eth receive 10 Eth..
probably you won't believe 'em .. and think it's just a joke who's the idiot will trust them /Or fall in their trap and pay for,
but that's totally the truth if you scan the address.. then their scam scheme or their spam efforts are make sense..and many ppl
daily have a stolen Eth.. the question is.. Next time those ppl will learn and won't believe fake promises from scammers.. Or not ?
Other point.. you can prevent those scammers but unfortunate it's temporary won't stop their network.. many scammers everywhere
even in the real life.. but we can reduce that by spreading awareness through social media for ex;

It's a classic scam that has existed long before crypto. I guess it works because all scams have been tried before and the scammers stop doing the ones that don't work. That is why we all get so much spam in our email...because people out there actually click on it. Who? I met one once...I was like don't click on that! People are dumb sometimes. But that doesn't mean it's your fault if you get scammed...it's the scammer's fault. But like someone said, it plays on your greed.
