Topic: Giving Eth To Receive Eth Scam - page 3. (Read 1002 times)
i have seen this couple time. the fact is they are playing on your greediness and ignorant. why give eth to recieve eth when you can just keep your eth and live peacefully instead of being greedy.
That is really scam.
If someone fall into this trap, just make it as an experience.
I feel sorry for it if it really happened to you.
there is no free money without some action/effort.
in the future, there is more scam/phising/the other way to make people lose their money. so just be careful

Any trusted project don't ask ETh for sending Eth or token Which on airdrop or anything
There are scammers who also use fake accounts (poser accounts) like john mcafee.
if you always go with the trend, you will not just believe mcafee, why? He shills product in exchange of money but not promoting the quality of the product if it really has the quality, and of course there are people who will always fall into that curse because mcafee is popular and a known person.
the problem is there are people who forget to distinguish what is the real account of mcafee and browse to the given links of the fake account and get to that pishing link.
In crypto industry there is no free.

Looks like Twitter has made the right decision to acquire Smyte to overcome this spam issue.

If you get scammed by things like that, I'm sorry to say but you deserve it. A little bit of common sense can go a long way.
don't expect someone to give you free money that should be the key for this kind of situation, just try to use regular method to have some income (trading, etc). There will be always much scam methods, people just need to know there is no free money without any effort.
Only advise i good give regarding these scams is use your common sense, there's no free lunch. I keep telling that to my friends and family and hope they don't fall for it. Ow and i report every scam i come across on twitter immediately to the twitter moderators.

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.
This is very true. Honestly, how can people fall for this?
On etherscan, latest comments at the bottom, there's always atleast one post about someone saying "this address is a scam".
While it's not always from these social-media related stuff, how difficult is it to realise that noone is giving away free stuff?
How many times has anyone actually done that? I mean, sure, some give away a few tokens or something..
but what time in recorded history has people been given "twice what they send" back, in any format - crypto, fiat, horses? never. (except for ponzi schemes maybe)

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.
