Topic: Have you been scammed? How did they approached you? - page 3. (Read 918 times)
this days, the community is more aware of the subtle approach by the scammers and fraudster and therefore they saw the need for innovation in their old formats and mostly targeted the ignorant and the newbies on the blockchain technology to bring about verifications that gets to prompt them inputing their wallet private key to sign and then they fall prey.
I get messages everyday in Telegram.
Most of them approached me as investors, group admins or affiliates.
One way to detect them is that they will approach us first. And they always start with 'Hey User'.
Real investors or admins dont simply approach other people until we ask for their help first.

Remember. Never will project administrators write private messages to you in order to offer more favorable terms of cooperation. Throw at once a complaint to such people.
It is good for you if you have realized and understood to know scam. As you said that bounty manager or group admin will never approach you with such that words. They only will replay our message as long as we sent them a messages first. Therefore, we should be careful here in order to anticipate and avoid scammer that would take much advantages from the users.
Yeah, it's good for you because you have known about the scammer's way to get you. What should you do is just being more careful in doing or giving any pieces of information to them, hopefully, we can avoid them.
Well personally i have not been scammed yet. But friend of mine already scammed. He lost all his tokens in the wallet after he login into fraud website. The website look same as the original and after notice the domain of website is different. Its already end for my friend. We need to make sure all things that we gonna do is safe.
Certainly. Real admins will not do to write to you asking to buy coins or something else. It is always better to be more alert and check before you answer them something.
I didn't get scammed so far.
Because most of the scammers are obvious. And if someone on telegram sends you a private message just block him.
I could be fooled for Symmetry Fund ico, it was looking good and even posted on icodrops turned out to be a scam. But i was lucky, people find out before i can invest.

I have never been fooled, but when seen from other people's experiences. usually they are not thorough. usually they get offers via email with a big bonus.
You're right, real group admin won't approach us first. In each real ICO telegram group, there's always a warning in the pinned post about that. I also got approached by the scammers several times, pretending as an admin group offering a special deal but i didn't believe it as they have no admin tag in their post.
Be careful of scammers !!! my friend was tricked 3 Ether from a chat on a telegram
always be alert!
always be alert!
They are approaching me in the telegram mostly under the admin name and picture.
I know that admins never PM first, so I ignore them, sometimes playing their game just to see how sophisticated they are.
For example they are following you in the telegram group and when see that you are active they pm you.
I was almost trapped by phishing sites as well.

Yes I have experienced it too, the weirdest thing is they ping in admins name and picture
There people just create some shitty things and approach like a honest guys this will frustrate you more. There should be a full stop for such insane people's.
I have never experienced fraud but if approached by fraudsters it often happens. Several times they sent my message via telegram and email. But I always ignore it, I don't believe in those who always offer me to invest. It's too risky if I respond to their message. Better to do research on the ICO project.

Like you, I also had recent experience about scam. Scammers approach my accounts using the links they sent me on my gmail account. I don't really know what those links use for and I click it , I signed in my accounts and it is the time I have been scammed. They change the password of some of my accounts. There are also times that my MEW is using by someone and he/she is requesting some transactions on it. From that day, I learned some lessons. Most of them approached me as investors, group admins or affiliates.

I have not been scammed but I almost got scammed early this year.
I opened my mail and saw a message asking that I confirm my etheruem wallet address for onward receipt of an airdrop that I never did applied for.
The money was huge, so I clicked on the link provided, it took me to my eth wallet page ,then it dawned on me that it could be scammers.

Way too many scammers in crypto, we can't get enough of them lol. Hackers, scammers and even bounty cheaters who try to steal our work to get paid. I have seen every type of low life crawl out of the woodwork and unfortunately the greed for money has brought way too much of the scum of the earth into this niche and that's why many law-abiding regular folks won't touch this with a barge pole until there are enough regulations and safeguards in place to protect people's money. I feel sad that most of the worst in human nature has come out in crypto and I realize that we are not very civilized as a creation. Someone somewhere has tampered with our DNA and turned us into ugly little critters with no sense of morality or empathy, shame really.
I also meet such scammers every day in a telegram. I always start joking at them and write to them- "Hello, friend. Wait a bit and I will now send you my private key from the eth wallet")
It could be that it is a new way for scammers to launch the action. need to be careful in the field of crypto because scammers are pretty much hanging around. the telegram became a much used way possible for scammers in action because this is certainly related to the many projects that require to join in the telegram. so it is mandatory to carefully be important.
These scammers can contact us through anything. I am often contacted via e-mail and telegram. They offer a very promising investment and they provide the project address. But after I examined the project, that person was not on the project team. And I think that person tried to cheat me.
I think it is unanimously agreed that scammer approach first, another style they ue in scamming is to determine what your desire are and gauge the level of that desire in order to bait you into releasing your fund! In this case, you are the one that approach them first!
I've never been, I'm not interested because it has happened a lot, and there are still many who are trapped, even though the group admin has often reminded "admin is not PM first", don't be too greedy because just want to get big profits to be tempted by the lure of scammers , follow the procedure that you have for investment.
