Topic: How a sophisticated scammer steals your bitcoin - watch - page 2. (Read 229 times)

It's easy to avoid this scam, all you need to do is never click anything and don't move anything.

There's smarter scam strategy, which is using KYC to get online loan apps. They're creating fake bounties, fake giveaway or fake job vacancy where KYC is the requirement to participate.

After that they will submit the KYC to online loan apps, withdraw the money to bank accounts they purchased from other people.

It's because the world become more capitalist, religion and moral are nothing, money is everything.

It is highly recommended for anyone to always follow the latest information about the fraud tricks used by fraudsters, this is important to be aware of so as not to get caught in their actions. There are many types of fraud that can be used by fraudsters, one of which is phishing, this type of fraud targets its victims via email, social media, or text messages, anyone needs to think twice before opening links or files sent especially by strangers. Ignoring anything sent by a stranger is better than being curious about the message. As a prevention of fraudsters stealing my assets, every message sent will be ignored and put into the spam list.

OR he simply wanted to share a video he found interesting.  Why do you make the situation so much more complicated than it is?

That's why we need to protect our identities and be more private because there are many unscrupulous people out there who will steal something valuable that we have. Their principle is simple, stealing using the skills they have, I also read some news that there were a group of young people stealing bitcoins from someone's wallet and they started planning something evil by contacting the perpetrators who said they were the service party of the wallet used.

If we are smart enough and aware, there is actually no service that will contact us unless we send them a message via the service number or email. Theft occurs due to negligence, therefore protect the assets we have and never give anything that is asked by others. Being anonymous is much better and let people not know that we have a number of bitcoins in the wallet we have.

Has anyone seen the video? It seems to me that few or none, as usual in these threads. I was wondering if they were pure psychopaths who don't care about stealing a few satoshis from poor people but the scammer says he targets people who have at least $50K, which is what he has from an Unchained Capital database. I guess this way he feels better thinking that he is “only” stealing from rich people, but what doesn't make sense to me is that people with so much money (according to him bankers, businessmen, etc) fall into the trap. I guess that as in all scams they play with big numbers and only with 1 successful scam in a month (by mistake or whatever) it pays the prize.

Spear phishing with a bit of social engineering makes most people a vulnerable target. Unfortunately, this is going to continue as long as people are willing to put their information everywhere. Data leaks provides these scammers with what they need to make you believe that they are from Coinbase, or any other credible company. The easiest way is to avoid leaving your information everywhere, and take everything that you see with a grain of salt. If in doubt, probe them further and directly contact the company.

sophisticated?? hah.. seems blackhatcoiner is admiring a script reader that cons people... nothing new(especially for blackhatcoiners past)

the scammer is not doing anything sophisticated. he is playing the same scam games as the old fiat scammers, just a different currency

even the scam itself is not complex nor needs any complex method, its a numbers game.
call 4000 people a week and hope to get 1-3 victims a week out of many thousands of attempts.

im surprised with blackhatcoiners past with his mentors teachings that blackhatcoiner doesnt recognise the games, or maybe he does and is just trying to fame up the scam like its a higher level of intelligence than it is, to add to his ego that his own social manipulation games are just as high as he presents the scammers as

..
the video is a guide to some to learn what to watch out for, but the general rule is no one should be calling you and asking you to move funds, whether its bitcoin or fiat. dont click links or reveal info to a inbound call. always use the official site or call the official service
dont do anything to any incoming communication that were not pre-planned/arranged officially

and the biggest lesson to learn from the scammers trick book.. they prefer the unsophisticated tricks, because if a smart person starts asking questions, they know he is less of a dupe, thus ends up too much work convincing them, so they prefer dumb tricks for dumb people so they can find the easy victims faster and just ditch the ones needing too much time to convince
this is why most scams seem stupidly obvious(to some), as they are designed to be

Our information online is more likely risks for us,  data are being kept and analysed for evil and good, phishing attacks can never stop, this is one of the most innovative scam ever.

One thing I must mention, we need to be cautious of the messages and calls we responds to and not believe every information we get from them, especially in scenarios like this. Also, never let fear run over you and thereby ignoring all this proofs of scams.
Thanks for this God bless you, we all need to be careful.

It's not about money, an ignorant person is ignorant with or without money. There is a saying that goes "the clever one is clever until the fool wants it"
if someone is careful with their bitcoin, they will never be hacked.

Don't wanna jinx it but I don't click on links or downloads to my Email if I ain't expecting any
And if i do see one, I just go to the app if there's a notification there then it's true
If not
Delete or move to spam and forget about it.
I'm quite cautious with what I'm clicking and sites I access that's why I use different devices
Why for surfing the web and doing shit
The Other for My holdings and engaging in things that doesn't require me accessing the Net.
Unfortunately scammers always improve and get smarter
It's usually a psychological battle first before technical
Once you loss The psychological battle, you have lost the war.

The trick is simple if we're going to think about it but that scammer uses a different term to validate a "notification" and a "request" just to let the victims click their phishing link and make them freak out about their Coinbase account or whatever account these scammers will tell you that there's something wrong. And they don't target poor people as he said, they target people with real money, a minimum of $50k. Wow, I cannot imagine that these people with money can still be ignorant and scammed by these guys even if there's nothing special about it. I think the way they talk can psychologically make their targets who are professionals as he described gullible to them. For most people that likes to sign up to whichever websites, airdrops and anything, be careful and don't use your main emails on them because that's how they've said it that they've got the database for the "unchained" users or wherever they get that from.

The moment we upload our private information online, that's the moment we are likely exposing ourselves to scammers. You, their victims, will never know they are getting scammed because of the trick they used on them.
 
Just imagine where you are being called by not just a common scammer but someone who has your complete private details as if they work directly with the exchange you use. How can you not believe them?
 
Then again, the point where they advise you to move your fund into your own cold wallet, not the one they give to you, never will it occur to the victim that this is the point where they are going to get scammed. The only place their victims make mistakes is where they try to reconfirm their seed phrase, and the scammer will get hold of it.

Hear the confession of a real-life scammer, describing how he operates behind the scenes: https://youtu.be/pskUt4ZjM4M. Nick, the target, recorded it in secret and just had a casual conversation with him. Just watch how they make 5 figures in a week.

It's incredible how many bad people there are out there who just want to steal from you. They are just a different breed. Cold and unprincipled. Disgusting and unjust, but important to be aware of.
