Topic: How scammers can steal your tokens (Read 217 times)
The crypto market is relatively small one (in fact it is smaller day by day) and it is highly manipulated and it is reacting on FUD, news, big sell orders etc. It is important to spend some time in the crypto world and understand how the market is behaving before investing. Otherwise, you could lose your funds if you start panicking and dumping your coins.
I think that is described in the main post, already know a lot about it and other participants, I think scammers are developing very much in the cryptocurrency you need to carefully always check everything (
I do not think that this will be so obvious, because today there are all the same so many social projects that really force people to try very hard to deceive one or the other. It seems to me that this is a difficult job and not honest.
Scammers are very wise nowadays. I did not even think this simple trick could get-rich-quick them. Thanks for this, we can now avoid this kind of scam.
Scammers never sleep, every day inventing new tricks, we need every day to share experiences, together we are stronger.
Thanks for the warning, much appreciated. I almost never used EOS before just in a couple of transaction to play games and some other minor stuff, so I want to ask a question after they send the fake token they have to find a way to connect with you to claim the real token correct? My other question is can't you guys check the credibility of any token sent on EOS easily? I mean if you had EOS balance already the fake token will be super easy to catch!
Scammers and fraudsters are more cunning than as stated above
Scammers are able to steal your tokens because you give them the oppurtunity to do so by making yourself vulnerable
If you get any link regarding any project

Of course what you have described thank you very much, I was faced with fraud when I was sent tokens of a fake project and wanted me to send real, and also common phishing ( 
Crypto community needs to be vigilant all the time against these scammers and thieves, mostly they can contact you through telegram or email and they will try to get your personal details and data, so never fill out any links or forms they send you and also never click their links, secondly always use a strong and unique password for your wallet and keep your secret key at a safe and secure place and never share it with any one else.
If a random person contacts someone through email/telegram/facebook asking for his personal and crucial info and that person replies and falls for the scam, then that guy really deserves to get scammed. You do dumb stuffs, you pay for it.Just using a strong password for your wallet won't help. You will have to keep your computer secured too.

I really didn't know this method, thanks for the link to the article..it's a very elaborate plan to steal money but I think I will be very carefull when I will have to transfer some coins.
in fact there are many ways that can be done, but the mode that is most often used is by making an exchange website display that resembles the original exchange. and finally many people are trapped into that trap

I think that there are a lot more coins like this than we actually realize out there, so many coins that are pretending to be other better and well known coins and for people who do not know how to check the smart contracts of these coins will be more vulnerable to the scams like these as they would not know that the coins that they are buying are not the real coins. Scammers are more cunning. The ease to issue a token as well as the ability to create the same symbol are helping scammers to steal money from investors. But if they face to the professionals, no door to suceed.
Reading their method, I wonder how it's possible that they were successful before. In this case, the Gamblr team only needed to do a simple check to avoid being scammed.

Thanks for your feedback guys
Usually there are many ways used by scammers to steal like send pictures that have been inserted viruses, phishing, spoofing, etc.
I dont know how the scammers did that since on their first attempt they are successful to get EOS back but on their second attempt they lose a huge amount also that just serves them right hahaha. Kudos to EOS dev and team for tracing the vulnerability but still man, how did the hackers did that.
They do not send real EOS tokens, it's fake
Scammers lose nothing.

Basically they will do anything just to copy the identity of the coin that we have. Even scammers are good in graphic designs so, we should double our safety when it comes to wallet address and private keys.
