Topic: New Bitcoin-related scam attempt email (Read 591 times)
you need to follow the basic rules of security in the network, and then you will not overtake these problems
I invested in one ICO and scammers tried to deceive me so many times. They are not very smart btw 
When payouts started, they even sent token holders the emails where "real investors" told that they are disappointed with this ICO and recommended another one, which turned out to be scam. Be careful, guys!

Be careful, guys! I can’t believe people still fall on this. If you own cryptos you obviously have same basic knowledge so you should know better.
Yes people do fall victims of all kinds of spams all the time and this is why I posted (to be exact, I was a victim of a spam attempt, not of a spam, luckily).(...)
It’s very helpful when scamming-victims are posting about their experiences through this forum. Thank you for sharing what happened to you. Anyway, let’s all be careful next time and think thrice about these things. Try to observe and reaearch first if possible.
Thank you for righting that. It’s very helpful when scamming-victims are posting about their experiences through this forum. Thank you for sharing what happened to you. Anyway, let’s all be careful next time and think thrice about these things. Try to observe and reaearch first if possible.
Didnt received that kind of email. And thanks for the information. People nowadays (those scammer) are really have a lot of resources just to scam other people. This is very alarming due to the massive effect of to the bitcoin community. They assume if they have a lot of bitcoun they are going to be rich. But they didnt think of the possible outcome of it. Like as of now, bitcoin is slowley declining its price. So no one really a sure winner.

truth is sometimes i do receive lots of scam messages and these scamers have lots of ways to go about, it looks like they'v got a forum were they come together and share ideas on how to go about there own work or something, some times their messages gets really interesting and you give so much audience to it next thing u know after involving it's a scam. nearly lost an ETH wallet due to a scam.
I can’t believe people still fall on this. If you own cryptos you obviously have same basic knowledge so you should know better.
I feel like the average user who uses computer everyday for various things, should be able to know better than falling to these easy tricks that hackers use these days, if you really know what you are doing and you don't click suspicious sites.
bitcoin people are harassment by scam. This problem are available now. You should be careful when you open email and avoid the scam. When you invest in cryprto you should sincerely handle this.
I never open email that consists and links. If I don't know from home I get this letter I will delete it immediately. In real time there are many scam.
Also when doing 'important' transactions 'especially wireless' you should be running a VPN. I like ExperessVPN.
This is yet another layer of protection.
I run Kaspersky which has a nice anti-keylogger and Malwarebytes.

Yes I also received some scam emails specially in terms of airdrops like click this link and get free airdrop.
When you click on that link you will become victim of phishing scam.

I received dozens of emails that were clearly fraudulent, but I ignored them.
I'm sure they'll get tired of themselves.
Ha ha it would be so great but I doubt it, as long as there are people who still fall victim. Unfortunately it requires only a few victims to render the whole scheme (and millions of sent out emails) worthwhile. I'm sure they'll get tired of themselves.
wow is that real? I think we should make our computer is more secure by using an antivirus and malware security, but how the hackers get the administrator permission? is it hard to get administrator permission from the internet?
Personally, I get many spam messages every day and sometimes by mistake open some of them. Thanks for concerning us your views. Really nowadays there are many hackers who are ready with a various amount of resources and items with which they can easily hack you. We all need to be very concern as BTC is hotcake and the computer can be hacked any time.
I didn't received this kinds message any more. But I think it is very important for everyone to know about scam attempt. Thank you very much for your information sharing.

They are really very resourceful and sometimes I think that this scammers are really that intelligent but unfortunately they chooses to used that God given talent to commit crimes. Because they know how to exploit the weaknesses of most individuals that most of the time they give in and paid those ransoms. I don't know, but if I got that kind of email, I would simply ignore it because I know that I'm not browsing porn sites, LOL, and I'm very careful as to what webpages I'm going through. Just stay safe though, maybe they will pull another variants of that scam and hope that you no one will feel for those scammers/extortionist.
Hi, I recently fell victim of a scam attempt and I thought I would let you all guys know. It is very well social-engineered, seems very credible and it really makes you think that maybe your computer was compromised and keylogged.
Basically they claim to have a keylogger installed on your system, to have hijacked the camera and have been able to hijack your screen - all while you - the victim - has been browsing porn sites.
Then I found a link on the internet and it seems that I was just one of many attempted victims:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Scams/comments/6v2ji9/a_little_blackmail_email_in_my_inbox_this_morning/
The attacker wants some money (ranging from 300 to 350 USD in Bitcoin) sent to some Bitcoin addresses they provide.
Hope you are all well and didn't fall victims!
Great to have you sharing here those things, I like myself that I don't have big amount of money on my wallet to get hacked or scam that way, recently one guy wanted to steal 0.3 ETH from me, but I cant afford that because of withdrawals, lol.

Some hackers scam us by creating new links and they suggest we click on that link so they steal their information and security to steal what our value
Don't fall for those phishing links that will be sent to you via email or even in DM because for me, the opportunity will not get close to you because you are the one who will get close to the opportunities out there and if there is someone that is sending email to you and you got interested then try to do some research first to clarify things out if it is real or not.
I fell like this is the fault of the users as much as the hacker, the hacker for scamming people and the user for not knowing exactly what to do, I feel like the average user who uses computer everyday for various things, should be able to know better than falling to these easy tricks that hackers use these days, if you really know what you are doing and you don't click suspicious sites you will never fall to these tricks, and you can even go the extra mile and learn how these kind of hacking works, because it takes a hacker to beat one.
Firstly so sad for you. We all know scam or hacked is one of the serious problem in cryptocurrency market. we all have to aware on scam.
