Topic: New Method Scam Alert (Read 182 times)

for some people who have just learned about crypto, this is a very useful thing that can avoid losses, which may also be beneficial for those who are already natural with rypto but have not found a case like this, but for some cryptocurrency professionals, this can be detected with just one look
but it does not rule out the possibility of this information making everyone more careful

To be safer, from the start you were asked by a stranger to do this, don't entertain right away. Even friends can back stab you what less can a stranger do, right? In this crypto world, you only have to focus on yourself, even if it sounds too selfish, but that's the safest. Thanks for this information though.

is there a good method to avoid scams, because not all new low-level managers do scam projects but don't close the possibility otherwise. so we must keep monitoring the project.

Scams like these are usually successfully executed on the greedy. Ordinarily, you should be weary of some random person on the internet soliciting for your with withdrawing BTC from an exchange you're unfamiliar with, but greed won't allow them see the scam therein.

I'm tired of this method of scamming people, hope to see new ways scammers will use which is more challenging and convincing that will convince me to do it and get scammed.

For newbies, take good care and don't practice greediness rather do hardwork, insert effort before receiving worth money do not rely on these too good to be true offer because it can ruin your life if you do eat the bait.

Good luck to both scammers and greedy people out there!

I ignore people who contact me on telegram and discord I prefer to answer only here in Bitcointalk, for the simple reason that I can always verify it correctly if he is telling the truth or just scamming me, there are so many people on discord and telegram who will messages like that or disguise as an admin of a well-known project.

People are different and maybe someone comes across such tricks, but still this information helps to avoid such situations more trusting people, so thank you.

Basically you can easily know it in the way how it ask you to pay first before you do a transaction. Your instinct in the Crypto world will guide you to understand and filter out if it is a SCAM or not. Better be cautious and aware of the styles and technique of those people who intend to use us and take our money.

It is interesting. But only effective on newbie or greedy people. All normal people will always ask to support service of this exchange. It is really weird when he asks to a random people in somewhere. If I was this author, I never tried to help. Because I never believe in suspicous links.

this is not my write up, but I find it useful to everybody here :
Just saw this message and found it very important to share with you:

I'd like to warn you about a new type of scam attempt that I faced today. Here's how it work so you can spot it without being scammed.

Some random user on discord contact you and ask to receive your help with crypto because they are unable to withdraw their BTC from some exchange giving a list of fake reason. They'll offer you a % of this BTC as a fee for your trouble and try to lure you into their scam.

This person then invites you to a fake but real-looking exchange website, asking to create an account there as his withdraw option is disabled but not the transfer option.

He'll send you the fake BTC and you'll see it on this exchange, but will not be able to withdraw it without making a BTC deposit first "because of anti-anonymity rules.

Their gold seems to steal this deposit and maybe some email/password at the same time. Don't be afraid for me, I'm used to spotting those scam miles ahead and create a fake temporary email to use on this website with a random password while logged on a secured virtual PC thru TOR network.

I strongly suggest you not to follow any similar request to avoid them getting some info on you or your money.
