Topic: NEW SCAM METHOD EMBRACED BY CRYPTOCURRENCY SCAMMERS - page 2. (Read 835 times)
Of course it's a scam, many newbies will fall for this kind of scam. Too bad that these days scammers are rising we should be careful now.
I definitely agree with this, as the cases of fraud against participants in bounty companies have recently become more frequent. The administration of any project does not need to ask for a deposit from you since you are not an investor but simply advertise the project and all so that if you receive a letter of this kind, then simply do not respond to it.
This is not only done in the crypto industry but also in other modus, such as lottery, text or call of emergency, and even up front. All of which are mind setting the victim in a state of urgency, in which the victim will be in a state of panic and will be forced to the pleas of the scammer. In these situations you just need to be calm and assess the situation so that you can avoid or get out of it.
You should always be aware of scammers, especially in your e-mails and telegram chats. I am getting more than 10 e-mails per day, where I am asked to deposit ETH to get some mysterious bounty rewards. Be smart guys.
Their devices are so many, it is only a daft person or someone so new to crypto or the internet as a whole that will fall for such or who is under a spell sort of. Paying for what someone is not aware of or never started in the first place. People really need to be careful however. Personally I hit the block button as soon as I receive such messages from whoever. I hate scammers.
I guess it is an old ploy used by scammers and also phishing attempts are also seen in fake emails where they ask you to click the link and fill a form, we should always ignore such emails and messages otherwise we can end up loosing our holdings.
Thank for the caution, we should never snet our money to anyone that we don't know, and this type of email spamming it's very popular way to get hacked also
if you know enough about the scammers strategy you should not fall for this kind of act.. everyone knows that this kind of strategy is scam
I dont even mind such info as there is always a group for every project I join, and if I see any email or msg I do confirm from admin before I can click on such email or link sent buly those useless thing that want to reap from what they did not work for .
This is why it is good to always use a certain email for bounty and another for real deal as they can hack your info to access your account and always use different password for such email with offline store of data .

Yeah, always check 10 times before you believe in any email... Always check spelling of the names/ links/ email names...
Yes its an old trick that still works till date ,the most dangerous ones now is backlogger malware and phishings ,you have to thread carefully in crypto space or you will lose all you've worked for
Definitely scam, if you get mails asking for confirmation without you registering on those sites. I will advise bounty managers to hide sensitive information on spreadsheet, like email, to avoid scams and hacks.
You receive those emails most of the time because the information is leaked from participating in bounty and airdrop. This activity has been going on for a long time, but now due to the strong growth of the market, it happens more
Everyone that joins ICOs, bounties or airdrops might recently be receiving some emails purported to be from a project administrators informing you of that your earlier contact of the support has been escalated and you need to be a certain sum of bitcoin or ethereum in order to abade the problem otherwise, you lose your investment or earnings.
It is a scam. Beware!!!

First, you have to check if the message is legit at all, they have a telegram channel you can ask them if these are all coming from the administrator if they don't have one, then you can post it here the name of the site and the issues and people here can bring you answer if all these are right.
This is one of the reasons I will never reply to any mail I got because I've been aware of this scam moves since years back so I'm been more careful

You can't teach an old dog how to bark. Old school social engineering methods are not useful in 2019 and these scammers should retire as soon as possible. Fake telegram names same as real admin of telegram group is another way to trick the new customers and scamming them. It is a scam. Beware!!!
Even the dullest person on earth should understand that this Idea of paying a certain amount is not only a scam but a fraud. That's why you need real sense to participate in Cryptocurrency.
Not at all projects that make fundraising are scams because their are still projects that do fundraising and they benefited the investors and the promoters of the project.Like this project this will soon make a good investment and make people will be benefited by this project you can join and make investments here Dencoin tokens.
Honestly I am one of the idiot victim of that scam. I received an email,the same email address and avatar. Asking my KYC and other personal info. So I trust to give it all including my private keys because they also said that they need it to verify if they already distribute the coin bonus then the next morning I found out that my token is already gone. So beware of that transactions.
of course it is a scam and when you reply to that email they will surely ask you to send eth or btc, which needs to be remembered if the admin will never ask or ask for it
This has been a very popular way of scamming people and I think people should have gotten use to this time of scamming for them to fall for it. A proper project will even know that this time is too critical for them to send such type of message to people who are truly their users. Hackers are doing everything possible now to have access to many crypto users’ account and if they can’t have access to it, they will get the user to commit fund willingly. They are seriously taking advantage of this anonymity of cryptocurrency and they are the ones that might encourage people to given in to regulated coins that can still be monitored if we don’t take care.
