Topic: New Way For Scammers. - save your money ! (Read 538 times)
thanks for the warning, but something like this can just be a scam. a newbie may fall for it, but someone who has been dealing with crypto for a while should know that this can only be a scam. if you should pay something first to get more money, you should always be careful.
Thanks for the information, people like that should not be part of this community however that form of scam has been here for a very long time, I remember seeing it some years ago and it is probably older than that, I cannot understand how anyone could fall for it but if scammers are still using that tactic to get money then it means that it must work.
hello and thanks for the find. you are doing honest work
Cheers

You should remember that in the crypto market will be a lot of scammers and you should be sober in every circumstance. With the coins has existed in many years, you will never get a giveaway.
They tried to scam me as well, they used a new method. They send me for example a message on Telegram claiming that they have 5 BTC frozen in a so called, exchange. and that they can't withdraw these funds, and if I help them they will pay me. It's to steal my email address and password, when I create an account in this exchange.
Actually, this isn't new at all. In fact, very common and very old. It's quite crazy but people fall for it even today. Who in the world gives money away for nothing? And who would ask for 1 ETH to give away more? Of course it's a scam, so if you fall for it, you only have yourself to blame.
Nothing is free in this world. Really. Nothing. So when you see free, understand the risks, understand the conditions.

I absolutely agree with the friend. That's an old trick. They even do the same thing by imitating the celebrities.
I think they're trying to trick people into the lowest level. The real danger is that you can click on a link to steal your money or infiltrate your computer. You just have to be smart about what's left of it.
I have repeatedly received such emails. And it seems to me that you need to be a very naive person to believe in it. There is no free cheese in a mousetrap.
this type of scam the newbies will fall for this, it's not new a strategy for scammers, you can see a lot in social medias that they are doing giveaways scam, in order to receive your reward(tokens or 1 ETH) you must send 0.01 - 0.1 ETH first, I hate scammers.
It's too simple. So, I think people will know it's a scam when they see someone asking for their money to be sent to that person. I'm sure no one was fooled by such a childish game.
Thanks for sharing this info, i already see that kind of scam on social media, hope other people see it and avoid this kind of posts.
Even this scheme is very old some people still fall victims over this. People should be educated regarding these scams nowadays, I think some people are reckless sometimes maybe due to they lack research or informations even the veterans still can become a victim if the scam schemes are well crafted. So the best advice is to investigate and stay vigilant.
It is weird, nobody in crypto community believes in this shit. It used to work in early january when there was a hype around crypto and everybody tried to cheat this way.
Moreover it has just appeared and people haven't meet it before.

No, you were wrong.
I found a lot of people got scammed before on twitter especially, and they did exactly same just like what OP posted above. Even some of them were trying to impersonate Elon Musk using a verified Twitter account to make it looks real.
People will fall for this trick if they are in desperate need of money

We should think first before doing their request. Why such team will give us 1 ETH in exchange for 0.1 ETH? and you will give them first your 0.1 ETH. This is a simple strategy but many had been a victim with this scammers.
The thing I don't understand why people fall for things like this, do they think Crypto is a father Christmas land. Why would someone be giving out free $120 to people even Vitalik is not doing so. I think people get scammed because they are greedy and looking for free money but forget that there is nothing free out there, someone must pay the price
It is common for scammers to ask for funds in exchange for something nonexistent or worthless. This has been going around on twitter and in a few places in this forum, be vigilant
Yeah that is why I am really scared to participate some airdrops,
I have join some airdrop telegram group which also recquire some deposit in order to receive their token,

Thanks to the author of the post for useful information, but this method has long been known to many people. unfortunately now is the time that many scammers take the interest of inexperienced investors and involve them in all sorts of traps. many will be useful your article. if you come across some kind of fraud method then write about it on the forum, it will be useful for many people
Scammers always use the greed of people as bait to fool trusting people. It is not necessary to pay attention to calls to send a small amount of cryptocurrency to a certain address, in order to get more profit. This is almost always a hoax. Also, one should not sometimes react to such statements on behalf of the ICO teams, and if it does indeed come from the ICO teams, one should leave such an ICO, since it is almost certainly fraud.
Yeah this style of scaming is somehow already old and wont work anymore except for those still newbie in cryptocurrency. But still thanks for the warning post for newbies to be aware.
With the way they ask for eth is somehow too demanding and too overprice also,unlike the one I saw using the google airdrop form which mostly stating; “Please send 0.01 eth to this address and received a * quantity of token afterwards or a selfrdrop in term but in the end they are just shitcoins.
