I have also encountered this case, I have followed his instructions: create an account, verify the email address... He finally told me to deposit some money to withdraw BTC.  Of course I'm not that stupid.

Deal- He will deposit me 3 BTC in nentrade.com and I will give him 2 BTC out of my pocket, prior to this, at some point he asked me if I had any BTC.

I don't know about the other, but for me. This kind of trick won't easily get me fooled. Cause it sounds so fishy at the beginning.
Why would he have assets in a place he doesn't know well. And another fact, he's willing to give a stranger some of his asset just by doing a simple thing. Too weird

I was in Italy meeting with a potential investor and I was approached by the person who introduced me to the investor and he said he needed some Bitcoin to pay off someone and he did not have enough.  So he offered to meet me in person and give me in cash the cost of the Bitcoin plus 10%.  He wanted 3 Bitcoin.

I felt something was wrong but I could not figure out how the scam would work. Since he was giving me the cash in EUROs first.  My only thought was maybe it was counterfeit money.  So I told him if I were to do it I would want him to go to a bank with me and give the bank the cash and they would convert it to USD. This way they could see if it was counterfeit.  He hurriedly said sure.  But in the end, something just did not feel right, so I said no thank you.

Seems scammers are really working doubly hard at this time. As the market recovers, scammers are also recovering their oldest tricks to delude people.

Just don't trust anyone.

Its has always be whenever there's a rise in the price of Bitcoin, but for this type of scam; it's not too hard to detect becasue of their offering of profit. Basically, this's intended to scam nobs around the world of cryptocurrency and not an average Bitcoiners. More reason why we must educate this community against such attacks. Gone are those days where they acted and many fall as prey to their scam, not now again.

Someone knocked me on telegram couple of hours ago and asked me if I know about cryptocurrency.
He said he is from China and can't withdraw his bitcoin from an exchange due to the ban. He asked me to withdraw the bitcoin for him and offered me 30% of the withdraw.
Exchange- nentrade.com...

This is so simple to not be scammed, just don't answer to this scammy PMs from Telegram and other social media services.

Easy money doesn't exist and if one offers insane amounts of money, you can be sure, you will lose a few times more in the end.

Such an attempt is just pure scam, to take your money or to involve you in illegal business, which will end up very bad for you, even if you get paid

They ask to open bank accounts on your name and hand over all access data or to take credit cards and let them use it.

Of course, scammers have very well made up stories, they will tell you, but all this is a pure lie, just to get you in.

One more time there is no easy money and if something looks too good then is almost always a scam.

I think the part where he immediately entrusted you with 3 BTC is what I can consider an immediate red flag since he probably haven't even met you in real life yet he is willing to hand you over $30k+ worth of Bitcoins.

Obviously that scammer is only targeting newbie in crypto or some greed that can be easily lured by offering high profit in return.
And I believe that this is also  a tricky strategy to reverse the situation from being sender to a receiver since at first he will promise providing the amount but sooner he will ask you to do it for him

These kind of messages used to come daily in my mail box, where it was claimed someone had left me huge sums of money and I needed to pay some fees in order to claim it but luckily I googled it and realised that it was a scam. Indeed this was intentionally targeted towards the newbies because they’re bound to send bitcoins in anticipation of receiving that huge sum. The worst part is newbies won’t be be able to recover their money once they decided to send it, hence it’s about time newbies start using common sense and stop falling for such scams.

The normal person he will find his close friend and make it an account in the exchange or even he can create his own account by using his family's identity if the exchange ask KYC.
It is the point, because even 1 BTC worths lot of money nowadays, even when Bitcoin dumped hard today. IMO, there is no reason to take risks and ask for help from strange guys in Internet while that guy can ask for help from his/ her relatives or close friends. It is not too hard to ask for help with people around that guy. Therefore, at the first glance, it is clearly a big trap for greedy guys.

It is indeed intended for newbie, let's imagine strange people who ask for help and he will pay a huge money to make an account in an exchange.

The normal person he will find his close friend and make it an account in the exchange or even he can create his own account by using his family's identity if the exchange ask KYC.

However, I like what the OP has done he seeks information first before making a decision. More than that he creates his experience on this forum in order to most member now the way a scammer does to cheat crypto users.

I have read similar stories about this months ago, it is not new. The only thing that changes are the websites that they create to scam people.
There was some talk about these methods in our local board as well several months back.
Never deposit any money and dont reply to people who contact you and ask you if you have bitcoins, it is none of their business and they are never legit!

Indeed! If we think that those proposals seems "too good to be true" then we must already be alarmed by it since it has a very high possibility of a scam ploy and knowing the signs in advance could help us not to become a victim of it. I think alertness and vigilance is the key to help us fight this types of schemes which are rampant in the whole crypto industry.
