So I will like to advise people that whenever you see an investment that promises a huge return in few hours or days, just know it's a scam.
Topic: Newbies beware of such tricks (Read 378 times)
Actually their is fraud everywhere especially Ponzi scheme kind of scamming which everyone can be victim of it, from my own perspective it's not only newbies that should be aware of scammer because someone that stays three years in the community can still be victim of this shit of scam.
While all these diversification or different method are been derived is because people love multiplication of income, so to avoid not to be involve via scam, is to verify investment platforms before indulging into investment platforms, so this can be done through research.
Newbies at times i don't see them like people who enter the traps of scammers, so i believe that what is emanating this level or rate of scamming is because of over excitement towards people who are money conscious or inquisitive, shall i will advice everyone take precautions because scammers are really interested to bring people down, and they easily get client through social medias, such as Facebook, Twitter, Telegram and most especially Reddit, so we should put our eye on ground.

Telegram is a scammers heaven in crypto sphere.
To check it you just need to join a cryptocurrency exchange group chat. Post one question about "not able to deposit" issue and you will be bombarded with DM of scammers who will act as support staff.
Generally avoid any DM from unknown contacts. If you get one block it. Never join a pump/dump or trading signal group. They all are scams.

And then, he will change his telegram to do such scams again to other victims to be.
Well, yeah, this kind of scam is actually very classic as what members here said. there are also not only this kind of scam, most scammers will offer very high profits by investing in a certain platform, get a very high return only in a short period. This always happens in a big YouTube channel and they are live streaming, but in fact, they are scammers who deceive everyone by that kind of scam investment.
Actually, this kind of scam will never end, moreover if the victims are someone who is:
- Newbies
- Eager to be rich soon
- Greedy
- Expecting for big profits easily and quickly
be careful guys

Every time I see that people are falling for this type of shit amazes me. Like do you even turn your brain on in the morning? THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS FREE CASH! OTHERWISE THERE WOULD NOT BE ANY POOR PEOPLE!
Why would anyone just sit on the internet and look for people to basically give them free money ffs. Thinking seems very underrated these days smh.

I don't know what to call it...greed? Or just plain stupid? T

Not greed nor plain stupidity, OP. Though there's a bit for stupidity, because there's plenty of resources in the internet to research about these scams.I don't know what to call it...greed? Or just plain stupid? T

Lack of basic knowledge to the field, I must say. It just doesn't apply to trading, crypto or stock market. It's in many industries out there.
Let's say you're not that knowledgeable in computers and someone claiming that they're computer technician offering you to fix your computer. S/he would throw technical words to you to make it look legitimate and of course you, not having enough knowledge to the field nor you probably won't care because they're too technical to learn would buy it.
This kind of scam is just normal on the telegram and other social media sites an unknown person will contact you and trying to reach you out until they caught your attention. Of course, this trick just effectively to the newbies who do not have any knowledge regarding the cryptocurrency investments, send and receiving of funds they are the ones who always want to catch by the scammers. This is the reason why some of us don't want to be independent to other people mostly if you really don't know as possible be conscious and knowledgeable to prevent this kind of people. Its just okay to ask other people as long there's no money transactions.
The scam seems so obvious but you all will be shocked how many people fall prey to these things. Despite the warnings and the "obvious" signs, they go ahead and throw in $$$ into a den. I don't know what to call it...greed? Or just plain stupid? There's a saying fool me once shame on you, fool me twice that's a shame on me. I think that's one thing people need to learn. We need to learn how to deal with shame of being conned because that's the real power the scammers have over you. They convince you not to tell anyone about your business with them, that way you don't seek external advice and are continuously bombarded with lies.
These are really obvious scams but unfortunately a lot of people are desperate, urgently need money, and are not sufficiently informed about crypto and that is why they believe in such false promises.
Once upon a time such scams were associated with adclick, MLM or revshare programs and today they are crypto scams.
Worst of all, most people who will see this warning already know that it's a scam but those people who believe in these scams unfortunately don't read such warnings or don't believe it.
Some people just can’t be helped.

Jeez, years go by and people are still falling to scams that are so obvious one has to be blind not to see it LOL.
That was a simple scam techniques it's either the investor is a newbie or dumb to fall for such a cheap money multiplier crab, what business pays you $5000 in a short while for investing $400? None, and people should also take note that there is no legitimate business on telegram, any body asking you to invest in any service for a big return is a scammer. DYOR before investing in any site or business
I know this is not a new trick scmmers are doing with crypto users on Telegram. I've come across several report of the same fraudulent attempt on local board a while back. Even though the site are different, the trick are still relatively the same. Try not to waste your time just serving scammer. Report and block the user once you become aware that it is an attempted scam.
First you have to know the person who you are dealing with you.
Everyone can pose/act like a multimillionaire through different social media accounts but in reality they were just a con artist flexing things that they don't own. It's a widely used scam tactics before so if a newbie encounter someone like them they might fall for it. So it's better to guide them if you happen to see someone is about to risk something that they don't know yet.

These are pretty much those comments in Facebook that I report almost 100% of the time wherein they vouch for a random fake profile that they claim that made them rich and all it takes would be just to private message them.
This isn't just happening in Telegram, but in Facebook as well. So newbies, if you know you're gonna deposit a money to someone else random, think about what you're doing.

this is already a well-known method of scam. I don't think that is only related to Newbies, I know some experienced people who fall on this method. double earnings in just a few days are always very attractive. And it is very sad that people give their last money from pocket or even borrow from friends to give them to fraudsters.
It's interesting, scammer from this case offering investment through bank transfer. this is something else and it can be sent and reported to the competent authorities.
Newbies are the ones that do fall for this type of scam, experienced people do only fall for scam related to new projects, no one in crypto for over six months wouldn't have known about this type of scam, they also know the very reason they should just not do it because it is a scam. Maybe some people can be greedy though, but knowing it is a scam already will make people not to do it. But as for novice, it is true that if they do not have money, they can even go to a family member or a friend to borrow. When I was newbie to this kind of scam like 12 years ago when I was in school, I would have given the money to the scammer if not that my friends did not have money also to borrow me, and funnny enough that I did not tell them (my friends) about the scam, maybe they would have told me not to do it that it is a scam, but luckily I did not have any money to give. It's interesting, scammer from this case offering investment through bank transfer. this is something else and it can be sent and reported to the competent authorities.

A very common scam. But it's good that you keep reminding everyone. We'll never know if some newbies will be victimized by these predators/scammers.
Newbies have to realize that there's no easy money in cryptocurrencies just as the same in real world/life.

Just with the fact that a deposit is required first before you can join in, it is obviously a scam already. They are not even trying to give you anything for assurance that they will not run away after they have your money. Newbies should always be observant with such acts and the obvious should not be stated anymore because such kind of scams can easily be figured out. Don't be fooled by them considering that they are obvious scammers, if you will still fall into this kind of traps, you might as well study again about the ways of the scammers so you can refresh your knowledge about them.
Classic scam.
To all the newies out there reading this topic: Use common sense
Why would a successful trader need your money ?
If they already have a method to trade or a flawless bot why dont they use their bot with their own money to multiply it ?
If you had indeed a technique which guarantied you huge returns, would you go around internet contacting strangers and tell them about it?
Please be careful, this is the wild west of the money.

The case is the prototype of this kind of recurrent scams, although the address being used on the screenshots (which is still the one displayed on the website) hasn’t received any TXs for well over a year now:

It’s pretty salvage how they insist on raising additional funds from your circle, in order to engross the amount they are after, which means some people that do fall for these sort of (clear-cut) scams even likely getting into debt whilst doing so.
Note: Unless this is a personal case, there should probably be some sort of reference link to the source.
