Almost the same but if you look closer, you should be able to spot the difference in the letter "i": Magazíne
^{- Luckily, they didn't have a dedicated FB page or a website!}

Thank you for find out this tiny difference. You have got sharp detective eyes. I also missed it on my first view. So I don't think its gonna be easier for most of readers to detect the difference so easily.

Due to covid19 me & my entire family members were passing complex time for last few month. This is why I wasn't active too much on forum and specially on this section.

I'm sorry to hear that Sad

Thanks again for your words. I don't wanna remember the days which I have spent with my family member and how horrible situation it was. Specially home quarantine period which was really painful. All I can say that what we lost will not be recovered but we learned a lot of things from covid19. I wish our forum members and their family will be safer from covid19 in the upcoming days.

What happened: Fake Bitcoin Magazine BTC Giveaway
Type of Scam: Spreading fake BTC giveaway links through Facebook on Bitcoin magazine page
ANN thread: Not on forum yet

Last month I saw different type of money stealing activities on Facebook and it was on Bitcoin Magazine Facebook post. Suddenly one comment took my attention comment and it was about free BTC giveaway. Scammer was using same name and logo which was very difficult to identify that comment was from page authority or from outsider. Just the difference was facebook verification badge. Although I haven't found any page by searching on Facebook except real Bitcoin Magazine.

I can say that except experienced crypto users it will be hard to catch the difference between real page reply and scammers reply from a incident like this.

Here is some screenshots that I took luckily that time and hope it will help newbies to be aware about this type of scammers >

Real Bitcoin Magazine website

Facebook page:

Scammers Fake Giveaway;

Note: Sorry guys for publishing this post lately. Due to covid19 me & my entire family members were passing complex time for last few month. This is why I wasn't active too much on forum and specially on this section.

Attention: Dear newbies please stay alert and keep your step safer from this type of money stealing traps.
