Scam Alert - Scammers Pretending To be Tradingview Officials. Scammers try to offer to sell products or to make investments.
They are doing this by phone calls. If somebody calls you from tradingview it's fake because tradingview does not call their customers!

We just need to ignore them. These phone scammers are always improving their techniques and tricks along with times. Since more than 5 years ago, I have read thousands of reports and warnings aboutphone scams at complaint board sites like http://whycall.me.

In my country this happens with credit/debit cards. Scammers make call to random numbers and talk as they are from banks. They give reminders of changing the credit/debit card personal code and request for each and every detail of the card. Further used to transfer the funds. This happened in large numbers and finally banks took responsibility and started to create awareness among the people. This way it has decreased a lot, and this thread here looks like a helping hand not to get caught into telecalling scams.

How did they get the phone numbers of the potential crypto investors or crypto-related members in the first place? Mass data breach by those scummy ICO's which pay you a few shitcoins to get your personal information through KYC.

I wouldn't share a bit of my personal information with any service related to crypto. You can't trust them, shouldn't trust them. If any gambling, exchanges, mixing or other services demand your personal information, walk away.

Tradingview has a phone number verification because of many fake and spam accounts. That's their way to fight spam bots. A guess scammers got the access to the tradingview's database.

I did not click on the link, since I'm pretty sure OP is looking for clicks and I won't give him the satisfaction (no offense, OP). Sounds very much like the Nigerian prince scam or those calls from boiler rooms where they try to sell you "collectible coins" which turn out to be common crap.

Why would i do that? It's not my personal site or anything like that. It's a warning from tradingview's official site. It's not the tradingview chart idea.

I've read the article and they instructed people to report such calls to local authorities. @OP can you move thread to scam accusation and change title to "fake/scam tradingview phone calls" or something like that so search engines could catch it and other readers could get idea what this is all about?

It looks like chart platform. Site is very old http://whois.domaintools.com/tradingview.com and according to alexa https://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/tradingview.com it is ranked as #423 most visited site. I don't think SuperTA is trying to get some views but they use that site very often (hint: https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/superta-2033265), so they have probably read that message there and shared it here.

You could always do what I do and never answer your phone unless you recognize the number. If the call is legitimate, they'll leave a message and you won't be subjected to a scam call. Not kidding at all here. I tend to ignore more calls than I answer, and it's worked for me so far.

Any idea who's doing this crap? I did not click on the link, since I'm pretty sure OP is looking for clicks and I won't give him the satisfaction (no offense, OP). Sounds very much like the Nigerian prince scam or those calls from boiler rooms where they try to sell you "collectible coins" which turn out to be common crap.

Many people use trading views to get trade analysis, so their services are used to commit fraud.
