It is an old one for sure and like all the other scams, it keeps on coming back.
That's what I noticed and it truly is an old one but can't be stopped and there will be new victims of it. As long as they see people that are still becoming victims of this old trick, this old trick will continue to live.
It keeps coming back because it's pretty smart. The guy distracts you from the real danger by talking to you about how the casino is bad for him and he wants to teach them a lesson for not paying him, he'll talk about the exploit and you focus on this aspect, whether he is the real admin on the site, if there really is an exploit, if it's not a way to make you deposit and lose money gambling. Most people don't think that the whole casino is fake, which is where they lose.
That's they connect with their potential victims, they're going to get you through good conversations so that you won't even have an inch of thinking that they're going to scam you. This is a modern day technique and not just happening online but also in real life. I've seen people really going to take care of you but from the very start, they have the intention to do ill and scam you.
Yeah, it was all planned and ployed until you take and get into their trap without knowing that deep inside these people they're thinking that there's one victim that they're going to take their money. That is why trust no one in the internet even the people that you know because when money talks, they'll show their true nature.
I have a rule in general that if someone contacts me it has to be with a question, a problem I can help them solve. If they have a "deal" for me, even though they don't know me at all, it's always a scam.
People won't come to you with a job or an opportunity to make easy money. They'll contact their friends and family first.
It's always sketchy when out of nowhere someone tries to tell you, "Hey! We've got an opportunity for you to make money!" Like what are they doing telling people these opportunities if they can do it on their own, right?
They can keep that opportunity and do it as much as they can until that opportunity runs out and gone into nothing. But, a simple logic as it is, many still take the trap that they create.
