Topic: [WARNING] Crypto casino scam on teh move again. (Read 324 times)

It's no surprise as we all at some point in life have faced this. Those who are close to us are the ones who will always try to take advantage of us. Just because they know more about us they have the perfect weapon to attack us. I have seen friends who have been with me for a long time and never talked about anything regarding money. The moment I started earning money, they came to me with this and that schemes to make more money. Because they know I have money now and they can take it from me for their advantage. I was naive and gave them money for investment. I never got that money back.

They have no proof of where they used that money and made losses or profits. I have learned from my mistakes already. Now whatever it is, I always make sure to double/triple check everything and want a memo or papers about every shit. Helps a lot LOL.

You know, I kind of relate to what you said about even people close to us being the scammers.
In the case of ponzi schemes, those take advantage of the reputation of others, so uninformed people will end up recruiting more victims into the trap.

I have myself dealt with people I have met face to face who have presented to me some way to make some money, passive income, and it did not take me 2 minutes before realizing it was a ponzi. The only difference between I and another possible victim is the awareness I have on scams.

If you have friends who like to gamble or are getting into the world of cryptocurrency, talk to them, about the most common strategies of scammers.

We are only humans after all. It's not like that I will never get scammed. But staying safe from it is common sense. Be cautious about everything. Even the close people to us sometimes try to scam us for their advantage. Double-checking is a must for everything especially when we are dealing with anything on the internet.

I agree with the fact that people who get scammed are the ones who lack knowledge about it. Gaining knowledge should be the first priority before doing anything. Not only just knowledge but proper knowledge. I don't even trust myself, and these people are trusting strangers whom they met on the internet. The internet has made our lives simple and complicated at the same time. If we are not careful about using it, then the latter one is for us.

It's actually common sense to notice these kind of scams however there still a lot of people who fell for it even on those scam attempts that are really simple.

Sometimes, these scams are just to safe to think about such as them asking for your account credentials and even depositing on your account whilst you have an access with the funds until you realize that they've change your password on your gambling account and other social or email with the same credentials.

I even tried to entertain them before and was able to gain access on their funds that they've deposited and put the funds on hold.

However, one of the most intricate gambling and trading scam I've been almost a victim was when they've made a group chat and informed everyone about what will happen. Some members will directly message you to make sure you'll be on board until you realize that most of the members on that group was just part of the whole scam.

And I think that's why the scam is very effective though, it's so simple that everyone can really fall for it (not only the trick from the scammers that the OP is showing). And this scammers knows how to play their victims mind, showing some numbers around our mind and then we fall for it until we realizes that it is too late and regret that we like being controlled by this criminals.


For sure, everyone reading could have a glimpse of what kind of trick the scammers are pulling on us. So we must be ready and check everything first and uses our gut feeling that something is not right.

Even though the scam method is simple and classic, but for some reason he is so confident in that kind of scam method, his greed wants to get the big profits that the scammer is offering him and he hallucinates that he will get rich from the scammer's fake gambling bot, finally he realizes he has been cheated and regrets following. instructions from the scammer, even though the scam case is ridiculous, some people believe in this simple scam trick.

Hopefully it will be a lesson for anyone to be careful about receiving messages from unknown people, it is recommended that he improve his analytical skills or check the reputation of the gambling site before registering an account.

You would be surprised on how gullible some people on the internet can be, either because their lack of experience or because they allow greed to take over their common sense. In their minds, it makes sense some stranger on the internet wanted to allow one to profit for free.

And I agree, scammers did not seem to get more intelligent or use new tricks to trick their victims, it would seem that this ecosystem is full of people who do not understand completely the concept of self-custody and the fact satoshis cannot be recovered as some bank transfer can be, both the gambling industry and the crypto community is not for those who do not understand noone is to be fully trusted with money, specially if met in a random Telegram chat, for Gods sake.  

How ignorant will you have to be to get scammed like this? If they are offering you such a thing, you should at least check the history, do some research on the Internet. That's not so hard to do. Most importantly, why should you choose platforms that are not reputable? If the scammers are using big platform's name, you can always go to their online support and verify.
Scammers are not getting smarter, we are getting lazy. We have everything in the palm of our hand and yet we ignore it all and listen to strangers. I mean, why? Doesn't take that much effort. If anyone even tries to contact me whom I don't know, I always ignore or report and block. And fortunately for this reason, I have never been scammed.

Well this is very common, it seems that they have been using any mode a lot, the most common and the one that many people have fallen for is telegram, which Makes a lot of investment, many things, where they can offer to Earn a lot with little, and the things like that are for one to think abou t, now a casino has a very peculiar way of making certain Moves , the first move will Always be to be able to attract with many very good promotions, and that contain Large profits, things that are sometimes very Strange in a casino is almost as they say, a high percentage of profit for a small investment, or playing with little money, so when we see this type of things it is quite difficult to ignore that something good can happen, when a casino gives away many things ummm that's something to review very well, because it seems Strange, there are always things associated with the requirements to do, so Depending on things you can subject yourself to many things , First to a Thorough review and second to see if they Actually pay for It.

On some occasions I have seen that some cases occur in the forum, that some casinos have arrived that always make themselves Known in the best way, even with a Signature Campaign and Everything, they give good bonuses, almost without requiring Heavy Wagers. , sometimes they can even regulate money or balance to cover a Number of bitcointalk users, so this type of thing, plus the signature campaign, and a large Amount of advertising through social networks, this is something that always It has happened, personally I would think that things will always be very determining when it comes to finding a casino that can offer us great riches, that is very strange , Always to do something very big you must do a lot of work , Nothing in a casino is free That's why many good Things have to be reviewed because in general it's bad, it's Incredible  but there's little good , so whenThere Are these Types of Things , they're the Ones we Should Take Care Of.

Fraudsters are always innovative to reach their victims by offering many things including winnings, if you think someone is coming to you it is clear that he will cheat him but sometimes people are complacent with the offer of 70% winnings and 30% fraudster commission it is a classic scam that we know.

Once there was a stranger by offered a new casino with winnings above 70% at this time did not respond to him because he knew the person who came unknown in the telegram was clearly a fraud, so I already knew how this would happen if someone came unknown then it was necessary to avoid and choose a casino that had really been played for a long time by you, because there was no casino that could be expoliated.

Correct.
Would you imagine if someday you wanted to fly on a plane and people in the airport took to you the interview room and you were in trouble because of some illegal stuff a scammer tried to do with your identity?

That is why I would only summit my KYC information to a casino which has been around for some years, because in the end, we do not know what a shady casino is capable of, specially when comes to information handling. Even if the casino does not have bad intentions, if.big companies like Sony, Facebook and Google can suffer from hacking and leaks, we can only speculate what would happen with a small service.

This has a bigger negative effect on us as gamblers. If we do this, our information won't only be used once, but they can use it many times to scam people or an organization, and we will be in trouble without even knowing about it. It's better to prevent this from happening than to get lured easily by some offers that seem too good to be true. While money can be regained, our reputation, if destroyed, could affect us in the future.

Thanks for sharing this. I believe it's always going to be a scam if it's too much. Like what others said, it's a "too good to be true" type of thing. Too much in a short time might make it really seem illegal or something. It's still best to make sure that you are doing the right things and are legal. Be careful.

Whenever I receive PMs like that, I sometimes go along the ride and just waste both of our time with that. Maybe I would be helping someone not get "PMed" in a bit lol.

To me it is not only the fact they are trying to scam people out their money, but the fact they also are trying to get your personal information, ID and even pictures of your face it is quite disturbing.

If I could guess what they are trying to do, it must be an attempt to later sell the personal data on the dark web or even try to extort their victims for even more money. 

That is why I immediately block anyone who tries to contact me on Telegram or Discord and we have a casino or crypto server in common, it is about 99% of a chance they are scammers.

We can prevent this by not serving what they offer. Somehow, they can tempt us into accepting their offer, and we end up being deceived. And yes, always checking what they offer can prevent us from being scammed. And don't easily believe what people we don't know say via Telegram because we know that Telegram has a lot of scammers.

When there is a very attractive offer, the psychological impact we will get is to immediately imagine how much profit we can get. And it will make us dazed and unaware so that we join them.

Scammers are now getting smarter at tricking people. I feel sorry for the gamblers who get scammed, especially since there are quite a lot of gamblers who want to get rich quickly, they will definitely be targeted by these scammers. There is nothing we can do to prevent scams like this, but we can prevent this from happening to us by not easily trusting what people offer from Telegram or DM and always checking first before trying a gambling platform.

That's their target actually, the greedy ones. Those who are in bad need of money or those who had enough on their losing streak. They are weak and can easily be manipulated since they are not thinking straight anymore. All they want is to have that one chance to win and then these guys will come out offering something that is so good to be true. Sadly, there are people/gamblers who are still biting this kind of scheme.

Telegram is filled with this kind of people and recently I also found out that Discord is also infected with the same kind of scheme. I thought I will never have a PM in Discord from an unknown dude but as I checked it today there are tons of PMs now offering the same shit.
We should assume they are everywhere now. When you join one group, they are there, when you accept one unknown friend, it becomes a chain and then there's no ending it unless you create a new account.

Fake loans are the scariest because most of the time, the fraud department would probably ignore it because fake loans tend to be not that big and the victims don't really know what to do when they become the victims of this fake loans. The others you've mentioned, a competent team of accountants and fraud investigators would be enough to quash these operations. Another one that you should mention which would've been my choice as the most dangerous is probably the stealing of the identity entirely to commit more heinous crimes besides the obvious financial crimes.

Many victims can fall for this because of their reaching out method. They do it gradually and invest enough time to convince their victims. A lot of inexperienced online gamblers would lose money and ID cards to these people. They don't do any review check on the site, know if it's registered or licensed, their location whether offshore or not. Although, these people invest more time and dedication in finding victims, they still get tired if no one falls for them. That's why people should remain updated and smart ahead of these scammers. If not they'll still stick around and come with new technique that's not quite different from their previous moves. These KYCs are being sold to the wrong hands, but the owners of the ID or documents don't get penalize if the buyers use for illicit things. However, the disturbance or being called by the police is also stressful. Because the police or law enforcement agency are aware of the ongoing sales of leaked documents flooding all over the internet. They carryout background checks and will find that the victim is innocent and may have left their persornal information on the wrong hands. The problem still lies on the fact these victims at the cost of looking of quick profits will definitely be scammed. The available of review sites, is to reduce scam, yet their activities flourish because people don't use them or don't know about the existence of such sites.

Agreed! The monetary loss will in many cases be the least of their worries if they fall for both parts of the scam. And as you pointed out, its social engineering and for it to be profitable, they only need very few victims. (the same reason the scam emails kept circling around about nigerin princes etc, it didnt stop because it worked)
The false KYC can be damaging in so many ways, fake loans, making a fake company, tax fraud etc. All things potentially way more damaging than the money lost.

Not really a new trick but given that it's not used by a lot of crypto scammers, it seems new to many. This is just one of the many ways that a social engineering scam looks like, people are emotional and the scammers know that with enough sympathy, you will let your guard down and that you're going to listen to what they're asking. Gladly I wasn't contacted by any of these scammers yet, I'm not scared too much about the losing money part, what scares me is the KYC part because they're going to steal your identity and you have no way of knowing what they're going to do with the stolen identity from their false KYC.

The 30% commission you will give is already a big sign that it's a scam. It's okay if it's their money that will be used, but if it's yours, how can you be assured that their tricks will work? If not, then you could lose everything. Since the site they are referring to is probably owned within their circle, it will be easy for them to manipulate it. They might give you a chance to win and withdraw your funds, but the moment you decide to gamble a significant amount of money, that's when they'll trigger the scam.

Another rule is never play in a cryptocurrency casino that isn't verified as safe to play by the trusted people of the forum, especially campaign managers because they are incentivized to be honest.

People might find it laughable because I'm in a casino's signature campaign, but having a signature campaign is an encouraging indicator that a casino is safer compared to those casinos that are in Telegram.

It's true that criminals are getting creative and can see opportunities to scam people. We should be more careful if we see an offer that looks too good to be true. Don't just join and deposit money if that's the requirement, but look for as much information as possible until you understand it. It does take time but at least it will prevent you from falling into the criminal's trap and you won't lose your money. We do not have to respond to those who make such offers. We can report them to the person in charge so that other people know about them and can also avoid them.

This kind of strategy is a very obvious scam. First, why would you deposit in a certain casino without checking its reputation first? I mean, maybe gamblers who receive these messages are both greedy and gullible as they easily get victimized by scammers. Anyone can say, 'Hey, make a deposit and you will win easily. I'll tell you how to do it, but give me 30% when you win.' The question is, what if you lose?

Anyway, thanks for sharing this, OP. Newbies may be victimized, but those who aren't new to the gambling world, this trick would not work on them.

So, if you fall for a scam like this, you are not the victim ...you are a criminal that are scammed. If you buy a fake "Rolex" at a cheap price, then you are scamming the company that are making the original watch.... or if you buy a real "Rolex" from a shady street corner... then you are probably buying a stolen watch. (Someone might have lost their lives for that watch in a armed robbery)

Let's not beat around the bush.... if you doing that, then you should be scammed... no matter if you are thinking that you are stealing from a casino. 

I remember that there was a post on the forum Blackhatworld, where a guy was explaining how to get more gambling affiliate commissions by promoting such fake "casino exploit" on Telegram. The method was basically the same, but the guy was asking various gamblers to signup to a casino by using his affiliate link and make a deposit. This wasn't a direct scam, but rather a misleading and blackhat way to make money.
I guess that somebody "upgraded" this method by adding fake casino webpages, where the users can "deposit" coins.
That's why I don't trust anyone, who contacts me on social media about gambling/investment offers.

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.

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.

I've also been getting a few of them, but I never respond to any of their contacts since I always enable a specific setting on my account where I only receive messages from people I know and those in my friend list.

I would've said the same thing to others, but that's how some people are, even if they know a thing or two about scams. They sometimes lose common sense and don't think properly when they're close to getting what they desperately need.

I've been sent countless messages on my telegram as well, though I immediately move these guys into spam and just avoid reading their message nor replying to them. It helps make them feel deterred on what they want to do which is something that we want to happen. If you continuously ignore their efforts to reach out and connect, they'll eventually stop and think that you're not a valid target and that they are better off targeting other people.

People, just ignore those who send you a PM giving you too good to be true offers. They don't like it when they get ignored, but they'll stop after a couple of messages.

I confess that I have been hearing about this type of scam for some time, even here on the forum there have been many times when new casinos appeared and the representatives made few posts and after some people deposited money in the casino, the casino disappeared. This type of scam is the most common, when the scammer does not have the money to run a subscription campaign, or realizes that the thread he created on this forum is not bringing in customers or that the link he placed on the review sites is not working. bringing customers, then the scammer becomes desperate because the casino's operational costs don't stop and there are no customers for him to steal, so he starts sending spam on the telegram and discord channels

Sometimes they even send emails to many people and offer high sign-up bonuses and place minimum values of $5000 as a bonus eligibility condition, for example the scammer says: "deposit $5000 and receive a 500% bonus". In the past this would attract many people, but nowadays many people already know that bonuses have high wagering requirements and therefore are not worth it, which is why people prefer to stay in old and reliable casinos that give VIP account bonuses that in In my opinion, they are the best bonus. Anyway, I always tell people to be very careful with new casinos

It doesn't make any sense for people to deposit a lot of money in a new casino that created an account less than 3 or 6 months ago, because people don't just put in $100 or less money and test the casino for a while, and that's if they do a lot of research first. before creating an account. But what I see is that people seem to have some kind of attraction to new casinos and use more than 10 casinos, that's something I don't understand, why does someone need to have an account at many casinos? I don't understand

You just quoted one of my favorite quotes of all time. Since I learnt that quote, I have lived by it and it has guided me to avoid plenty of scam attempts by scammers. I hope plenty of people do because if they did, we'll have less and less successful scams. And focus efforts on least obvious attacks like actual hacks.


Believe it or not, there are still plenty of people that will line up to risk this and eventually lose money. Most people have insane greed in them and these kind of scammers look to exploit such greed. I have had some contact me before on telegram earlier this year about knowing an exploit to win games in a casino but I simply just blocked him/her.

The reality is that, if it's too good to be true, Its not true. If the scammer knew a way to exploit the casino, I'm sure they won't give out that privileged info but exploit it themselves.

Is there anyone dumb enough to fall for this (Okay your friend counts, but still)? It's like sending money to a random bank account number that you typed by slamming your head into your keyboard. It's not even a scam, it's just them asking "Yo you got some money, can you give it here since you gamble it all anyway" kind of thing. If I were to describe it, well, it's relatively close to how a phishing link works, just that it's more specific.

Find your own casinos people. This is why I don't accept messages from unknown accounts. They're more likely to be scams than not.

Unfortunately I could see many naïve gamblers falling for this as "an exploit" to win more than the house is a gamblers wet dream. Of course it seems a little more legitimate when they ask for a percentage as well.

However, this is classic phishing. If you are so naïve to even respond to a stranger on telegram who is sending you a link that requires you to deposit or register details, you should spend less time gambling and more on threat prevention.

would you mind sharing the names of the accounts who contacted you from those three platforms? I am not saying that you are lying or anything, I just think it will be good for the community to know what are the usernames of the accounts who contacted you.

people with common sense will realize that this is clearly a scam attempt. those who will fall for it are either greedy or a moron, or both(no offense to your friend).

if they show screenshots like this, you should report it directly to the gambling site.

Lol....this isn't even creative in anyway.... It's actually been a long time I realized this scam format and I don't think I can fall for something as cheap as this... It happened to someone very close to me - but fortunately, I was able to identify the scam early enough...
It's not a technical move as you may think - I can guarantee that no casino would do such a favour to it's customers.

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.

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.

in short, don't entertain strangers offering too-good-to-be true promos or deals. also, if it is unsolicited PMs, doubt their motive. most of the time, these fraudsters are lurking around and checking who will take their bait.
and also, if someone sent you a PM in any of the social media channel. just ignore it if he is offering any kind of service. they are not scared to screw people because they are operating anonymously. so no one can chase them.

Never leave your common sense behind when you're gambling, that's the general rule.

You're at a very disappointed state and some shady man in black robe approaches you, this isn't DND and you're not getting any form of power from following him, at best you're going to get looted. So it's always best to stay vigilant and not let your greed take over your mental. Once you let it take you down, you're done for.

If it's too good to be true, it most likely is, a casino exploit? Given for free by someone you barely know over the internet? That's just a great example of that! Keep your wits about you and don't gamble belligerently, don't be stupid.

People are really falling for such a lame attempt?

That's ridiculous.

I won't say they are getting creative, it's just stick to the book and let the greed overtakes the mind. Because how can you even start trust someone with a random website used to say its a casino?

If they tried to create an exact replica of an existing reputed casino and make you to deposit your money there then it's called creative but here they are just pointing you to deposit a random website they used to work and and you are falling for it that's why its dump thing to do.

Money never comes easy and if someone says so then ask them why they're not the richest person on the planet.

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.

Exactly.

We're aware of many of their scam ways but there will always be the beginners that are not yet aware of such will be targeted by them. And sadly, they're likely to fall for it easily.

It is an old one for sure and like all the other scams, it keeps on coming back.

While many of us are quite educated here about these scams, theres still so many that are not and they will fall victim at some point. All it takes is a small lapse in judgement and some disctraction/weaker state of mind and its so easy to make a bad decision. Ive been scammed before and im sure i will be in the future aswell, best to take it as a learning experience.

We don't need to worry too much because we already know their method of deceiving people. After all, they always offer attractive offers that people are tempted to try to take them. Perhaps the case is that the @Coin_trader case will still appear, where they will target people who often display their big wins on their social media while saying that they have very attractive offers.

Those who already know must remain careful because they might approach us and offer a different offer than before. The important thing is that if we don't know them and there is such an offer, we can immediately avoid it. Don't try to talk to them because they can invite you without you knowing. So be careful.

This scam can easily be avoided if we do DYOR or do our own research and we are not very eager to make easy money, you will just feed these scammers if you entertain them and answer all their questions, I watched one documentary where scammers by asking questions and the answers they got they will know if they can easily lead you to their trap, they are persistent believe me, they are trained to do this and this is their work online.

There are so many scams on the internet and they are all deceiving you into believing that there's easy money and they are doing it, when someone talks to you about easy money don't think twice about hitting the block button, you can do a lot of things other than just entertaining these scammers.

I've read something like that and IIRC that was also here. Just don't entertain random people that offer you almost guaranteed money and too good to be true offers.
They are strangers that are just roaming around trying to look for their victims and just don't make yourself as a victim of theirs.
Thank you OP for giving that pointers as there could be newbie gamblers here that might not be aware of this sketchy scheme.

If you get deals from an unknown person, then this is the first sign that you may get scammed. If the deal is so lucrative that you feel that it is easy money for you, then there are more chances that you will get scammed.

For sure, if anyone asks you to give us money so he can gamble and share profits, we will refuse instantly but gamblers always come up with new ways to scam us. This is a more advanced technique where the scammer has his own gambling site and whatever we deposit on that site actually becomes the property of the scammer.

Now the big question is how can we save ourselves from these scams.
The first is that we should not be greedy. This way, we can avoid many of such scammers attempt offering us easy money.

This is an old scheme but scammers are still using this method, three or four years ago when this method was exposed but many are still not aware of this the rule of the thump is never trust people who are friendly to you and tell you about bugs or exploits because if the exploit is true they will not share it to anyone and continue to exploit those bugs, it pays not to be too friendly especially on telegram I found out that these people are faking their profile they even call you and use a female voice which is a software so you'll fall to their scheme, schemes like this always comes out from time to time, because there are always willing victims.

You’re right. Strangers offering you some instant opportunities are indeed too good be true. Note that people will never give us an edge if they can’t take advantage on us first. That’s why they need our funds first so they can fulfill their promises as well. And if you are greedy enough, you will surely bite this kind of offer and easily believe that you will really get rich. And when you fall on their trap, that’s when you realized that you were taken advantage and get scammed.

This point is my red flag to identify scammers.  When they offer lucrative deals that are too profitable to resist.  Believe me, nobody will inform you if there is a genuine loophole in a casino to win easily. They will secretly use it because telling more persons will compromise or expose the illegal means.

Doing a quick research on the casino will reveal the intention of these scammers. The website is usually cloned or an unknown casino. Social media platforms are the breeding ground for scammers and some of the information that emanates from them is fake, therefore we should always verify them.

Many scam gambling sites is still doing different schemes that misleads people unto something that's isn't reliable particular with their winning promises. Unfortunately when they got into trouble with their account, their withdrawal couldn't be successful. Most cases resulted to closure of the site and no support is available to cater different concerns, because it involves huge amount of funds took by scammers who initiated the root cause of the problem as planned.

I never trust the words of people I just met on Telegram, if you're involved in Cryptocurrency telegram is such a bad place to meet people you do not know their true intention they sweet talk you and entice you by showing proof of their payout, we have so many threads on scam accusations by schemes of people on telegram and also one of my parameters is their offer if its good to be true, its an alarm that you are a prospect of scammers so don't twice to hit the block button.

Moderate your greed no one will give you free money or a huge bonus on telegram there is no Santa Claus on telegram and if the method is hood they will never share it with people they just met, common sense is important when dealing with people on telegram.

This is why we should only play in a reputable casino that we already know and not new casinos, because most times it is the new casinos that these scammers uses to scam people, since it was developed for that purpose. It is a pity that greedy people will always fall for this scammers because they fail to think about free things or high profit offers, because they are after the getting rich quick.

This strategy probably existed long before you found out. I mean scammers just recycle their old method and use it on different platforms. It could be online casinos today and then some exchanges on the next few months. The problem is people become gullible because of their ignorance and greed so the cycle just continues.

This is a common scammers formula and it very clear and easy to detect their scheme,  why should you trust anyone through pm,  most especially in cases where they contact you first?

This is a clear case of scam that should be easily detected unless for the greedy ones who may want to try out their luck in such manner,  but thank goodness ops is warning us beforehand and we should take caution with offers that come through pms.

"Crooks are getting creative."  So true.
But this is the first time I have heard about something like this. Directing gamblers to their gambling site so they can scam them there. For me, it's kind of difficult to make victims out of it because of trust issues but I guess the promise of 30% profits will be their ace to make it more attractive. Wise, but still I think gamblers will be doubtful especially those who first look at security.

Another story that I've heard is targeting those VIP ranks in a known gambling site. He told his story about an e-mail that he received after he just won something big and shared some of it through tips and some trivia with prizes. The content of the mail is about receiving a bonus and he was shocked because he already received the bonus for that month as a VIP. Luckily, he shared it in chat and a mod told him to check first on where the link would lead him without clicking it. There he found out that it was a hack/scam attempt that he avoided.

Truly, they are getting better at this and we must be aware of any possible scenario by sharing our own experiences or from others.

I want to add:


Even if the scammers themselves offer you money, you should not deal with them. Not many people understand the entire algorithm, so they may fall for this more “advanced” scheme. As has already been written, free cheese can only be found in a mousetrap (and only for the second mouse), so never try to make money where you do not understand the whole topic.

I believe only those newbie that doesn’t have enough casino experience or users that doesn’t know forum to deteemine trusted casino is the only possible victim on this scheme since you will think twice on depositing money on an unknown casino if you are regular player of trusted casino no matter how good the offer is.

But there’s really potential victim on this scheme since many newbie still being attracted on bonus and sure money rewards despite uncertainty on casino reputation. Sadly, we can’t educate everyone on how to deal with scam.

Victims are likely in a hurry to make money thinking the offer might not last or given to someone else. Scammers are often going to make you decide fast.

Always suspect them to be a scam when an offer is too good to be true especially if they are the ones who approached you the first. This kind of scam was known before, but they still can find people to fall for it so they still keep doing it.

Funny how there's always a someone fallen to classic scam, there's no free lunch.

If someone can win easily through their exploit skill and they currently don't have any money, they can take a loan from banks and make a lot money from it, then payback the loan + interest. No one will give you a way to win or become rich if they can do that by themselves.

On some casinos, you will have to gamble with the money you deposited before you can be able to withdraw, but if you win, the scammers can be smarter and withdraw before the victim will think of withdrawing.

There are some casinos that you will be able to withdraw all your money after you have deposited even without gambling. I guess the scammer will let people to deposit on casinos that the scammer will be able to withdraw the money even without using the money for gambling.

This scam is easy to avoid, but some people are greedy and thinking they have something good coming, not know they have been dealing with scammers.

general rule: if it seems too good to be true, it probably isn't.

Unfortunately these scams continue to run because people believe that it is easy to get rich at the expense of others and they think that there are actually people on the internet who want to provide you with opportunities to get rich.

this discussion/warning, although it is connected to the gambling sector, I believe it should be included on scam accusations board.

I saw a thread made by @Coin_trader and i thought id share a scam i have seen popping up again aswell. This has happened 4 times in the last 2 weeks, so im guessing the same group/individual is at it again.

What it looks like:

A account will contact you on one of the social platforms or apps. (For me it has happened on Twitter, Telegram and Discord). The account will often have a tag or something related to the casino they "represent" and act as a dissapointed employee/mod.

They will approach you and say something like this: Hey, i have seen you on gambling telegram or in a casinos chat room and i have a deal for you. They offer you an "exploit" that would allow you to win easily but they want 30% in return. They often offer screenshots etc of admin panel and so on.

They then give you a link to a casino and ask you to deposit there. BUT in reality, they control the casino and once you deposit, the money is theirs. And you have been scammed.

This happened to a friend of mine aswell a few weeks ago, and he fell for it (small loss luckily). As he went to withdraw, they asked for his KYC aswell. So not only can you loose all your money, they get your ID aswell.

In short, be careful out there. Crooks are getting creative.
