This all started with the issue on the MEXC exchange and I had no choice than to look for help on the MEXC telegram group...

What do you mean you had no choice? I haven't used MEXC exchange but I suppose they have a built-in support system. If there is no live chat, perhaps there is a feature for users to create a ticket and inform the platform of certain issues. If both are non-existent, I assume they indicate their official channels in their own site. They probably provide their email or Twitter or Facebook or other official communication lines. So why do you have to go to Telegram and ask for help? Shouldn't we always transact through official channels?

Asking for assistance in a Telegram group is equivalent to putting yourself in the line of sight of scammers to be eaten. When you post a question in a Telegram group, you will immediately start receiving private messages (PMs) from people pretending to be group admins who want to assist you.

Don't assume that the scammer's inability to stay current was a terrible quality about him because he pretended to work for Binance. As for the scammer, he actually has his moves well thought out. He doesn't want to push you into his game plan because doing so can lead you to mistakenly believe that he is a scammer. Instead, he preferred to earn your trust before carrying out his strategy.

Keep in mind that scammers can only be nice on Telegram when their goal is to dupe people. You can't be chatting up a stranger on Telegram without them intending to scam you one day. The question you need to ask yourself is, why would the scanner immediately hurry to block you after learning that you had discovered the truth about him(that he is not a Binance employee) if he loves the friendship in the same manner that you do? This is to let you aware that nobody on the Telegram group should be trusted.

And maybe she's not a she but a he. This type of building up rapport with the potential victim is also becoming common. These scammers/hackers are taking time to get the person's trust that they're conversing. I do also receive these type of messages in different messaging apps. I don't even know how these people are getting my contact but as long as it's on many platforms, there will always those people that will gather data and information of anyone that they can. As soon as someone messages me and asks me about investment for which their scripts are almost identical. I am not wasting my time to talk to them and blocks them as soon as possible. I can't believe that you've spent  your precious time for months talking to that person.

I think the first major red flag was when the help who helped you out, and later wrote you chatting you up about crypto stuff. Why would a person who supposedly is there to answer questions about things you don’t fully understand later chat you up. That’s the red flag there. She wanted to use the fact that she Initially helped you out   Perhaps she was riding on the fact that she would gain your trust after helping you out and then pulling the rug out from under you.
I think this is a very good way of showing how doing your own research helps a lot.

It's good to always stay informed about what's happening around crypto lately, get a crypto news app on your phone or subscribe to crypto news feeds online to stay informed, this person was busted because she knew nothing that's presently happening with the exchange company she claimed she is working for.  
Scammers will be able to only scam people who are not updated, that is scam people who they know more than not people who know more than them. For scammers to scam people who are more updated and know more than regular people, the scam method needs to be more.brilliant and sophisticated and this can only be carried out by the more intelligent scammers.

As a newbie, knowledge gotten by staying updated can save you for common scammers.

Since she once helped me, she planned to use that on me and take advantage of me I guess, this is where I learned that not following what is happening in the crypto space as an investor is wrong.

Nowadays, there are some online scammers who employ very cunning tactics whenever they want to defraud someone. They trick the target into thinking they are completely trustworthy, spend more days and months gaining the target's trust, and as a result, some people are more willing to fall for their scammer. Therefore, if a fraudster has gained someone's trust, they can quickly take advantage of that trust to commit fraud with little to no effort. As a result, people should always be on the lookout online because even longtime friends might turn out to be filthy.


It's good to always stay informed about what's happening around crypto lately, get a crypto news app on your phone or subscribe to crypto news feeds online to stay informed, this person was busted because she knew nothing that's presently happening with the exchange company she claimed she is working for.  

Keeping up with the current news is one of the easiest methods to combat con artists, particularly the most recent tactics they may be employing at any given moment. People who stay current with news are much less likely to become victims of scams. I will therefore concur that it is crucial for everyone to ascertain where they will be obtaining the most recent cryptocurrency-related information.

I don't know why people are calling the person stated by @OP a scammer when in fact the person just blocked @OP from contacting her.  There is no scam attempt done or whatsoever,  aside from that we only assume that the person is not really a Binance employee, what if she really is. And probably there is another reason why that person blocked @OP.

Anyway, I also agree that we should be vigilant and never trust any person we came across online.  We can chat and have a civil discussion but we must not put our guard down.

The truth is that, scammers are the dumbest set of people and in most cases, if you are not covered in greed that becloud your sense of judgment or you are ignorant of the happeninhappeningscryptocurrency market only then the scammers can easily get you.

Scammers are not dumb but they are evil since they aim to take advantage of any person they come across if they found them naive.

But once you can put in a little effort to check on the scheme you will easily point out the red flags when you are having a conversation with a scammer, we have busted a lot of scammers just by having good and adequate information just like in your cases.

I agree, when it is to good to be true then it is possibly a scam.  When someone sends us a malicious link then it is probably a scam, but when people block us and that person never even sends any malicious link then, how can we call them a scam?

scammers a bunch of stupid people who will fool even more stupid people. Then they will get the target easily. Remember that scammers are constantly evolving and have many methods. It's not impossible for you or even other people to fall into their trap. Greed will always be a loophole for scammers to manipulate anyone. Make sure nothing escapes inspection or analysis. Scammers are easy to spot, I often find scammers trying to reach me.

Even though you may feel close enough to trust one another, Telegram should be the last place you put your trust in anyone. I always kept it in the back of my mind that everyone on the app but me was a scammer. Even if my brother messages me on Telegram and I am very certain that he is the one, I will still be hesitant to trust him within the context of the app. I've been scammed multiple times in my early days of cryptocurrency, so I find it hard to believe that I ever trusted someone who told me that sending him money would enable him to purchase a coin I wanted so he can send them to my wallet. LOL i fell for it and sent him money twice. It was a sad experience though.

Her plan is very good and it's a good thing she didn't succeed since the outcome would have been altogether different. Beginners should take note of this tale and remember never to believe anyone claiming he would like to assist them, whether they are found on that app or elsewhere. Scammers should be avoided, and keeping up with cryptocurrency news is a smart idea.

She asked questions about which projects I am currently buying and if I know anything about crypto mining and these brought us good discussions for a while, later she claimed she no longer work for MEXC that she is now a Binance Employee..at first it makes sense because this discussion lasted for months.

I let all this in because she helped, I never let my guide down in any way, I was also waiting for a possible scam habit like referring me to a link, sending me a suspicious link, or a copycat website to steal my fund, I don't trust anyone online.

Fast forward to days ago, I brought up the issue surrounding Binance and SEC, for discussion sake, you know, to learn one or two things, to my own surprise, she knew nothing about that, this was where things aren't looking right, she never knew that Binance got sued.

That's when I started asking questions, and she end up blocking me, I guess we are having those good conversations for months to make me lose my guard, she must be waiting for a perfect time to use me and rob me.

Since she once helped me, she planned to use that on me and take advantage of me I guess, this is where I learned that not following what is happening in the crypto space as an investor is wrong.

You did a great job by not falling for her trap and asking her questions about issues with the Binance. Again, we shouldn't be falling for anyone we meet online who wants to be our friend. I know most people are still good, but nobody can be trusted. Perhaps she assumed you were a newbie into a cryptocurrency you don't use, but it is a good idea that we should be following Crypto news online to avoid all these scammers online.

After all, the biggest contradiction lies within cryptocurrencies: its value lies in the trust of the community, losing trust will cause the currency to collapse. This is nothing more than a postmodern theory: there is no real value, only a narrative of value created by people and together believe it or not - because a cryptocurrency is essentially lines of code. code on the computer.

This is a good catch mate. That is why it is good to be knowledgeable enough to defend yourself in anything you are doing. If it happened that you were the one who had no idea what was happening there's every possibility that she might have had her way to scamming you.

As an investor, one needs have information or be informed of your business line or possibly knowing what is happening around your business empire.
It is a pity that she was claiming to be with binance working for them and had no knowledge of what was happening. You were smart enough to pick her lapses and possibly you could have used it against her if she didn't had run away by blocking you from chatting with her.

As a result of this secret being exposed by OP.  I would advise investor always to always be patient enough to do little research on their investments and unfolding events surrounding them so as to be informed and having information at their disposal do as not to be taken unawares.

She is not smart enough. Most scammers are well-informed about the industry or firm they claim to represent. The internet is filled with wolves in sheep's clothing so everyone should treat the sector like a jungle with all kinds of animals both dangerous and friendly ones. They will be nice at first just to make the target become open and relaxed. They even offer financial assistance which is indirectly a bait to attract victims. I hardly communicate with people on social media because many scammers are seeking for loopholes to execute their plans.

You are correct Member Crypt0Gore, we need to always be current with information concerning the crypto space because it is an important source of knowledge. Being informed will also make us smarter than scammers because we will be already conversant with current security tips.

Maybe she's not a full time scammer since the hardcore one always follow the trends or anything that can get him updated since they mostly exploit the new things on crypto ecosystem. But much better to stop communicating with such person since it cannot being anything good to us and might she is just waiting for easy perfect chance to exploit us on anything she can possibly do. Maybe she's not techy enough but still have capabilities to attack once there's opportunity seen so we still need to be careful even if they are not uodated on something we know.

I don’t think it’s healthy to keep communicating with a someone who has the potential to be a scammer and I wouldn’t recommend anyone to do so. You may think you have solid hold on the situation until you eventually slip without knowing. It’s possible because even though you know the person may not be who they say they are, you still feel some sentiment towards them because they once “helped” you. I believe the conversation would have continued if she had answered your questions. Playing along with scammers is definitely not worth your time, just delete and block.

Prevention is always better than cure because when you give these people some of your precious time, they might gonna lead you to their trap which is they are pretty expert with that and you need to know they have multiple techniques which you don't have any idea about. It's better just to delete their emails whenever you received one or just delete their messages in the telegram because the more you engage in conversations with these scammers, the more prone you are to be fooled to give your money to these guys without even realizing it until it's too late.

Binance problems with sec is not general neither is it global. It is just within the United States and besides some employers do not disclose the challenges of the company it legal or otherwise to their employees. But in your case your chat mate is a scammer.

Then saying that someone should install crypto apps in order to stay updated with information in the cryptocurrency world is not necessary. This kind of apps end up creating FUD in the industry and you panic and lose your funds. I did not subscribe to this news channels neither do I even send them.

If I have important information to know I would create a thread here and I will get the answer needed. Besides I don't think that bitcoin is ending today and there is no FUD against bitcoin and I am a long-time investor who is not interested in day-to-day price. Do I need to poke my nose in those kind of news about the government and Binance and Coinbase?

I don't know if that's how people work on assumptions and accept offers without making confirmations first, to me it's either the person is not being professional enough to have fallen for such trick or maybe a newbie in what she so called her profession, as for being informed on the current updates through social media or news apps, we have to be also careful because there are fake news as well and we have to know the level of being reliable and trust their source.

The issue with Binance and US is complicated, I personally wouldn’t blame anyone who doesn’t have details about it but yes, since she claimed to be a binance staff, it’s normal for she to be aware of the happenings within Binance

Good to know you escaped a scam attempt

If I have a problem with a centralized exchange, the first thing I avoid is publishing it in a public place. I know that telegram and twitter are both places where scammers are always on standby waiting for complaints and can kindly contact you the first time (it beats official support alone).

Fast forward to days ago, I brought up the issue surrounding Binance and SEC, for discussion sake, you know, to learn one or two things, to my own surprise, she knew nothing about that, this was where things aren't looking right, she never knew that Binance got sued.
What the SEC is suing is Binance US, Binance global has nothing to do with this case.

Its good that you never let your guard down, they maybe have help you in the past but they might help you because they have motives in the future, i have the same experience and my friends before where someone pretends to be working in a projects and he knows lots of it, we have decided to invest and let the person manage it, in the start he seems to deliver what is promise, fast forward, he is asking for a bigger investment, which makes us think twice, we have back out and not invested later we heard that he scammed some of the people with the investment and never get anything in return, always be careful who you interact, transact with, when it comes with information you can exchange but always be curiois and alert because, they might be pretending to be someone since, whe never knew who they where, remember even your close friends will tricked you, how much more someone who you never met in your entire life
