Title: Re: DONT FALL FOR THIS SCAM Post by: JakenBake on July 19, 2018, 05:24:40 PM That's a slick scheme right there. Much more creative and technical than the give ETH for ETH that we see so much on Twitter. The old saying if its too good to be true it probably is comes to mind. Better off to just ignore the side noise and keep grinding out until you hit it that way.
Title: Re: DONT FALL FOR THIS SCAM Post by: akunta on July 19, 2018, 05:37:42 PM Recently, i had met a guy on discord, he seemed like a chill guy, until i learned that he was a scammer, i didnt really care much since he didnt try to scam me, well until he tried to scam me haha you know sometimes it seems to me that it can't be an acciden that the words scam and scum are soo close in sounds ;D take care next time"668a369e87c01da5bfca9851e6ee86d760e17ee7912d77b7dffe8e0cdf63bcb5" This is the msg he sent me one day, said it was an ethereum private key he "found" in his "old" hard disk Me, being curious checked it out on myetherwallet theres less than a cent worth of eth in it, so i shrug it off, but then i copy the address and check it on etherscan, it has more than 120k$ worth of tokens on it, never heard of the token before, but the price is posted by etherscan so cant be fake. i try to transfer some eth into it to get fees to transfer the tokens to my wallet, when i realise there are a suspicious amount of comments on that address, i check out and it turns out its a scam, he has a bot on that account transferring all dust that gets sent to that address to his main account (btw tokens are locked so you cant get em even if your fast enough) i freak out and send myself another transaction to cancel the previous one... thankfully i used low fees so it hadnt been confirmed yet ::) He had also multiple times tried to get me into scamming so i already disliked him for that, and since i completely hate him now- Crypto Lord#5440 thats his discord id please dox him if you can :D Title: Re: DONT FALL FOR THIS SCAM Post by: sergeykravcov177 on July 19, 2018, 05:51:50 PM thanks for the article and that warned! now there are a lot of mossins in the crypto market! The crypto market is very young, and there are a lot of newcomers here who do not understand anything! they are deceived! even if we look at the emergence of new projects, this year more than 3000 projects closed and deceived their investors!
Title: Re: DONT FALL FOR THIS SCAM Post by: siekeheros on July 19, 2018, 06:00:22 PM Thank you for the warning, sweet scam as mentioned. Good that someone calls these people out like this, so you might be warned beforehand. Hopefully google runs its robots on pages like this! :D
Title: Re: DONT FALL FOR THIS SCAM Post by: IrinaPro94 on July 19, 2018, 06:09:38 PM Yes, those people who came up with such schemes are very smart, especially when this Ethereum goes further to the wallets, but when we say that it is bad and tried to cheat, we are not better than takak we want to get these tokens.
Title: Re: DONT FALL FOR THIS SCAM Post by: Awesomus Maximus on July 19, 2018, 06:17:53 PM i try to transfer some eth into it to get fees to transfer the tokens to my wallet, when i realise there are a suspicious amount of comments on that address, i check out and it turns out its a scam, So it was a trap. But, why would you want to transfer those tokens to your wallet in the first place? They didn't belong to you. Even if you found a private key with a huge amount of Ethererum, they are not yours to claim. Title: Re: DONT FALL FOR THIS SCAM Post by: solarion on July 19, 2018, 06:22:33 PM Yes, those people who came up with such schemes are very smart, especially when this Ethereum goes further to the wallets, but when we say that it is bad and tried to cheat, we are not better than takak we want to get these tokens. Many scam projects here and there in the forum and elsewhere. You need to analyse the original team members on the website, WP contents and authentic partners. If you find all these things good you will be find the big profit on bounty earning or investing to it. However thanks to show the shit project here in light. It may helpful and make aware of it. Title: Re: DONT FALL FOR THIS SCAM Post by: berrygood on July 19, 2018, 06:38:37 PM There are lots of scammers in groups, I personally use offline computer and my online computer has nothing to do with my keys, address etc.
Title: Re: DONT FALL FOR THIS SCAM Post by: Nagibator007 on July 19, 2018, 06:40:26 PM Scam on Sammo actually a lot, even saw when the guys did social networks, Facebook and Twitter advertising, the forum sent a report,and then they were banned for the type, the fact that the project was a Scam, and they advertised it, even such things are

Someone showed his private keys to you and you check it out and saw some tokens and you tried to send the person token to your own wallet? Why do you want to steal someone tokens? To be honest, the both of you are scammer, If you are a good person, you won't have wanted to steal his tokens. People should learn how to be honest. #My opinion Title: Re: DONT FALL FOR THIS SCAM Post by: shadowtree on July 19, 2018, 06:55:43 PM I see scammers are getting quite creative, I may have fell for that myself as well if I didn't read this post.
Title: Re: DONT FALL FOR THIS SCAM Post by: acedia on July 19, 2018, 06:56:56 PM does anyone else believe in free cheese in a mousetrap? ;D many cases of fraud and deception. Stop believing in freebies

I would never check other accounts in the first place, as that means you tried to steal somebody's coins/tokens, I am disappointed to hear that, trying to transfer coins/tokens in to your wallet, that's not right! That means you have tried to scam somebody too and you deserve to be scammed, as that would give you a good lesson!!
Title: Re: DONT FALL FOR THIS SCAM Post by: zininaks on July 19, 2018, 07:19:13 PM Thanks for the warning. In the crypto community, something like a virtual arms race is happening - scammers are finding more and more sophisticated ways to take away users of their cryptocurrency.
Title: Re: DONT FALL FOR THIS SCAM Post by: nostrings on July 19, 2018, 07:24:18 PM Thanks for the warning. In the crypto community, something like a virtual arms race is happening - scammers are finding more and more sophisticated ways to take away users of their cryptocurrency. ya this goes for computer security in general, the hackers and security experts are always one uping each other. Title: Re: DONT FALL FOR THIS SCAM Post by: ivanleon on July 19, 2018, 08:06:27 PM Few honest people now, and it turns out that anyone could get caught on this bait. A new way to cheat, didn't know it was possible at all.
Title: Re: DONT FALL FOR THIS SCAM Post by: camport on July 19, 2018, 08:09:42 PM So you got scammed for trying to steal? Right. Sounds fair enough to me. Your own greed lost you that eth. Sounds like a Robin Hood scenario to me
Title: Re: DONT FALL FOR THIS SCAM Post by: o_e_l_e_o on July 19, 2018, 08:12:08 PM You are upset because you tried to steal someone else's coins and were outsmarted by him? You are just as much at fault as the person you are blaming. If you hadn't been a greedy thief you would have lost nothing. Your own fault.
Title: Re: DONT FALL FOR THIS SCAM Post by: Macinto$h on July 19, 2018, 08:14:28 PM You all need to remember one very simple but always relevant rule - free cheese is only in a mousetrap. When someone offers you something for free - ask yourself a question - why he needs it. And if an obvious simple answer does not occur to you - you can be sure - with someone who is high in probability, someone wants to deceive you, but you do not know yet how.
Title: Re: DONT FALL FOR THIS SCAM Post by: soooulliv77 on July 19, 2018, 08:18:49 PM Thank you for the information. Usually I don't communicate with strangers at all and don't read their messages, but I will still be careful.
Title: Re: DONT FALL FOR THIS SCAM Post by: 2fresh on July 19, 2018, 08:22:00 PM Recently, i had met a guy on discord, he seemed like a chill guy, until i learned that he was a scammer, i didnt really care much since he didnt try to scam me, well until he tried to scam me "668a369e87c01da5bfca9851e6ee86d760e17ee7912d77b7dffe8e0cdf63bcb5" This is the msg he sent me one day, said it was an ethereum private key he "found" in his "old" hard disk Me, being curious checked it out on myetherwallet theres less than a cent worth of eth in it, so i shrug it off, but then i copy the address and check it on etherscan, it has more than 120k$ worth of tokens on it, never heard of the token before, but the price is posted by etherscan so cant be fake. i try to transfer some eth into it to get fees to transfer the tokens to my wallet, when i realise there are a suspicious amount of comments on that address, i check out and it turns out its a scam, he has a bot on that account transferring all dust that gets sent to that address to his main account (btw tokens are locked so you cant get em even if your fast enough) i freak out and send myself another transaction to cancel the previous one... thankfully i used low fees so it hadnt been confirmed yet ::) He had also multiple times tried to get me into scamming so i already disliked him for that, and since i completely hate him now- Crypto Lord#5440 thats his discord id please dox him if you can :D So when you transferred eth to the address, whose coins did you think you were going to steal? Title: Re: DONT FALL FOR THIS SCAM Post by: 13ex07 on July 19, 2018, 08:23:36 PM If you are offered for free or very inexpensive, something of value - most likely you want to be deceived. "Free cheese only in a mousetrap" Follow this rule and you will not be deceived.
Title: Re: DONT FALL FOR THIS SCAM Post by: Lacoste on July 19, 2018, 08:25:45 PM Lazy guys always want to rest and make money by scamming.
Hope that none of us is seduced by him. Haha! Title: Re: DONT FALL FOR THIS SCAM Post by: Papcio77 on July 19, 2018, 08:31:34 PM Beware, its been a long when that kind of modus come out anywhere. Wish no one got hack or fool by those evil person so lazy and just only trying to take advantage in other person. Each of as are want to earn but why there are people who choose to try evil things to get money.
Just keep safe guys Title: Re: DONT FALL FOR THIS SCAM Post by: gabbie2010 on July 19, 2018, 08:35:47 PM This is another subtle ways those scammers and hackers used to steal from people's wallet, I thank you for bringing this to the notice of the members of this forum, fraudsters are on the prowl these days, we have to be extraordinary careful not fall for the pranks used by these scammers.
Title: Re: DONT FALL FOR THIS SCAM Post by: bastian466 on July 19, 2018, 08:40:46 PM it is a very clever scam by provoking the prey to see the contents of the wallet that surely all who see it want to take it when it is a trap
Title: Re: DONT FALL FOR THIS SCAM Post by: deepblue01 on July 19, 2018, 08:43:21 PM i don't think that the person who gave you the private key own that address.
he may get from others and he wants to challenge you, if you can steal that tokens. well, i think you don't know what scam means You are upset because you tried to steal someone else's coins and were outsmarted by him? You are just as much at fault as the person you are blaming. If you hadn't been a greedy thief you would have lost nothing. Your own fault. yeah, i agree. Title: Re: DONT FALL FOR THIS SCAM Post by: mbah on July 19, 2018, 08:44:55 PM the need to be vigilant. many tricks that start to appear and certainly has a goal that is not good. Crypto is indeed a broad field and produce. but the risks and deceptions in crypto are everywhere. so this is a challenge that should at least be bypassed.
Title: Re: DONT FALL FOR THIS SCAM Post by: Quidat on July 19, 2018, 08:53:33 PM You are upset because you tried to steal someone else's coins and were outsmarted by him? You are just as much at fault as the person you are blaming. If you hadn't been a greedy thief you would have lost nothing. Your own fault. Its funny, but actually youre right. The OP are with no difference than the other guy who tried to scam him. Lesson learned, never ever try to lay a hand of something you dont own. In the first place, if the OP didnt touch anything, he will never face such risks. But there's also a good side of what he has done, atleast the OP discovered a new way of scam which has a very unexpected scamming procedure. Neverthless, this will also help the people in the community to be aware to such a new modus. Title: Re: DONT FALL FOR THIS SCAM Post by: dhemasm on July 19, 2018, 08:53:48 PM Hahaha seems more you are pranked than a scammed. I've also tried it but I'm different from you, I found some private keys posted on spreadsheet bounty then i try to send some eth for fee and finally, my eth is automatically sent to the primary address. But like in some previous post it's fair enough because you try steal tokens that are not yours hahaha. Cheers!
Title: Re: DONT FALL FOR THIS SCAM Post by: Noobaru on July 19, 2018, 08:56:45 PM Glad to hear that you got out of it safely. Tthere is a saying that goes by "There is no free lunch.", so someone offering you their assets in the form of crypto falls right into that category. My suggestion to all should be to stay away and don't engage in chats on Telegram, Discord, Slack and alike. It's 99.9% chance if not 100% that they are scammers.
Title: Re: DONT FALL FOR THIS SCAM Post by: prechi on July 19, 2018, 09:18:39 PM I've seen something like this before. I was lucky to quickly realize it's a scam and so I had to inform the people around me. So many tactics right there... the tech behind it is something else. Smart scam. I just hope no one fall big for it.
Title: Re: DONT FALL FOR THIS SCAM Post by: matico on July 20, 2018, 10:41:17 AM How can you reasonably accept $170k as a gift from anonymous friend on discord? Most time people that get scammed actually deserves it. They try to reap from where they do not sow! Cryptocurrency is secure untill you begin to get yourself expose to danger! I hope you've learnt your lesson!
Title: Re: DONT FALL FOR THIS SCAM Post by: HashFace on July 20, 2018, 10:50:49 AM I've known about this scam for a while, people used to run it with Omni tokens, IIRC. I kind of like this scam... as pointed out above, it only hurts people trying to steal those tokens.
Since you got the private key, anyone could write a scrypt that constantly monitors that account and tries to steal his dust before he can, and even those token when they become unlocked. Title: Re: DONT FALL FOR THIS SCAM Post by: xenomorphe1 on July 20, 2018, 11:06:27 AM Thanks for your post! It should be in the scam section. Scammers are really good for creating new method for scamming. Don't fall in their traps. Something too good to be truth can't be trusted.
Title: Re: DONT FALL FOR THIS SCAM Post by: BogdanGFTP on July 20, 2018, 11:11:21 AM Very interesting story. It shows that we should not believe in opportunities that are very good to be true. For not fair people it is a nice scheme to trick others.
Title: Re: DONT FALL FOR THIS SCAM Post by: Bitknick on July 20, 2018, 11:23:11 AM Well that warned about this situation, thank you very much!
Title: Re: DONT FALL FOR THIS SCAM Post by: krassy on July 20, 2018, 11:29:09 AM Absolutely no one can be trusted, it seems all around and want to steal your money in any way, how then to trust people and communicate?!
Title: Re: DONT FALL FOR THIS SCAM Post by: DeeCryptt on July 20, 2018, 11:37:17 AM First, am always happy when scam methods are exposed. It helps others who are vulnerable to be on their toes. But then to the main point here, this story doesn't quite match up. First someone sends you 'an' old etherium private key he 'found'. So the keys may or may not be his, he sent it to you and you thought to transfer tokens out of this wallet that is neither yours and probably neither his?? At this point, I don't know who is scamming who.
But thanks anyway for revealing these methods so we all can have our eyes open. Title: Re: DONT FALL FOR THIS SCAM Post by: rockybar on July 20, 2018, 11:40:13 AM thank you for sharing this experience to us, its always be an big lessons that dont trust anybody who ever it is, especially people you don't know very well. scammers are just waiting some good opportunity to attacks. people that are attract with an easy income is very prone to be scammed or they can easily trick you and steals what you have. because as you can see why that person try to give you something without any return, always be vigilant mate of what you are doing.
Title: Re: DONT FALL FOR THIS SCAM Post by: maxreish on July 22, 2018, 12:53:00 AM We will consider this as a warning sign. Also, i will avoid that username in discord group. How sad, this guy is actually an expert to scam others using that trick in cryptocurrency. Anyhow, we can still prevent those if we tend to avoid pretentious nice and chill guy like him.
Title: Re: DONT FALL FOR THIS SCAM Post by: kier010 on July 22, 2018, 01:17:10 AM scammers today are smart and more creative just to scam others. if you are not careful you will become a victim. you can only blame your self if you are not careful.
Title: Re: DONT FALL FOR THIS SCAM Post by: Maximo1 on July 22, 2018, 01:22:55 AM Lesson here is don't trust anybody online. Who the hell will give you gift even if you don't know that person. If somebody gives you something or tell you that you will earn 10X your investment, that is 100% scam. Never trust anybody online.
Title: Re: DONT FALL FOR THIS SCAM Post by: JohnWick_Bitcoin on July 22, 2018, 01:40:52 AM Well that warned about this situation, thank you very much! There are a lot of scamming issues coming from ico's right now as well as bounty manager and that is the reason you should always check the current tokens platform before investing or working on their bounty campaign. Title: Re: DONT FALL FOR THIS SCAM Post by: 1Nebonad1golovoy1 on July 23, 2018, 01:46:03 PM now a lot of Benches on the market, not to get caught on the Bench need to read a lot, analyze all their actions, constantly monitor everything,if you do not do that then there is a very good chance to get on the Bench, it's not who does not want to read a lot and communicate with people who understand
Title: Re: DONT FALL FOR THIS SCAM Post by: Opnsrc on July 24, 2018, 10:10:07 AM So obvious that this guy is a scammer. Do you really think that someone can buy some tokens, store them in a wallet and totally forget about it? And never check token’s price, and don’t even bother to keep his private keys somewhere in more safe and accessible place, not on an old hard disk. And give the keys to a stranger he met in the web, without checking his wallet beforehand. You must be such a trusting and open hearted person to believe in everything that guy told you.
