Title: Crypto Scammers Target Would-Be Bitcoin SV Miners
Post by: Lmaooo on December 11, 2018, 10:39:11 AM
One of the oldest tactics for scammers on the web is to register a domain with a very similar spelling to an official site, make it look exactly the same, and proceed to scam people intending to use the real site. This is why some crypto exchanges like Binance have a reminder on their login page to “always check the URL bar” in the browser because especially in cryptocurrency, these tactics can create powerful, irreversible harm.

This happened over the weekend for one of the larger Bitcoin SV pools, SVPool.com, which sent an urgent e-mail to everyone signed up on their platform informing them of the scam. According to the e-mail, the poser site uses the .co extension and, after signing up, users are encouraged to spend crypto to buy alleged Bitcoin SV hashing power.
