Title: Your-BTC.co.uk - Scam scheme
Post by: btcfaucet on March 27, 2019, 07:11:10 PM
Just putting it out there so Google can find it, too.

Your-BTC.co.uk is apparently a fake copy of the once functioning bittradex.net site, modified to claim that you need to deposit 0.02 BTC to verify your withdrawal address (I know, right?).

This is how the scammer approaches you:

<Mari_>: my ex owe me money, and he said that my money is on the exchanger, but i cant withdraw it, i dont know how to, there is $3900, i can give you 30%, if you can withdraw it

The rest of the scamlog is at: http://btcfaucet.com/logs/your-btc.txt (http://btcfaucet.com/logs/your-btc.txt)

I thought the scam attempts of the supposed Nigerian emails were the biggest scam jokes I've ever seen, but today you showed me that I still had not seen everything... no offense, but why the hell would she look for you when have this on the site:

and why did not you tell her to contact the website support? Anyway, this story made me laugh, even though it was a scam case.

I have experienced such fake exchange withdrawal requests many times from unknown users on telegram. They always have some same first sentence like.

Hello, I got some XX amount of fund on an exchange and can you help me in withdrawing those. I would give you a XX% as an reward out of it.

This is most probably a scam attempt and I just go with blocking the ID and reporting it as a spam mostly.


But yaa thats a pretty stupid trick to scam anyone, excited to know how much do the Spammer earn from this trick. I would guess not much.
