Title: Dont fall for this Mercatox 0.1 BTC PromoCode-Scam-BS ! Just saying...
Post by: MistaL33 on July 19, 2019, 12:42:13 PM
This is just a hint/warning!

If you got a message on discord from the Mee6 bot with an announcement that you´ve won 0.1 BTC on Mercatox, and you can claim and withdraw it via a PromoCode, dont fall for this bullshit!
This is an old fake-exchange-scammer-story and they try to convince you to deposit a specific amount first, before you can withdraw your winnings.
Especially newbies, dont let the greed disable your brain... :-D

Always do your own research and be sceptical!
Happy weekend, peeps. Cheers

If anyone ask for prior opposite then obviously it's an scam attempt.
When something is too good to be truth then it is a misdirection.

Asking for deposit before withdrawing is very old trick but I still see people are losing their money caught up with this trick. I hope someday there will be enough awareness.

Just received one from a Mee6 Mercatox bot. So I'm assuming after depositing 0.02 BTC am never going to be able to withdraw 0.12BTC?

They have a thread for it here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5166436 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5166436)
That thread is archived so you can't post on it. That is even more suspicious, why lock a thread almost instantly?

I was notified of winning some BTC, I'm not going to fall for any deposit to withdraw scam. You know what, I'll glady pay from my winnings.
