Received a dm in Discord saying I won some bitcoin. Website says you have to deposit bitcoin before you can withdraw your prize. Obvious scam. https://i.imgur.com/ZTZTn8v.jpg https://i.imgur.com/H3mZTEn.jpg

I also received this message. The linked bitcoin talk thread seemed a little light along with the user's other posts which are scattered over a few years. The topic was closed after a few heavily redacted replies. The linked website looked a little phishy (that icon...) so I went on over to good ol coinmarketcap and scrolled down to bithumb because I am slightly dyslexic and that kind of crap probably works more than it should. After finding that bitshumb is not listed on coinmarketcap I found this post here. No idea which discord I am in that I got this from. Probably the same one where all the different bots keep messaging me with pictures of girls in bikinis with half their rib cage photoshoped out and a bunch of sketchy looking links.  :-\

It's very important to archive their threads because the scammers can always alter them later to avoid getting caught.

So through PM, Khalidxpert claimed that he does not remember posting in such a thread. I think i have seen such a scenario before. I replied him, and I am wait for his response before i decide on what to do with the tag i left him.

Nobody is targeting anybody. We simply tag and flag scammers whenever we spot one.
Your profile is the one that announced the scam scheme as you can see in the archived post so it makes the flag justifiable
