Title: Be careful of Bitcoins giveaways that are too good to be true
Post by: alphaboon on September 27, 2019, 12:59:10 AM
Hi, recently I went to a website https://www.crypto-way .ltd (I add a space in ltd so that you won't click on this accidentally.  It offers 2X of the amount of money you send in.   I find it too suspicious and did a check on the domain name.  It was only registered a few days ago.   The British company they are suppose to be does not exist and they are hosting in a russian hosting company, making it impossible for me to contact them to feedback to them.  If anyone can speak Russian and do the feedback, that would be great as it keeps another scum away from our Bitcoin environment.

I can't believe that people fall in those scams. Have you ever seen in real life someone tell you "Transfer me some money in my bank account. I will transfer you back 2x."

Why would someone do this?
People are insane with bitcoin...

Bitcoin is not a tool to make people get rich quick. It is just a currency. It works as a currency.

This is a doubler program which became popular in 2017 and yes this is just another  cheap scam appealing to the greed nature of anyone especially those who are just new in the world of cryptocurrency. Scammers are always creative but many times they just recycled programs and maybe just use another name for it to make it appear new when in fact they are not. I always feel pity with the newbies who can fall victims for this scheme.

Those giveaways need us to deposit some amount, right? If yes, then that will be the same as what I got in the past. I got those experience in 2014-2015, and I never forget that site was tricked me, and I think many people have been tricked too. For now, I always try to be careful and not easily attract to the bitcoin giveaways website because I know that will not be impossible. There is no free lunch for every people, and we need to work to get the money. And if you find a similar website, you can skip the site and never come to the site again. Be careful when you browse because you never thought about what will happen to you later.

giveaway is when you don't do anything but receive something for free as some sort of "gift". when you have to pay, then it is no longer a giveaway, it is more like an investment and in this case since there is no company or product or anything it is a Ponzi scheme. you didn't really have to check the domain, etc to figure it out either, it is just that obvious.

Thanks for the information OP,  I'm aware of someone(personally/real life) who fell for this sort of scam recently, this individual is not really into the bitcoin network, but came across this sort of interesting offer online and decided to make some money, but did the exact opposite, I actually got to know after he had already been duped.

He was greedy, and that's the first desire to avoid if one is to avoid falling for scams, be it related to cryptocurrency or other areas of life. We should also be knowledgeable on the system, there is no way your bitcoin can double that way, if it did, why would people hodl for years just to make profits, they should have simply sent it to doublers and made twice their money. A knowledgeable person cannot believe such nonsense.

It's such an old story and I can't beleive there are still people who fall for this, it's obviously a scam.
There is no such thing as giveaway but I guess that people's greed will always be stringer than common sense. There is no such thing as free lunch, don't forget that.

At the initial stage of introduction of BTC to the world, it was completely unfamiliar and unbelievable thing which can be hold and transact electronically only. So many users got trapped by false advertising and marketing. Giveaways are one of them.

Many tech guys with tricky knowledge can grab confidential data from the user to get access to digital assets of users, and due to anonymity and lack of trackability people lost their hard-earned money.

So my opinion is kindly safe while entering in such airdrops and giveaways.

For example, Many individuals try to grab private keys by offering giveaways for stacked balance. In such scenarios, users are asked to submit their wallet details and authorize them to get rewards against hold balance. And in many cases due to greed, people get trapped.

Ponzi schemes like this, also known in that area as things like HYIP. i.e. the old "talkgold" forum (which closed down a couple years back), had been operating running these types of scams since way back in like 2004 or so. The only people that ever made money from them were those that got in and out right when they opened. Some actually would last for months but in the end, they would all collapse, reinvent themselves with a new name and site, and run the scam over and over again. I see those sorts of programs are still all over the place and have shifted to include crypto.

Speaking of scams and bitcoin giveaways, I recently stumbled this post in the Beginners & Help

{Warning}: Fake Bakkt Giveway website (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5187901.0)

The length those criminals will do just to victimised unsuspecting people in the crypto verse. Just imagine couple of days from bakkt launch, those scammers are impersonating and trying to lure everyone in their game.

That's why each and everyone of us should stay away from this so called giveaways because 90% of them are really scam.

True, but people don't understand it. Lack of awareness or knowledge leads people to bad decisions and poor choices, simply because everyone is desperate for money, and nobody knows what they are doing. I mean, if the Nigerian prince scam continues to work to this day, why wouldn't new, uneducated crypto users fall for a scam involving coins?

I never knew about this website and I tried to learn it. They offer good payouts, but I still don't believe it.

After I read this topic will certainly be more cautious. Many people have used signatures and are trying to promote them.

Maybe this is a scam and I'm actually already interested to try. But with this topic, I personally do not believe and if one day it is evident that many people can produce Bitcoin. Maybe I'll try it.

Greed makes one fall for such offers. I am admin of a telegram channel and I have seen people reporting that some spammer contacted with the admins fake profile and asked for funds. Spammers keep finding new ways for their earnings.

My advise is if you are getting funds without investing then share address and try for it(but, do not share personal details or private key). When you are asked to send funds or are asked to stake something before getting do not trust that. It is better to loss an opportunity than to loss your funds.

Several years ago it was so popular that there was plenty of sites offering can doubled people funds within 24 hours and most of them are scam because when people make a decission to deposit then they were lied and people lost their money and i thought these kind of sites were disappears but a little surprised they still exist until now however basically this is not giveaway because if those are giveaways and people should get the money for free without making a deposit

These kind of schemes are widespread for years now. We called these type of things as HYIP, or high yield inviestment program but later on these projects can no longer suffice to pay their clients and will run your money. Majority of HYIP's are scams and some even are offering double your money in one hour, its like a race, first come first serve and the last group to enter will be the victims while the first batch will be used to entice more victims to join.

In the bitcoin industry many scam projects have sprouted and thus there are also many websites that monitors and checks if those sites are scams or to good to be true.

It was a known scam scheme, these new websites should be avoided by every newbie that isn't aware of this scam. Don't believe if someone tells you that by simply sending a specific amount to their address will give you a return of doubling your money.

The website is also new so aside from that scam scheme, the creation date is suspicious.

Domain:crypto-way.ltd
Registrar:Name.com, Inc.
Registered On:2019-09-25
Expires On:2020-09-25

It's just registered for a year so it's obviously they are going to use it for scamming newbies who are unaware of this scam.

it can be called a HYIP (high yield investment program) or Ponzi scheme. where the money distributed to investors is the result of other investors' deposits ... and if no more investors send money, then they can take your money with you

That's the dumbest scheme ever, some people treat these as gambling games but should definitely never do that. It's just a group of people stealing money and that's it. I don't understand how people could fall for it.

people who fall on this scamming tactic are only those that are ignorant fools who dont know any better! thinking about getting more money? but wait theres more... cmmon guys, this is an old rotten strategy already!
and yet these scammers can get their victims easily. or maybe we dont have to call them as victims, but plain dumb idiots who dont know the real world!
if somebody encounters that kind of too-good-to-be-true offer, ignore and dont look back! you cant be rich that quick as what you dream of!

Only newbies and greedy investors would fall for this. I remember when I first started in crypto there are bitcoin doubler investment schemes, and during that time it is really rampant and many people fall for it. Keep in mind any investment that is too good to be true and offers a great return in a short span of time is a scam. Be cautious when investing, and make sure to do a background check and review before investing.

I don't get people who eats this kind of scam, I don't really get it, It is very obvious when something is good to be true that is 90% or a total scam. This reflects the greediness of people behind the cryptocurrency, they always expect a great return in no time, you're right they want to get rich quick not knowing what they are stepping into. Its 2019, don't fall with this ponzi schemes.

Way back then, there's many people who seen this investment currency as a scam projects because of this many doubler and ponzi/hyip businesses.
They portray bad images since many newbies wanted a quick profits they fall from this scheme, like what you have mentioned those easy to earn offers
are very dangerous and too good to be true, you need to research and be very careful there's lots of opportunities if you sort the right ways.

Most of the people who are taking this kind of bait are useless, that they don't want to dedicate some hard work to earn money instead they want an easy money all the time, and they are the ones who are the regular customer of this wicked plan. Creating a website that looks like those real ones are very common these days, or you could call it a phising site, or any ways or scamming people. Asking money and they will return it 2x is already fishy but it's not for those who are blinded by earning big money.

afterwards, they will rant about these stuffs that they've been scammed and so on, and it is funny because it is their own fault yet they are blaming cryptocurrency for that.

Well, you are right that is a bitcoin doubler, not giveaways. Once you deposited amount of bitcoin that they will promise you a good return of your investment, yes they had but only 2-3 payouts and suddenly lose your fund. I would prefer you to stay away on this kind of Ponzi scheme hype group. They are cancer in crypto space and give a shit in the image of bitcoin. And right, no one gives bitcoin for free so stay away from them.

Yeah, exactly. That's what I thought and this is what got me interested in the topic. I wanted to know whether there are elaborate scam schemes when you don't transfer money to anyone. When you are asked to give some money, it's obvious it's a scam. But when it's like an Airdrop, can it still be dangerous? Well, some people don't like it that when they mention their Ethereum address, they get "spammed" with shitcoins they never wanted to have, but at least in this scenario you don't lose money. There can also be sophisticated scam strategies. For instance, when to receive some money you are asked to install a plug-in/make a specific update which is actually malware (I've seen such a thing before).

always use a simple rule: if something is too good - then it is probably no good at all
and its sad that there are people who don't know what a scam bitcoin doublers are
they belong to the lowest form of rubbish sites along with ponzi , "investment" HYIPs , ICO  projects and Justin Bieber's fan pages
Romans used to say : qui bono? or who profits? , if any site is offering something to you , then they must get something in return
if there is no legit business model in sight , then all they want from you is to exchange your money for their fairy tales and ability to host a scam website

That's what I also don't understand... How could people fell for the Nigerian scam systems today? It has already proven/documented/written/etc... that these kind of stories are always scam...
But people just don't learn from the other people's mistakes, they only learn about losing their own money... and after they blame everyone but themselves...
So unless people learn how to handle their greed with rationalism and learning about things they want to spend their money for, these scams will be here to stay...

You are a newbie so maybe you were surprised to see this new site offer 2x gain. We daily come across such multiplier sites which you you double your investments in few hours to few days time. All of them are ways to scam people. Some new sites might double your bitcoin to gain some confidence to attract more investors and then they scam big in the end.

The scene is definitely ripe with scams, I have been ripped off a few times in my early days here in the community, I'm over it know though, but I've sent 1 whole Ethereum to an IOST telegram bot and never got it back except for fake IOST.
    Ethereum was around $180 or so at the time. The best thing to do is to charge it the game and move on. A hard lesson learned, now I try to remember to practice my Due Diligence these days.

Probably the pool fund is enough for them to run because when I was visiting the site I just found out that it seems broken and can't access the website. We should have research first before investing and spending our valuable bitcoin and think it twice before having a transaction and placed an investment. No one gives us now a free bitcoin. Probably there is but I think 1k sats is enough. Even faucet probably the highest amount they give is 500 sats. Bitcoin doubler or a Ponzi scheme is prone to scamming it is better to stay away and move on.

That indeed sounds very stupid. They think we will believe in such a way, but it is undeniable that there are many types of people in this world who are very easy to believe in something or are newbies who are tempted by its benefits. and not realistic. no way people give you free money if they are asking you for a money.

I'm glad I didn't fall for this kind of trap before thanks to my friend who knows more about of a ponzi scheme. And now I can tell that I learned a lot from him. People should learn from the mistakes of the other people, it will save them some time for the hassle.

And as the title say, people should be very careful about their money and never invest it to a too good to be true offer.

That is good to know that you bring a head up here, upon searching the site it is totally shut down. They abandoned already and running the investors money and this is not a giveaway. "HYIP Ponzi scheme group", no one fool at this if you are old here in the forum. Most likely their victims are those greedy people and those innocent people/a newbie in this crypto space. I remember this before when I also a newbie, who's familiar with Aurora Mining investment? They are the same process of scamming.

Agree to this, That is obviously a scam, just think because in the first place that is not an giveaway, there's a legit giveaway you can see just like faucet, (not recommended waste of time) you don't need to send any amount of money, that is what you can call a giveaway. That is just basically a scam and not a giveaway so please be careful next time.

So there will always be those who'll fall victim to scams offering to double your investments in a fixed amount of time. I'd say i've been duped a couple of times before also. It's money. Sometimes logic gets thrown out the window for a chance at quick easy money.

Bitcoin is not a tool to make people get rich quick. It is just a currency. It works as a currency.
Agree to this, That is obviously a scam, just think because in the first place that is not an giveaway, there's a legit giveaway you can see just like faucet, (not recommended waste of time) you don't need to send any amount of money, that is what you can call a giveaway. That is just basically a scam and not a giveaway so please be careful next time.

doing a faucet cant be consider as a giveaway becauss you need to do some task like solving captchas and in return they give you free sats . you are also visiting a faucet site full of ads and they earn with your visits . same as on airdrops or on bounties , they did not claim that they are give away because a real giveaway is when someone give you free money without asking for return .   

gambling is a kind of money doubler. you can deposit x amount and play with x2 payout , if you win you can instantly double your money but of course there is a big risk of loosing. like what we have on other hyip/ponzi investment schemes.

Thank you for sharing and not making the link clickable there are so many of such website out there with 100% profit on your investment with 3 hours - 24 hours.
A similar game is someone approaching you on telegram and said his country has banned cryptos and he has 5 btc in his wallet and you should help him to make the withdrawal for some percentage of the money.

Hi, recently I went to a website https://www.crypto-way .ltd (I add a space in ltd so that you won't click on this accidentally.  It offers 2X of the amount of money you send in.   I find it too suspicious and did a check on the domain name.  It was only registered a few days ago.   The British company they are suppose to be does not exist and they are hosting in a russian hosting company, making it impossible for me to contact them to feedback to them.  If anyone can speak Russian and do the feedback, that would be great as it keeps another scum away from our Bitcoin environment.

Are you new in crypto space? This bitcoin doubler scam is one of the oldest and most famous scam in crypto space. They usually pay people for first few days and then when they reach break-even and made enough profit, they close the site and run away with people's money. Never fall for them, no matter they are registered or even run by President of USA.

Haha, right! Nowadays even 2-3 days are long for these scamming sites. In my early days, I also used to fall for them. Actually my problem was I didn't know what Bitcoin is back then. So I used to buy Bitcoin from my Paypal account assuming it is some kind of investment tokens that can only be used to invest in these doubling sites and then invest Bitcoins in those sites. I lost around 0.02 BTC before realizing that Bitcoin is actually much more than that, lol.

This is the perfect time to use the phrase "same shit, different smell".

I wonder if someone set up this scam, where the payment option was in Paypal, or via your credit card, and it went as "Send us 1,000 dollars, we'll send you back 10,000 dollars in an hour".

People are really stupid when it comes to cryptocurrencies, this and ICO's are a prime example of how the media and public opinion of cryptocurrencies is that it is just a get rich option.

Crowdfunding was nothing new, but how come ICO's raised millions, and scammed millions? Same shit, different smell.

This view needs to be changed.

If you want to participate in any crypto giveaways please note that you are not sharing the personal information or your private address kind of things. I have noticed many schemes not allowing the participants without such info.
If there is any giveaway from this forum by most earned people like Yahoo, Theymos and Loyce means we can share the info also guys. ;)

I have heard very often when people say: Lend me some money to play poker, I'll win and pay you back 2x. But as a result, they always lose and they blame luck, but the most curious thing here is that they always win with last few bucks (as they state).
Problem is wish of easy money, no one wants work, are lazy for that so when someone offers such proposal, it's very hard for super lazy person to deny it or even think whether it's scam or not, they hear what they wish and then try their best to believe themselves that it is truth and it can't be scam.
I think it's seriously mental problem that people really fall in such scams.

This forum has a zero tolerance for any HYIP related issues It was advisable to stay away from them giveaway of 2X bitcoin is a ploy towards scamming gullible investors believed me a lot of people will foolishly fall for this and later regret their actions because in a long run the scheme can never be sustained based on past experience, HYIP promoters are negatively tagged in this forum I implored you to find a better alternative investment to avoid touching stories at the end of the day.

For me, I think aside from someone who is greedy and fail to learn anything in his sojourn in the crypto would fall for this kind of scam. However, a newbie could because at the time, it seems it the best thing to happen and a quick way to make the best returns on investment. It then become more convincing when there is a positive on the internet forgetting that reviews can be bought and concocted. They then put somedays for your investment to mature and the number of days is usually in longest days. Eventually, you learn your lessons that nothing is free money after all.

Welll the website that you accessed offers bitcoin doubling service, a type of ponzi scheme that promises to double the amount of bitcoins that you sent in the in said amount of time you should stay away from these kind of site because some of this services pay at first but in the long term when the site has too many clients and their money hasn't enough to pay them they will run away so, don't try depositing bitcoin in any amount to these site it likely they will run away with your money.

I never seen that these guys have made a giveaway event as far as I know, could you enlighten me with a proof? Yahoo is manager bounty campaign/signature campaign (which paid in btc) which is mean you have to give an effort when you participated. And Theymos, I don't ever seen that he has made a bounty or giveaway on this forum as well as with Loyce (although I have seen he/she has created an offer to be a campaign manager).

OP, I just give suggestion to stay away to the service, it is not guarantee and even you will end up with scam. There are some people who fall to this way and most of them just regreted it. And remember, there is no an easy way to earn something especially related to money, you have to put out your effort to reach everything and there is no an easy way. It will be good if you have money/capital then you have learn some ways such as trading or investing, I think it is good for you rather then you find some giveaway event.

I visited the website just now, and I can't access it anymore I would like to tell you that the moment you read that they offers 2k  gain of the money you send in , probably it is a scam. There is no such thing that is true that will offer 100%  or more than percent in a small span of time and also it is too good to be true.

Not only online, people scam by giving people offer to double their money in real life too.
I know people in my country who come up with such business and innocent people deposit local currency with them with the hope to get it double.
Online scamming is easier because the scammer identity remains hidden.
We should avoid any such mouth watering  offers and stop being greedy.

You don't have to think or analyze to come up with the conclusion that the site is a Ponzi Scheme and the chances of you losing your money is very high, no stable project will give you 100%, we are in an investing environment, we know that if we proceed investing here we are greedy and ignorant to take a bite on it, everything in the site are all manipulated, they manipulated the deposit and withdrawal stat to make it appear real.

Though if being lucky and come as an early bird you'll be able to have some pinched of their profits. You need to be wise not to risk your investment, think of every ground and every possibilities of getting scammed. From that point you will be able to conclude not to waste your time and money.

Luck is too small with such kind of business, it's more on hype and the system itself will harm your invested money. Stay away from this type of risk, instead find those real kind of investment, like trading with solid project.

Its really possible that you can make out some money if you do able to get in early with these ponzi's but the risk is much more higher than on the possible profitability or depending on when you do able to get out on the right time or else you would lose up on the money that you had invested in.

I had checked out the site which do guarantee 100% profits which we do generally know that no investment will able to give out these kind of profits on short time and come to think even traditional fiat banks do offer 1-2% max annually with our own money.lol

I am sure people can search for more news to find scams or to know if that is a scam or not. But yes, people already get many experiences related to the fraud itself, and that makes them careful to choose the investment from the projects. They will invest in the project after they can get so much information related to the project, so they don't get another scam. Besides that, they have a good lesson on how to avoid the scam, and they will tell their experience to other people too.

That is some of the problems some people are facing,  they are lazy in doing thorough research about what they wanna, no matter the experience a greedy fellow had experience he will still want to invest in a ponzi scheme thinking that he's gonna hit it big

Moreso there are some projects that looks good to be true, they will have good website,  team,  and at the end of the day they end up being a scam project,

This is very similar to the website (I just forgot the name) that I have tried before. Its like a survey program and they will give you certain task to receive some dollars paid via paypal account or you could choose Bitcoin as a payment. But, of course there's a certain minimum limit for withdrawal, and what surprised me is that, they ask for a deposit before you can proceed to withdraw your earned money/btc from finishing the tasks.
These kind of scam wont really work for me, I wont gonna fall for this tricks.  Technically, why would a website ask you to deposit when you're about to withdraw, I see no relevance for such actions. And another thing is, giveaways doesnt ask something from you because basically its a "giveaway".

You are good at doing an investigation and you have done the right thing, but even if the domain is a year or five years old and they offer two times profit from your investment, don't go for it, it just feed your greed, there is no such thing as two times profit you know that even a bank cannot offer you that kind of profit, even a government cannot do that, they are just scamming you with empty promises.

I never try joined any giveaways asking KYC and other information that can expose our identity on cyber world since most provably they will use it for there own benefits and the one I joined is those airdrop which gives me a decent profit without doing nothing but make sure you provide only the wallet address and didn't send anything since if they ask any payments then they are 100% scam.

That's two different incidents from this two sides of bounties. You can research and check teams who are working behind and see it by yourself if they are serious and they can proceed and succeed. too much promises most of the time will only turned into failed outcome.

With sending personal information after the bounty or giveaways who ask for KYC is also not a good sign so make sure to protect your data.

This kind of offer should be over for now or not existing anymore, because in the Crypto world we should all be educated on what kind of investment program are we going to invest, if they tell you that you will get two times profit without explanation how they are going to do that, it's easy to tell that it's a Ponzi scheme and they just want to get your money and sweet talk you to giver in.

They will invest in the project after they can get so much information related to the project, so they don't get another scam. Besides that, they have a good lesson on how to avoid the scam, and they will tell their experience to other people too.
That is some of the problems some people are facing,  they are lazy in doing thorough research about what they wanna, no matter the experience a greedy fellow had experience he will still want to invest in a ponzi scheme thinking that he's gonna hit it big

Moreso there are some projects that looks good to be true, they will have good website,  team,  and at the end of the day they end up being a scam project,  

No need a long time to see he will lose all the money he has because once we invest in a Ponzi scheme, it's only a matter of time our money will disappear. The good website and teams don't guarantee it will succeed in a long time because that will depends on how good they work for their projects. And if that is related to Ponzi, then we will see how long they can online and take the people's money.

I have seen that before, and I also have a bad experience with Ponzi. But then, I realize that I need to stop and search for real things that can help me to make money.

in terms of the website alone is suspicious. Be careful with investments like that, if you have funds to invest, I recommend investing in a trusted project, such as IEO.

You should be more careful with the project. Try to understand first, where the funds go and for what. maybe it's a ponzi scheme, it usually still pays if it's in small amounts, but if you try to withdraw large amounts it won't work.

my friend fell victim to the ponzi scheme -_-

Hi, recently I went to a website https://www.crypto-way .ltd (I add a space in ltd so that you won't click on this accidentally.  It offers 2X of the amount of money you send in.   I find it too suspicious and did a check on the domain name.  It was only registered a few days ago.   The British company they are suppose to be does not exist and they are hosting in a russian hosting company, making it impossible for me to contact them to feedback to them.  If anyone can speak Russian and do the feedback, that would be great as it keeps another scum away from our Bitcoin environment.

You do not have to ask if the site is legit, a site that just launches recently and offering 2 times of the money you sent in, is a clear sign that the site is a scam one, not even a stable company online and offline or even Facebook can give you a guaranty profit of two times the amount you send, people are wise now after Bitconnect, better open a scam report in scam section.

Not only on Bitconnect situation but in all ponzis and scams back in the past where offering too good to be true returns on a short period of time.No investment online will give out that returns so with that thing alone we can already conclude that these kind of sites are fraud.Better to invest those money on buying solely with Bitcoin and other top alts which is more worthy than considering on sites that do offer good returns.Dont make such step that would end up for you to regret.
