Title: Scam Alert, new type of HYIP! Cryptslots.com STAY AWAY AT ALL COST!!!
Post by: condoras on November 14, 2019, 06:19:06 PM
Hello to all.

I make a deposit of ~X$  at https://cryptslots.com/ after a mesage that i get from a guy.
He told me that this site have small crowd/ gamblers and i will have a lot of chances to be a winner but they have a limit deposit of 650$. I agree to try it out so i deposit around ~700$ with 2 transactions.

In fact after some bets i win as the guy told me and my balance gets to 3000$ and I deside to withdraw them.
Then i see that they have a condition/ rule, through a pop-up window: "If you want to withdraw, make a deposit of at least 650$ in any of the currencies".
(Besides BTC they "support" DASH, LTC, BCH, ETH and some other.)

I ask their support (they have an in-site support system, so they can close it and do whatever they want) that i make the minimum deposit and they tell me that have to be in 1 transaction. So i make the mistake to believe them and make the deposit. Then i try to withdraw but i couldnt and i get a message that i was banned!!!

I contact again their support and they told me about a breach in their system (?) so all accounts where blocked from withdrawing their balances, until they fix it.
Then they contact me and tell me to create a new account with new mail and IP and they will credit my balance after i contact them. So i did.
Indeed the credit my balance from the previous account and i try to withdraw. Fail once again!!! The reason? I didn't make any deposit for their rule!
Support told me that since their system is automatically, i need to make a new deposit because they can't bypassed manualy. For the 3rd time i fall in their trap.

From that time their site suddenly lost from my screen and i can't reach it, no matter what! I manage though to see it and recreate another account, just to talk with their support. After my 3 first messages, they block me and left me out again! So i'm more than sure that this "site" is a SCAM site!

Their Twitter symbol in their site, goes to @Crypto Twitt, as  it seems total scam account. The address that they use, at least for my deposits is 3DcKDMFTUoWiiEvDtDbeLEUQDeJWWuP1sT which it seems that they use it and on others like myself.

I don't know what else i can do, the least i can do is to warn all of you. Any questions or suggestions are welcome.
Btw i know i'm an idiot because i fall in to this. My mistake was that my personal health problems effect my judgement and want the money.
Now and my problems remain (lol) and i get robbed/ scammed. Beware people, beware...

Wow, I can only imagine how bad you feel. Did they contact you through Telegram? Until recently, they only had those lame security deposit scams, but seems they've stepped up their game. General rule of thumb: NEVER EVER trust anyone in Cryptoland, especially if they contacted you without your consent.
I sometimes manage to talk to the guys regularly trying to scam me, because I'm always keen to get some insights on what they do. Usually, it's poor guys who use their last bit of money to buy an address list from HYIP forums. They get these addresses from scam airdrops which sell our data. Then, they buy the website, along with instructions on how they can scam others and they start going through their list of Telegram handles.

What helped me, so far, is: click their Telegram profile and check if they have any common chat rooms with you. Seems they're too stupid to at least join a few big, common crypto rooms, so it's at least believable that they found your handle in one of those rooms.
Background is: how should they even find you to start a private message with you when there's no common room between you and him? So, if there's no common room, you can be 100% sure that this is someone trying to scam you.

Recently, I'm also getting PMs with HYIP offers. Just stay away.

Hope this loss wasn't too much for you, btw. :)

sorry for what happened to you, mate..  You can not regret what has happened, you should just let go of your loss so that your personal health is not getting worse.  btw, thank you for sharing your experience, I personally made your experience a lesson to be more careful.

You are correct in more than one points. Yes "they" contact me through TG, no i didn't see through his profile any connection with me.
I figure that was not a reason not to hear what this "guy" wants from me. Besides because of my lending service, i get many PM's and DM's and all the kind of M's... ::)

The bottom line is that after the scam, they delete their profile and puff... away!
I will follow though your advises as i always do when it comes from friends, be certain.

As for the amount of my loss, i believe than any amount of crypto loss is big. :'(

This is exactly what i try to do, to leave it behind and move on. I'm dissapointed though with myself because i'm not a newbie and i act like one. I should be more focus and see the signs of this scam...

That's the point buddy, to share our experiences with all the other members here so to all learn from our mistakes and failures. Ofc and our successes, whenever that happens. :)

Thank you for your words and thoughs, BTCe safe.

Fuck, sorry to hear. I just documented my own tale of being scammed... unfortunately it is also fresh. Glad to see you did the right thing in bringing it to light so others don't fall into the same trap.

Best thing to do, including the disappointment. It helps in not making the same mistake again.

The problem is that no matter how many times we write our bad experiences, scammers will come with something else.
Why? Because there is nothing to bring them down. They can get away every time they do their scheme.

Maybe a tracker in a transaction or a bug-"back money"... :P

Well one can only hope that it at least helps a few people avoid making the same mistakes. I love that you can at least joke about it as well. Could you imagine the amount of scams the "back-money" bug would create. We could call it something like PayPal, that's kind of catchy  ;)

You fell in their trap thrice. What else they need. Such scams sites are running becasue of the innocent users like you. You should have realized in the first time that the site which asks for more deposit in order to withdraw is a scam. If any user get scam by such tactics, it seems logical but when a bitcointalk reader fall for these scams it really hurts becasue every now and then we hear such stories and again people repeat the same mistakes.
