A new round of discord messages are going around telling that you won 0.36 BTC. So if you received such messages, please don't fall for the trap. It you ask you to create an account to:

But once you created an account and enter a certain code that the scammer gave, you will see the 0.36 BTC, of course your first reaction is that it is your lucky day, but be careful, in order for you to withdraw, they will ask you to deposit 0.02 BTC. So obviously, that is the scam part so please don't deposit anything.

That's a good warning to those who didn't know this about the strategy of scammers. They are very intelligent nowadays, they are willing to spend money to have purchased their money in buying the domain name of the site which looks good and convincing to others. Not only discord, but it is also in telegram and other social media which they can direct to contact their next victim.

I also encountered this before in telegram when someone asking a little help to withdraw his BTC in the exchange, he wants me to create an account to transfer the BTC amount he said. But it looks strange why he was trusted me to withdraw his BTC even he doesn't know me. Same as a story of OP said, when I was trying to cash out it requires me to send the amount of BTC and that's the time I proved that it was a scammed attempt and good thing I didn't fall on his trap.

Don't trust any unknown people on social media, you dont know what their purpose when someone contacted you and start having sweet promises between in the conversation. Avoid clickbait links and be vigilant.

Newbies easily fall into this kind of scams. Scammers use telegram to promote such websites. Scammers chat in such a way that they are very innocent, they are actually stuck on that website. But this is actually a drama. Many newbies, even old members, fall into the trap. If anyone gets such an offer, then they should verify that this website is real or not.

I posted a scam like this, few month ago.  [SCAM Alert] Briefcrypt.com offer 0.8 BTC . Beware...... (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5200813.0)

I just added one more of their domains....razerbit

Lately discord has been plague by this kind of scams. I once used Discord but it seems unbearable for me to used specially in the last 2019 because of this.

Thanks again for the warning, this is a classic scam attempts and I do hope that no one will be a victim because members of this community has raised the red flag already.
