Title: Let's try to stop bad people, one try can safe someone
Post by: Greatchu on March 25, 2020, 09:32:47 AM
This might sound stupid but I think giving a try can make a difference, Scammers have good and attractive websites, they have real but fake documents to show to people so they can easily fall victim, they lie and use WHO and others to get people's attention and now that what we need the most is a cure for the virus, mY God its a big weakness for those who don't know, what are you all doing to stop this?

They are always showing the fake partnership that they didn't even created it. I have seen so many scammers have been claimed to be partnered with the big exchange sites. WHO is such a fake partnership that already used by that crap scammer to fool the newbies and it's good to see if he was asking the community about this.

Looks like this doesn't sound silly friend, because the scammers weren't born from doctors or medical staff, so they obviously don't know about drugs to replace the corona virus that is viral at the moment, but lately there are still some scammers who make coins with the name corona, this is something that should look ridiculous.

What are we doing to stop this?
Is it like something that could be stopped so easily?
You will need to search the whole world wide web to do it. As if anyone could do it.

All we can do is help each other. We see one we share it and then the others could do the same hopefully.
Here in this forum I trust everyone have that kind of share. I can see people who are doing it. Report them and try to bring it down as much as possible in just a little of time.

You mean people asking for donations to help with the current problems in societies? Well, I never really liked donating money online without  enough strong proofs.
I believe donations like that would work well on well decentralized, transparent, safe, Blockchain/decentralized network.
Better to just go directly to people in need and help-out or donate. Or we could use a very transparent, honest, safe organizations/people with no evil agenda and send them our donations.

Now it’s better not to do anything. Look for opportunities to make money without investing. Now is not a stable time, and there are 10 times more scammers at such times than in ordinary times. during the panic, people are very defenseless

Scamer always has a way to do whatever they want, including by donating organizations to the community that is happening right now and what they are protecting is WHO as a legitimate organization even though it is not just a trick from scamer alone.
We have to do it right on target of many of the donated donations to help with this and I think we need to also research available and safe donation sites.

a good effort, even if it seems simple, can help people, never hesitate to do good, even if it is a little.
we will never know the impact this has on others.
and also always stay away from negative people like that.

They use fake pictures of people that we don't even know. And some scammers don't even know how to make a good website that's why you can distinguish a project through their website. If it's not made properly, your curiosity about the website will turn into a real thing because their website isn't even made seriously.
Do not fall with any of them.

Actually we have to help each other by sharing information. Including when you or someone else realizes a scammer, can share information on this forum. So that friends in this forum can also get information or help do the analysis that the WEB is fake. Although the scammer has a clever way. But what they do will definitely be caught.

I've done quite a bit of work about a month ago but I didn't have much time to continue. However, reading again through my older threads, I think I'm going to start another research on the forum to bust some scammers or spammers. Here is some of the work I've done:

  • Might've discovered one of the largest scam & spam here yet. Staff, take action? (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5225130.msg53820720#msg53820720)
  • 36 spammers, one person. Is this kind of affiliate spam allowed on the forum? (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5223536.msg53780684#msg53780684)
  • Paytradex Scam v2.0: FAKE Ethereum Giveaway! (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5222292.msg53748512#msg53748512)

It's pretty fun to do this and the positivity coming from some of the best members of the forum makes the work even more fun. :D By the way, this is my first day as a Hero Member and most of the merit comes from my earlier work! So thanks to all the members who helped me out :)

As a concern member here. Users can post or even create topics giving awareness to mass community here about their style. Yes its not easy to bust them all cause they are worked like the same with the professionals. We cant stop them bare hands, but we can help narrow down their identity slowly by giving up some details like the fake one theyve used. If only associated emails or number, and even linked account can be known then this is an easy pie and all of them will be caught.

I don't think there is anything we can do presently to stop these scammers in the cryptocurrency space, and that is because of the welcoming and unregulated nature of the market. Anybody can come up with a scam project that looks too real and people would fall for it. I think all these would stop when we have good regulations.
right, government regulation is needed to prevent fraud projects, so it is included in the criminal register. unlike today, due to the absence of legal regulations governing, fraudsters move freely to collect money quickly, so detrimental to investors. therefore we as investors are required to be able to analyze well, so as not to get caught up in fraudulent projects

This is no silly or stupid idea, you are only trying to help crypto newbies out there, the only way this can work is not just set the warning on here but on other social media channels like Facebook and Twitter, I'm been seeing fake CV-19 coins on social media and not all others will know it's fake

I am not disputing your facts, but scammers always have a terrible one page, erratically designed website.
They also always have complicating and hard to achieve contents in their whitepaper.

The whitepaper is made to be enticing, so that you will forgive the irregularities in their websites.
If you look closer, you will realize this.

Always dyor.

Actually you are right but stopping scammers might be a herculean task which might even be unrealistic because they keep coming up with many strategies and utilizing every opportunity to scam people. They are using this virus as a means to scam people because they know the fear which this virus caused everywhere can make people seek easy solution hence a perfect time to defraud innocent people. The only way one can try to help is through asking the important questions, making research and knowing if at all the idea is achievable or not.

What i have understood from your post is that you are tired of scammers that put them as legit NGOs or charities that work for people who are suffering for virus and feed them food and medicines plus provide them shelters, yes it has been a big problem and i think there should be some kind of internet authority that should identify and block such fake websites that claim to be real but are made just to scam innocent people.

I agree with you that if such steps were taken they would be scared to scam And ordinary and innocent people will be saved  They will not lose anything and many will be safe We should stand against these scammers. So that they can use different strategies and not get scammed.

There is a dedicated board in order to post scams and scam accusations.
I always try to make a search there if there is something that can make me realize that a project is a scam.
And apart from that by DYOR you can try to understand if something goes wrong.
