Post by: Baofeng on March 27, 2020, 03:51:45 PM
As requested by Royse777, I put up this scam related Covid-19 threads.

Good find and in recent time we are seeing scam related to Covid-19 a lot. May be someone can make a separate thread for Covid-19 scams and list all of them in one place. This will be easier for visitors to scan quickly from one thread.

Well done bud, now it is more neat and if you keep updating the OP whenever find a new one from any user then this will serve as a log for all the topics. Anyone can just scan through and save themselves to be scammed.

Here is another topic about Covid19 and suspicious collecting donation. The topic is already locked but it is extremely doubtful.
Covid-19 DONATION CryptoLocalATM self-moderated? (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5234209)

Here is one more I found recently:
canada-alert-Covid19 malicious website
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5235615.msg54099670#msg54099670

Problem is that everything related to corona is suspicious now,
so for legit websites it is not easy to post anything and they have to pay attention.

Good job. Yesterday I have seen you created this type of thread in your local board. And now nice to see that you have created it in English also. Thanks for this good job.

A suggestion

How it will if you add the username of who created the thread beside the link? Just like this
Code:
[Thread name+link] Created By [user name]

You can also skip it easily. Just sharing my Idea. Thank you.

OP
Regarding number 12 (Covid-19 DONATION CryptoLocalATM self-moderated) - Is not really a scam, but they spammed forum opening copy/paste multiple topics (I think 17) in all local sections.
They are not transparent but I don't think they are scam to be honest.

I would presume this was plan all along but I just visited the new telegram group but for whatever reasons some gullible people still think the Dev team that took over will save the day just because they forked the coin.
