And they are really ready, all those scripts, images are in one folder and will be uploaded once they got their domain name, easy as 1-2-3 for this bad actors.
But we will remain vigilant and will fight it back by exposing them.

They can buy a dozen of domain for only 1$ or less then they are ready to go and also it's impossible to spot them all so they can actually caught some victim. The best way to beat them is to educate people to avoid this kind of scam scheme because of the victim of this kind scheme has no idea what is the risk on participating with this kind of giveaways or ponzi. I'm not telling that this kind of thread is useless but rather a commendable act and I really appreciate OP's work. I'm just telling a more efficient way to fight this kind of scam attempt.

Yeah, they have well planed to keeps scamming people with their scenario. If the previous website was taken down they will get the new one and continue the journey.snip I'm not against your opinion, indeed exposing them one by one is not an effective way. At least we gave people caution to avoid this kind of scam program.The problem is most of the people didn't do proper research before joining any program even though there are a lot of resources that can be learned on the internet or this forum to spot and avoid it. Title: Re: FAKE Bitcoin Giveaway Post by: Chikito on July 05, 2020, 05:39:01 AM you can find the same link like your proof; https://www.phishtank.com/user_submissions.php?username=seki
usually, scammer use One IP's to make a new one, we should go to IP abuse report https://www.abuseipdb.com/ If you have enough time you must check the BTC address they provide will land to same scammer address. Title: Re: FAKE Bitcoin Giveaway Post by: TalkStar on July 05, 2020, 05:59:38 AM I'm not against your opinion, indeed exposing them one by one is not an effective way. At least we gave people caution to avoid this kind of scam program. Fighting against scammers and keeping investors far from them is not so easy where their only target is to make some easy money. Scammers are launching new projects everyday because still people exists who haven't got minimum knowledge about crypto investment. Due to lack of knowledge about crypto related scams and money stealing projects they are getting scammed in a regular basis. You can't stop them from getting scammed if they don't feel it necessary to make a research before investment. Basically its totally up to them. The problem is most of the people didn't do proper research before joining any program even though there are a lot of resources that can be learned on the internet or this forum to spot and avoid it. By the way, our little try can save many newbies from this kinda fake giveways and increasing awareness is the only option for us. Keep continuing your impressive work against scammers.

I do agree that education is the best weapon that we can have against this scammers or criminals. But we need to let other members know how this kind of schemes works so that they can fully understand and not to fall for the trap. So before we can learn and educate, we need to understand first everything before we can teach others. I'm not telling that this kind of thread is useless but rather a commendable act and I really appreciate OP's work. I'm just telling a more efficient way to fight this kind of scam attempt. Yes, and we can better fight them if we work as community, giving red flags and warnings for others and then we report those malicious websites.
