Title: Scam through making you install an extension... Post by: CryCrptoCry on July 12, 2020, 01:20:36 AM Scammer's topic link: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5261638.0
Scammer's Profile link: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2827993 He is telling you to install a new extension related to very reputed sportsbook with which anyone can double his/her bitcoins. Do not fall for it. 100% scammer will try to steal your bitcoins and other personal information which can be very harmful. He locked his topic so I urge to mods to remove his topic as it is very easy for any visitor or newbie to fall for it. Title: Re: Scam through making you install an extension...
