Bitcoin Forum

So Today in Gambling Section i saw this post,
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5284674.msg55460770#msg55460770


So this a Pure Way of Scamming.
I checked the Deposit section of Nitrogensports and as mentioned in the Post above by the OP in the blog (https://telegra.ph/Become-a-Beta-Tester-of-NitrogenSports-Promotions-addon-and-earn-up-to-001-BTC-10-27) no such notification was not there.
About the Promotion the the Nitrogensports team hasn't mentioned in their official blog also https://blog.nitrogensports.eu/promotions/
Neither in their ANN thread in the forum. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=355081.0

So it's an obvious scam attempt which will be done if we add that extension in our Broswer, it might just take all our balance that we will deposit in the site (not tried though).
I have already reported the user to Mods, but for the time Being as the OP's thread is locked, it's a request to DT to tag the account.( https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2869754 )
Atleast someone will be saved from being scammed.

Thanks for Reading this.

Good catch. This is a link to a page with malware and should be reported as such. Whoever is behind this has been at it for quite some time. They make their post, it gets reported and deleted, and the account gets banned. Then the cycle is repeated, over and over again. I think somebody started a thread specifically for reporting this problem but I don't remember what it was.

Next time just make a post in this thread:

Report Malware and Suspicious Links here so Mods can take Action ! (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5182222.0)

and it will be reported and dealt with. Thanks.

Don't worry, the telegraph has recognized OP's story and has rewarded him with a column in the leading newspaper.

That takes a lot of effort to make an extension and make an impersonation of a real telegraph handle. The screenshots are well edited and the scammer spent some time while coding the extension and then doing some photoshop :P

The scammer is not so smart.... ;D :D

As mentioned earlier by nutildah it isn't a relatively new scam attempt, it already occurred several times and repeated in the past. IIRC the Nitrogensports had clarified that those actions were not done by their representative, so if you see a similar post such this one next time it's better to report it to mod directly.

Yeah I still remember about it, here's the thread - theymos, please automatic nuke them: a group of scammers. (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5260731.0)

This kind of scam has been going on for a long time with a few modifications.

Here is a thread Nutildah was probably talking about;
New scam schema on the forum - Free Money To Test Casinos  (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5081286.0)

Well there's always something new we learn every day, isn't it?  :)
