Title: Fake black Friday deals
Post by: Ken_terrance on December 04, 2020, 02:27:47 PM
Is there anyone on here getting crypto blackfriday deals through their email address? I keep getting blackfriday deals like buying bitcoin and other coins at cheaper rate but I was smart enough to do some diggings and I see that scammers are targeting emails to lure people and scam them, do not go through your emails to take advantage of any blackfriday deals

I would not trust all of these links. The only place where you can buy cryptocurrency cheaper is cryptocurrency exchanges, while you need to constantly monitor the market in order to buy at a lower price and sell at a higher price. in addition, there is the possibility of receiving free coins using airdrops and referral programs, but I have never heard of Black Friday in the cryptocurrency market.

Never seen it before. But definitely these are scammers levelling up their game and mixing it up with traditional non-crypto marketing. Either they're new to crypto so their technique is traditional or seasoned crypto scammers being more creative than usual.

Of cos  ;D, it's black Friday season and scammers are taking advantage of that too as expected, Scammers are reshaping their skills this days, they are now ready to take advantage of any thing in and out of crypto space, I'm not surprised though as I've seen such mails in my inbox, I'm guessing you are hunting for Airdrops OP? Cos the email that received the black Friday deals are used for airdrop hunting only

This is very dangerous for those who are still not smart enough to understand the news about this blackfriday offer, because they make cheap quotes on useful coins and tokens, so be careful because this is a trap of clever scammers.

Our email is really insecure. In the crypto market, scammers find our information very quickly and they constantly attack on email messages a lot. Every day my email receives dozens of $ 1000 airdrops or invitations to invest with default returns that will x10 if we poured funds immediately.
So when you see such emails then delete it, don't be greedy and read it or click on the download link available in that email, the virus can steal all your information in just a few minutes.

I don't think I have receive any such offer but now that you mentioned it I will definitely be on the lookout for any suspicious mail good thing such mail might automatically go to the junk mail so I don't have to do anything, but we should never fall for such offer because it is probably a scam offer.

I receive loads of this type of email almost every 3 days; and i do not worry about it at all. all is do is smile; and send the emails to spam before deleting it. Do not get swayed by fraudulent emails about discounts, promos, etc. Ensure you send all spam emails to the trash. Do not open such link on your phone browsers or laptop browsers.

Stay vigilant always.

Seriously, I too got the same fake email regarding black friday held by "popular" exchange while turns out the website address is really different compared to the real exchange.
The term black friday for cryptocurrency doesn't make sense in the first place anyway so I usually outright consider these emails as spams. Really grind my gear.

I got same black friday mails to, I'm guessing our email address are compromised while joining bounties and airdrop, to my surprised I use new email address and I'm already receiving fake black Friday deals, the last thing I remember joining with the email address is airdrop

You don't need to be told that those are fake deals from scammers sending random emails to their bulk mails, especially when you didn't sign up for such thing, it is festive season and scammers are doing everything possible to take advantage of this period everyone should be extremely careful and avoid opening mails from unknown sources.

none of the links that arrive via e-mail and offer deals, discounts for black friday on the purchase of crypto are truthful indeed never click the links inside them, they are definitely scams, phishing there are no discounts on the purchase of crypto on any occasion except when there are downturns in the market

I wonder how there will be a sale for crypto which is scheduled. Price is too volatile and we can't determine whether it will be onsale or will drop in price in a certain of time. It can only be possible to some exchanges if they have added service fees in the transactions that can be discounted but with the actual price of BTC or other altcoins scheduled sales might be unsuitable.

If you use your email to register different websites it is possible that you will receive many emails or spam messages . I suggest to ignore them all if you know it is not came from legitimate source or exchange. Always check the URL before logging in your account.

You will recieve different types of scheme on your email not only fake exchange even fake giveaway just to lure people to enter their details.

This is obviously fake. I always tell people to be extremely careful when buying some stuffs or having some online deals especially those that would tell you buy and get higher profits. Assuming it pays as they say, they wouldn't have involved you instead they will call on family and friends. Nothing good comes so snappy. Best place to buy whatever is exchange. Let's be very vigilant and caution

I guess some people fall for them then. It's really weird though, why would anyone think that people are selling cryptos with discount trough email?  ??? Its like getting a post where someone would offer to sell money with discount

I do. But I've never participated with any of them. I make sure that it's from a reliable source or coming from an official email.
I usually receive emails from Ledger and that's an official sale or whatever promo that they have. Be vigilant and check the resources if it's from the official website.

What kind of offer is it because so far my email has never gotten an offer about blackfriday like that, if other offers that offer bonuses or whatever sometimes they come but about blackfriday absolutely nothing. After all, when they offer bitcoin at such a low price it is utterly unbelievable, I'm sure that at this point anyone who owns bitcoin will be taken care of as well as possible and it will not be easy for them to give it away at a cheap price. A case like this must indeed become the awareness of many crypto users, because if it cannot be realized quickly then of course it will be dangerous.

I got it once in my spam mail folder lately, then removed it asap after reading the contents. If I'm not wrong it's about a discount on a cloud mining service which when I looked at the site its something like a Ponzi platform, of course I'm not crazy enough to invest in that kind of platform.

Well, you know already not to get involve in those fake email deal and that is the good thing. Sharing it here would be ideal for there are new members here that do not know about scam activities. There are so many here and that all should be careful especially in phishing platform like fake sites, fake apps that the only purpose is to scam or hack other people.

Black Friday offers are generally carried out on official websites, usually those who send offers in email are scammers, although not all offers in email are scams, but you need to be careful, especially offers about cryptocurrency, once you click the emailed link then the information your personal has entered the pocket of scammer, so try not to use your email address on any exchange.

I received some offers sometimes also by email, and also Black Friday offers.

Scammers always taking advantage of marketing to deceive people. It's not weird anymore.

I add that they also sometimes use social media pages or channels to scam. Be careful...

I think it's better to use separate email for bounties and airdrop campaigns to avoid this type of spamming mails, there is no way you will promote projects either fake or real without getting your ail exposed and only God knows who are revealing people's email address, Im guessing they are selling the email address

Yes, the solution is indeed good to use separate emails to participate in bounty and airdrop campaigns, but it will also tire someone in managing his email, imagine if he is following 100 bounty campaigns at once, there must be a lot of emails he has to make for that.

I don't know if it is just me but whenever I saw the Email that they are sending to me, I can already sense if it is a scam attempt on me or not even though I'm not opening or reading the whole context of the email.

Black Friday?? Stupid scammers trying to scam those newbies and ignorant investors again :D. Well, I believe that there are few for sure that fell down to this kind of childish trap. There are many ways to buy Bitcoin and in a legit way. Just be knowledgeable enough to know which are scams and which are not and emails or messages like this will be a trash for you.

I have received some too but since I can already sense which are legit and which are not by just seeing the first few lines, I'm not falling to these kind of traps.

The question is How does these scammers come to find your email as valid target?i think you are always passing your KYC in Fake projects thats why your data has been sold to these 3rd party scammers.

Emails is one Best door of scammers towards our defenses Because there is no Need for approval to send us even Phishing links.

Edit your Email and ban those who had sent you and also report their activities for further result.

if they try to hack email, then that's a bad thing, indeed in this internet world we have to be very careful,
because there are many digital crimes that haunt you, especially on certain days like Black Friday,
don't be tempted by the big discounts given by a website who was just born.

Yes, even Twitter, facebook, and telegram have a lot of spam messages and scams calling for investment in ghost projects. This issue will probably never be solved, so we should be conscious of protecting our property.
And remember clearly that money will never be easy to earn, if there are offers with attractive returns, be careful, it is likely a scam. Especially strangers, there is no good person in this market who naturally wants to help us make a lot of money :)

Lol, I laughed whenever I see such offers, 99% of people in this space only cares about their own pocket only, using good offers or deals can't brainwashed someone like me because I don't like free things, I believe there is always more unknown things about them, big online stores that introduce blackfriday deals in my country only use some certain items for the deals, probably old items that people aren't buying

Why would someone buy cryptocurrency through a link sent to their emails offering a huge discount and taking advantage of the Black Friday season besides there are trusted crypto market offering legitimate black Friday deals I would advise everyone to stay away from unknown emails offering heaven and earth these are scammers words and most of these emails are phishing attack.
