Bitcoin Forum

Hi,

Was hoping someone could help. I'm being pushed to invest into tesl token (tesltoken.com). Does anyone know if this is legit or not? Looks suspicious to me... Thank you!

that's a scam token. It's not listed anywhere and what are you thinking by buying this garbage token? This is not a legit token. forget it and move to the another token. It's better if you are avoid to deal with this kind of token rather than become a new victim from the scammers. Tesl token was unpopular token and it's not even listed on CMC and CG. This garbage token is not even worth to buy. You must be careful. It can be seen from its name.

I already spent some money on it :( Got an e-mail today that a 30% deposit is required to be able to sell it. So, the money I invested - gone?

Dude would you mind exposing the person who forced you to invest in that scam token? If the first place if the token is good why would the owner forced someone to invest on it.. people should buy it by demand.

Yes, it is. Gone.

That is a classic scam technique, to ask for more funds in an attempt of withdrawal, and I'm sure they will keep doing that if you somehow obey what they tell to you to do.

I've tried to open the site, and all the look is pretty freaking fubar. How could you believe those things?
Other than asking for more funds, you stated in OP, that you are being pushed. That in a sense is an urgency, which is another thing of a classic scam.

As of now, there is nothing you can do but learn from it. And try to comprehend some of the threads that gives you some advice about how to protect yourself from being scammed here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5364418.msg58120908#post_point151

Yeah, I guess the money is gone... You live you learn... I'm new to the cryptocurrencies, so, not a good start, for sure. Thank you all for your opinions! If anyone else has anything additional to say - please, do.

That's an old trick that used by scammer. They were asking for the more money to be deposited but again after you have deposit more money and they will asking the same thing again and again. Im sorry for your lose but stop here. You shall not need give your money to the scammer.



Im sorry for your lose but if you are new in the crypto and it's better if you are asking anyone in here before try to invest. There are so many scammers in the market, just create a thread in here and many members will help you to avoid scam project like that.

What do you mean by pushing? Didn't you have proper research before investing?

At least this can give you a very important lesson. So, how can you being trapped by the scam token like that? Im just feeling curious about your story. Any token that was giving a non sense promise was just a scam token.

Good luck for your future investment. The community aware about this problem and if you have the time and you can ask maybe someone in here that very well known about the typical of crypto scam, becareful caused by scam tokens everywhere. The scammers are always creating more and more token.

At least you have taken your first lesson with this loss, then don't be too rash to dip into a lake that you can't predict the depth of. Always remember one thing in the crypto space, "if that sounds very profitable, then it's likely a scam".
This forum is a place full of good people to teach you a lot about crypto, I hope you can use it to avoid similar losses in the future.

Sorry bro, about that. That's good positive thinking though, you learn from experience. Keep that up. Don't give up.
That is the risk of buying new cryptocurrencies especially when you are looking for a gem in the broad number of altcoins.
I suggest not putting too much effort into these new coins, buy what you can afford to lose but put a higher percentage of your capital into the known and trusted cryptocurrencies particularly if you are a long-term investor.
That way, you save time and you save yourself a load of money in the long run.

Why dont you first bothered checking Tesla or Elon Musk twitter accounts for token release announcement? How do you even found this token? If Tesla decided to go crypto and issue their own token, world news would be buzzing like a huge bee hive about it. When you have opened their webpage, did it look suspicious and cheap to you? Didnt the page cause you doubts, that a company with billions of turnover could make such a poor looking page? This is an obvious scam.

You're loosing your money right now.

Becareful with any suspicious project like that and you shall tell us about how can you get this kind of project? Is it suggested by someone to invest in this kind of project? You shall never try to believe with others about investing in the crypto. So many scammers are always suggesting the newbnies to invest in the shit scam token like that.
