This twitter account is promoting a scam airdrop, they will steal your ETH, so don't do it

https://twitter.com/OmiseCo

I lost every ETH i had, for two years i've been saving and now i lost it all. I know it is my fault and i don't want to blame anybody, i just want people not to make the same mistake i did


Be careful, and good luck to everybody (except you scammers, fuck you!)

bruh , this should be on scam accusations board https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=83.0
You can move topic on the left bottom page.

first of all you made it in a wrong board,
it's service board not a scam accusation board which is created for telling people about scam attempt or scammer,
and second,how can you lose it if you said 'Airdrop' ?
as far as i know,an airdrop is a free coin.
they give you a free coin for doing something or participating their project,
and how can you lose it ? and what make me feel it a bit suspicious,why you put your address  ? and said 'If anyone's compassionate and wants to donate something this is my address' seems like you're begging for it.

where's the proof and what happened exactly?

I've moved the topic

Here is the transaction ID https://etherscan.io/tx/0x49602e6c9ee1790ea784c08a6af795fc87173af07d57e336a66555aa561dc651

They asked me to create a new wallet and send them the key to sign a message, damn i was so wrong

And yes, i am desperate, i've been saving for two years, not buying me anything to have a better future, and i lost it all in 30 mins of stupidity

I'm not begging anyone to donate, but simply seeing someone willing to donate even small amounts would make me feel better, not for the money itself but for the fact that somebody cared enough

1. How airdrop scammed you?

2. 2 years? I saw your scanned eth address not even reached 2 years.

3. (Like number 1) How did scammer get your eth? Unless you give eth to scammer because they announce an scam event which increase your airdrops?

They claimed they needed a message signed with the key, i asked them how to do that with a ledger and they told me to create a new wallet, so i moved everything to my old wallet to the new one and they stole everything from there

Yes, i've been stupid

I am sorry for what happened to you. I guess you are not alone because I have been a victim of hacking too...I think I lost round 5 Ethers in my account in myetherwallet.com. I don't know what really happened because I usually do not just click any link and I never send anybody key to my account. I guess we really have to be super careful all the time. As for me, there is nothing I can do but accept what happened as part of being involved with this online thing. It is really sad to lost something we know we earned for.

That's sad. It seems some users want to raise faster by scamming someone.


Sorry, I don't have eth to donate, I'm still new to this even bitcoins. I still need to know how to get those faster and not to scam someone.

It's no problem man, i'm not really posting here for the donations

I just want people not to make my same mistake

Best luck to you

This doesn't make sense.

What? Is their fault that you can't create a wallet and secure your funds? How would they steal your coins by asking you to create a new wallet and send your coins there? If I wanted to buy your ETH and you end up sending the coins to a wrong wallet, that would be my fault? Read what you just said. It's just stupid.

1. They didn't scammed you. They only asked for a signed message so you can prove that the address with the coins are yours. That's how a airdrop works. If you sent the coins to a wrong address or had a malware that stole yous coins, that's your fault.

Btw, you can't ask for donations.

I feel you bro, I am feeling devastated with what happened to you, almost $70,000 worth of ethereum goes to scammers. Just a curiosity how come did you earned it all and why did you invest all of it, it seems that you participated in different ICO's but why did you go all in one. Cheer up though, if you did it once you can do it again. Take this a hard way lesson, eat ice cream and think of happy thoughts cause this is not the end.

They asked me to create a new wallet because i could not sign a message using a private key with the ledger (of course not), so i've sent them the private key of the new wallet (how smart i was)


I earned it investing early in ETH, right after the DAO

I wasn't going all in, i was just trying to claim the OmiseGo coins

WARNING! It happened again today.
Don't fall in trap! SCAM https://omisegotoken.com SCAM
This is real OmiseGo website: https://omg.omise.co

I still don't understand how they stole your money.

You followed these steps:

1. You had your coins in an old wallet.
2. Scammers told you to sign a message, so you moved all your coins to a new wallet (which you control, right?)

So how they could steal your money? Try to be more clear...

Try to read it again properly,
he asked him to create a new wallet/address and send his coin to there.
afterwards they asked him to send his private key to 'sign the message' in order to get the airdrop
look at here :
from my observation,it's not omisego fault because he get scammed by scammer.
it was not their official twitter if you look at it closely,
and it was not their first attempt to do it,you can find an imposter created the website to fool the airdropers.
like this one for example :
https://omisegotoken.com

lesson : do not every give your keys to someone else no matter what,because they have an access to your money on it

I've lost all my tokens. Because Iam a silly idiot.

Another question:
Why is the page still up and running?!?!
