I consider all 'get rich quick with little or no effort but your capital' as scam ventures, and they mostly are.
There is no short cut to wealth and no one is willing to pay you for doing nothing.
Always be on guard.

Indeed, more and more fraudsters are ICO investors and they want to call for capital to develop their projects. They guarantee a huge profit and you need to send bitcoin to them to develop the project. That's just a scam trick and we will not get any profit because the project does not exist.

Seriously those scammers don't know what they are talking about, they just fool people to send to a "miner address". I've been receiving same messages from those people but I'm just ignoring them.

To be honest, I want to have that type of conversation but its just a waste of time. I hope newbies there won't be fooled by these scammers. Ignore them when you receive the same message.

Those scammers should be banned from every social media platform as they are mischief to legit hard workers who spend time on learning things and improving their skills so they can earn some legit money by using their mind and skills.

Those scammers have already scammed many new comers who just entered the crypto-world with their scams and the schemes that attracted the attention of the ones who wanted to make money overnight. But, reality is really harsh because those scammers are everywhere to scam those newbies with their scams.

You have done a great job by sharing your conversation with the scammers as that will help many new users of the forum who are new to the world of cryptos.

This is need to be solved, and who can solve it is investor. They can't just invest their money in project that actually get bad, and that kind of investor need to get educated how to do good investment.

There are no shortcut to success in the world of cryptocurrency, so, care must be taken when dealing with the unknown individual, who ever they pretend to be or the type of investment they are into. Many Facebook group page are more prone to scam activities; lets be aware of this unsolicited activities from Facebook asking to type How, Info, show,........

However cruel it may sound, people are to blame for being caught in the network of fraudsters, common sense overrides a quick profit without investing in labor.

scammer find all ways to get money from you in any media such as facebook, because faceboook are not sure to protect your information. Therefore you need to be carefully , you should use one computer only for transaction bitcoin, not for surfing facebook  to avoid being scammed

Well, his confidence could sway anyone. We seriously need to look out for such scammers. These people are the reason that the majority is unable to accept bitcoin as a safe currency or even an investment. There should be strict rules to avoid such scams.

This scammer follows the old style, but such deals can be scammed by others, especially if we are talking about services.
When I was a beginner, someone offered to help me with the service"Digital service" I needed and because I did not know much about the Bitcoin"lost that money."
The same may apply to newbies so the use of an eacrow is must.

There are so many scams out there, backed by the chance to do it through pseudo-anonymous channels, that pry not only on those eager to make a quick buck. Even going through the safest channels to do business is no guarantee and many things can still go wrong.

This specific case is a bait trap set out for newbies. The specific BTC address given by the scammer has no activity and no past TXs, but likely, the swindler uses a different BTC address on every occasion he lures someone into conversation. It's good to flash around such cases as a warning to others.

Any "gold-rush" of sorts throughout the ages, or a chance for monetary advancement draws plenty of parasites who are immorally trying to make a quick buck.

80% of ICO's in 2017 were scams.

There's no such thing as easy money. Accurately assessing a promising project takes research and a relatively deep understanding of economics, or more basically, the principles of supply and demand.

Only put your money into things that are actually going to change and potentially transform the world using the latest innovations and technologies. Something that you believe in and are excited about. You have to believe when no one else does to make the greatest ROI.

It's not new scam scheme, but unfortunately it still works. Why scammers would need to invent something new when they can get money with this scheme. As we see, they don't even need to put much effort into their scamming activities. Everything is needed some stories about magical mining hardware. And it looks that many people, especially who have no experience in crypto world believe in these stories.

This kind of scam attempt also happened to me, but it's on telegram. I can't understand why this scammer inviting people to join while he could get that daily profit by himself, that's just ridiculous, and that's the point of his scam way.
