Title: New scam tactics [Be aware!]
Post by: AB de Royse777 on May 07, 2019, 04:46:24 PM
This is not a regular scam accusation.

I ended up reading this post earlier,
Dear Bitcoin people,

There are over 20+ Bitcoin hard forks. We only know a few that are big. Example Bitcoin Gold and Bitcoin Cash.

If you still have Bitcoin you can redeem like over 20 different hard fork coins.

Please check out what coins you are still able to redeem before they dissapaer!

Code:
https://myninjacoin.website
I have edited the url inside code tag and also please do not enter your seed on that website.

Please always keep your seed/private keys safe.

Cheers :-)

Yeah, that's a copy of the FindMyCoins.ninja (http://FindMyCoins.ninja) website (which obviously only asks for your Bitcoin address and not seed/private-key).

I have tagged him.

How you came to know that the website is fake and stealing our info? Have you any info regarding their scam. If you have any info that could be better to take a decision. If anyone wants to redeem their coin for fork then they have to enter their private key or seed there is no exception.

Yes, they are both same ones is asking wallet id to check and another one asking private key to redeem. As both all info looking same we can say it a scam.

An online application to extract the forked coin from the private key / seed is a possible scam. Bitcoin core client is not an web app. It's a desktop app.

Thank you. Good to see that trust rating is visible now.

Another way to commit scam and truly its not unexpected because those fraudlent activators regular work is to find a new way of scam. I hope crypto users will stay far from those.

New scammers are born daily and everyone should always stay vigilant no matter what. These lazy people don’t deserve a single penny and always protect your hard earned money. But I discourage buying forked coins and trust only Bitcoin instead.
