Title: Currency exchange: scammer sends a link to "buy a private key"
Post by: LoyceV on August 17, 2019, 02:41:13 PM
I haven't seen this exact variation of a very old scam yet, so I hope this warning thread can prevent some naive greedy Newbies from getting scammed.

Scammer: cryptocoinmikel (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2666105)
Flag: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;flag=643

I was curious what the catch was for SELL 1 BITCOIN CASH OF 4 FOR CASH, BITCOIN (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5176295):
Hello guys, I am selling 1 bitcoin cash for $250 in bitcoin.
If you have interesed, send a private message or contact to email.

Here's the catch:

The link leads to this (in a Private Tor browser):

That showed me all I needed to tag cryptocoinmikel (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2666105), and I'll now make a new tag with this thread as Reference link.

Current BCH price $302 (coinbase rate), why should some sell it only for $250 (http://archive.is/Tn4pf)? He might sell it with any exchange rather than sell it on this forum. So this is obvious scam attempt. Only fool and much greedy peoples will fall on this trap. I don't think this traditional scam plan will work for him. However, supported red flag and left negative feedback's to scammer. Hope greedy newbie will aware about his scam attempt.

Seems SharBox also showing multiple warning, it would help prevent some newbie if they have sense.

Those are the basic warning for their user and first one is applicable for this scammer. Flag supported and scammer profile tagged from my end.
