When ever you come across such it's a total scam, it's never real to begin with, it's just a fake good news to lure you into a trap, do not bother to read

The fact is people who make it big aren't always ready to share news about how they do it

These kind of news and updates have been spamming several crypto groups on Telegram and its becoming a common tool and way through which scammers lure unsuspecting people into their cheap scams. They get you interested with false claims and have you join their so called VIP subscription groups and then either sell you spywares and malwares as robots or they take your subscription fee and disappear without offering you anything in return. We all must be very careful.

That is their cheap strategy to attract gullible users. But if you are already considered to be a long timer in crypto, at first glance, you already know if they are saying gibberish or not. And most too-good-to-be-true offers are really scam. There's always a loophole in that offering. Everyone should be vigilant with those kind of offers. If they are already doing good with such offer, why not keep it to themselves and get rich as much as they can.

Yes they do sharing their blessings and how they acquire their wealth but not in a way that they are trying to hype a certain program or projects, the only way to combat this kind of FOMO or hype is to do research and verification, sometimes these people are paid to shill.

For me, most of the people who fall for it are just newbie.
That is only the downsides of some newbies entering the scene of financial even cryptocurrency or non-crypto currency, they are very vulnerable to these kinds of scams.
That kind of scams or fake good news is all over the social media, most of the target are those newbies.
Also, some people are using fake profiles in social media, like Facebook or Linkedin, etc.

I think almost all crypto lovers understand this and more events like that happen in telegrams and they do DM to their victims. If a newbie might be trapped right away, therefore before joining the world of cryptocurrency, it is very important to doing research in advance about the good and the bad in result.

Those are not news, but spam messages targeted to make you feel uneasy and greedy as soon as you read it. It causes you to be uneasy and feel fomo almost instantly. As a newbie or professional, have it at the back of your mind that you will not get involved with any form of signal buying, signal groups. Learn to do researches, and find out true situations of basic stuffs too. Be wary because there are fraudulent ads on social media as well.

Maybe they are generous to share there secret? Kidding  :D

Actually that tag line was used before by those legit businessman that made success especially when they are selling there own books about there story of success. And it's really effective that's why scammers adapt to use it. I'm just saying that method of promoting is not created by a scammer so not all using that method are surely promoting scam. I'm a book reader especially trading books that's why I'm saying this. Most of the book seller used that method on there sales. Not the actual word by word that indicated by OP but close to it. ;D

But in crypto space. The majority of it are scam and you can confirm it by reviewing the account of poster itself. It is a 100% scam if the account is dummy account.

Random people has no reason to contact you and say they are happy to make you rich so yes this kind if investment offers are completely scam and this is not new in the internet world.Even we can get the offers with the name of reputed company or individual with similar contact details but we need to remember making money is not easy so don't let your greed to swallow your mind.

I have seen a lot of these baits lately hijacking social media conversations. Disguising as a legit poster. Scammers are getting sophisticated with their strategy in enticing and attracting people to their trap. I just ignore them but I don't know for newbies in the crypto space.

You are so lucky if that's really exist. But No it isn't, no one in great mind will chat you or
share their winning strategy.
Most of the time or we can say all the time it's just a pure style of scam, wanting someone
to join in and start sucking the money.


If making money is easy as it said, then we wouldn't see anyone who are still poor and having
difficulty in life.
But realities showed that there's no such things like this, everything needs to properly studied
and assess, master the skills
before  enjoying all the benefits.

I have received lot of messages lately, requesting me to join their platform. What a strange thing, I'm still surprise till now, how can you tell me that you built a site that can mine Bitcoin and Ethereum. They are requesting for almost $50 to register. And I keep thinking when we people learn. And people that have no knowledge of how the Blockchain works will be carrying the news around. Decieving people with fake news to swindle them of their hard earn money.

People don't fall for this scams anymore, I always see such schemes in many telegram groups most especially crypto channels but people now knew what they are, in 2017 many lost money to this scam trick but not anymore, people won't give up their money making strategy just like that like OP said

Scammers still trying even this style was already been known by many, the hope for newcomers and greedy people
still possible. They are trying to keep punching in the wind hoping that it will be landed to anyone and start following
them. Better to do your own research and never to entertain any form of this messages, they won't help they are
all after with your investment.

Every day I find a similar kind of message in both my PM and telegram channels of which I am a member of. Many newbies don't realize that it's a scams attempt which will result in theft of their funds. We should always avoid joining such groups.

A newbie scammer with a newbie style can still lure some newbie investors especially if they knew who this George Anderson. This newbie scammer will also rank his way up and soon find a group of scammer as well who then has a bright idea of copying what other scammers had been doing. 

I come across with them on some channel back 2015 and they are the ones brave enough to dox me and will try to ruin me by sending messages to my facebook friends. This is why I will never contact anyone who will approach me for a job. I figure they target people and this type of scam targets newbies.

that's the same as what happened with the dogecoin when a kind that comes from tiktok has created a clickbait video and so many whales are hyping it. The fake news has used to do fake pump to fool the newcomers to get into the waves and the party who have agenda will be going out from the market.

Do people still fall for such scam. It is one of the oldest one if  Remember it correctly. I saw it for the first time way back in 2012. I thought of it and was interested but one of my friend told me at that time it was a scam.

Are people still falling for this tricks? Very hard to believe, it should be cast by now, every telegram users have one point in time come across such fake tricks, only those who don't know about this will fall for it, this is an old trick that doesn't work on people anymore.

As an investor with a long years of experience, I have already came across with these popular lines of scammers.

The words are really promising but in reality it's an empty words that its purpose are just to scam people.

We should use different sources to verify that information, this forum is a good source for that, you can post here and seek some advise from experts and for sure you'll get the right answer. Personally, I have learned a lot in this forum and it's the reason for most of my success investing in crypto.

All these tricks are as old as the world, but, nevertheless, they still work. Unstable, gullible minds can believe in this beautiful deception, for which they will pay. But all this is designed for beginners, those who have already encountered the crypto industry do not pay attention to this.

If a person found a gold-mine by nature they will rarely tell another people and same thing goes for crypto market, no one's gonna tell you their secret that easily and if they do they are scamming you. this kind of scamming method already spreading through many media including youtube but
it takes a little intelligence to figure out that these all are bs but there's always that person who got trapped into this scheming.

some people still do, you see there are many people complaining about it if you search it up in google. heck, even that IT support guy who scamming people through telephone still exist simply because some people still fall for it.

Well this was happen often on different social media platform, specially they do pm randomly and they didn't know that some people have enough knowledge on cryptocurrency and sometimes all that pm was a scam or has a virus on the link so beware on clicking some site or else all your details would be gather.

Fake news has always existed in the world of cryptocurrency. Some of the news sites, such as Coin Telegraph publish fake news (in most cases relatively harmless ones), to act as clickbait and to attract more traffic to their website. But then there is the second type, pushed by scammers in social media. It includes Twitter/Facebook posts about scam projects and if you are not careful then you may lose your money.

Its a skeet or saved statement for every telegram they visited. Its not just Mr. Anderson, but many more names who keep telling that they got gains or profits with his help. Moreover why would you believe on someone that is randomly saying he/she got earned from it. This is a total bullshit, on a telegram that they will ask for it, there is what you called an accomplices that proves its real but those are just actors and they are on both team that keep acting this kind of modus. If I were you, I will just ignore it, only a waste of time to discuss with them their scam method.

It's no good news, it's a way to make you feel like you losing out, something like ingredient of FOMO, though it's an old trick but what about those who aren't aware of this? They will surely want to give a try, newbies need to be stay away from any good offers online, it's a scam 100%

I wonder if there is anyone trust this fake news and get scammed. This is literally fake news and i think this is a common thing on cryptocurrency. First rule to survive on crypto is trust nobody. I really meant it dont trust anyone it can lead you into their trap.

Being an old member in cryptocurrency business industry won't fall to this type of fake new anyway.
Possible for newbies who most often got fell on this trap news updates, isn't it right? That's why we really need
to be careful at all cost and careful in terms of believing in crypto news nowadays.

Such a cheap and very common way to scam newbie investors and worse is that they used the name of "God" just to scam which is just sucks for me.

I've seen this in Telegram already and some are also sending me a PM about it but I don't give a damn to them and I don't entertain such scammers like them. I know which are scam and which are not already base on what I've seen here and in social media. I just hope that no investors will fall into this common trap card by the stupid and newbie scammers.

I believe most crypto enthusiasts are already aware of that cheap scam method, it's the usual spam in most groups from clone accounts. Some will even chat you that they want you to also benefit from Mr. Bla bla bla who aided them with a money making strategy in a bid to scam you. I normally block such people and when I see their spam posts in groups, I just laugh and skip.

fake website and use fake testimonials. with testimonials, they can convince the victim more. with a website as if it were a real project. it's easy to make materials like that, because they are sure will get profit.

It was only a pure marketing strategy and thats, not a piece of good news either! If you're a noob in the crypto industry you should understand first the fundamentals on how cryptocurrency works, and if you successfully learn about the "do's and don't" in crypto now you are educated about how to avoid like those cheap marketing tricks, Noobs are ordinary target with those kinds of marketing strategies. because noobs are easily trick through their emotions. 

Only noobs and newbies take such talk serious. Most of such promoters are nothing but scammers. When you invest with them,  you get blocked and site goes off.

I hope newbies will not believe in those kinds of trap/scam. Always find facts if investing money is involved, if they offer like trading or investing in some platform why not learn how to trade and do it yourself right? Also, on twitter and youtube, a lot of scammers are using a popular platform like Binance they are imitating them to fool some people and initiate their scam motives.

That's right. Stay away from those very powerful  deception of other just to scam their fellow man. Very attractive but all are fake and every one should avoid those messeges. Your post is a good reminder to those easy to believe in sweet and captivating words.

Almost all social media are not reliable resources to get start with. So, do not listen to them even they look too real to believe with. The better practice should be, after getting any such news then you must google or come and check with this community members to find the credibility of any news. I do get lots of such links in my telegram but I never click them as basic internet safety measurement must be not clicking any link provided my strangers.

Moreover, these days we are getting subscribed to lots of new telegram groups and telegram channels automatically which makes our security to be decreased in greater levels which makes me to have new telegram id more often so that I could prevent my telegram handle misused by scammers and other SEO people.

I think there needs to be some sort of regulation on news, not just in crypto but in other parts of the news world as well, but since they are given free rights with "freedom of speech" they could say stuff like "there are aliens in the world right now... sources say" and they can get away with it, all they have to say that "sources say" part and they wouldn't have any problems.

I am fine with freedom of speech, I am fine with free press and journalist rights, but when people say stuff that hurt other people, there should be consequences as well. So, freedom of speech should stop at proven factually wrong stuff being published. Like if you say "oceans are made of chocolate" or whatever crazy stuff, that should not be freedom of speech, that is just pure wrong. These fake good news causes a lot of people lose money, how could that be fine?

Messages like this fly around on social media especially telegram and Facebook everyday. These are pure scammers and fraudsters looking for a way of scamming innocent people.  It's a pure ponzi scheme and not a legit investment/business at all.  On no occasion should you ever join or involve yourself in this kind of message.  People that are greedy of making it quick mostly fall into this kind of trap.

I always tell my friends this is the cheapest scam ever. Why will you invest and make huge profits still be on telegram or Twitter disturbing everyone about your profits. Having such huge profit should make you leave social media for a while and enjoy your funds and moreover nobody needs such publicity and if you want to help there are ways of involving your friends and family to make the profit with you. People should wise up anyway. It's a total scam.

These and most giveaways that require you to send some little test transaction so you can be eligible for the giveaway are all scams, there are even fake 1000 eth giveaway sponsored advert on Youtube

Actually it is true that people who make it big hardly shares their ideas so that people won't beat them in their game, this is also the reason why most organisations hides their secret and so on. However, about the scam post, I have seen that countless times on telegram groups, in fact they are good in spamming telegram groups and as such easy to be considered scam thus anyone following up the link is only but greedy. Also, people should be careful not all posts are worth following up and once it starts with telling you about imaginary money, don't bother going further, it is only but scam.

I found a lot of it in telegrams, spam, often accompanied by photos of thousands of dollars in the wallet. Too good to be real. Their target is newbies who do not understand this ecosystem well, seeing good and easy opportunities is sure to attract newbie's attention. so don't be surprised if there are still people who are trapped by that kind of deception.
The thing we need to understand in the world of crypto is that although there are good opportunities that can provide wealth or huge profits, we must know that there is a process that we must go through, it can not be instant, especially quick profits just by sending a number of funds to other people on the internet that you don't know, that's fraud, scam.

Youre right cause the newbies wont be aware of the fake investment advertisement done these days particularly on telegram and the question why would anyone ever believe the testimonies of an outsiders about crypto related investment which is not fundamental established when we know crypto not to be a quick to rich scheme.

I would suggest adding people from Twitter who want to obsessively advertise projects to the ignore! Because you are their prey and they get their money from you!
In general, you have to be very careful about the news!

It's good to sensitize the newbies.the message is always flying around up and down at least more than 10 diff person will post it with am short time. Beware of them.

This kind of post, pm I see every day. So far I have not fallen into this trap of scammers. Many people are victims of such scams, most of them newbies. Newbies can be easily persuaded, on any kind of scam website. I have seen many newbies lose their money in various forms of greed. Scammers always exploit people's greed to fill their pockets. Newbies will never believe these scammers. As long as you trust these scammers you will continue to lose money.

The most annoying one is that mentioned by OP, whereby a scammer persuades you saying God will bless Mr Anderson ( or any other name) for helping him out, now he is rich. Saying you should invest and be made like him. This looks 100% like outright scam yet these scammers still get people fall for their scams. Funny enough on telegram they get banned more often and then they create new accounts to continue their scams. If it looks so good to be true, then it's scam, do not take uncalculated risk with your crypto assets.

For years now, it's been a commonly used scam strategy use by those low life scammers to lure newbies and mostly greedy and uninformed people in this space. People especially the newbies really needs to get well imform about possible investment opportunities in this space in order to help them spot a fraud-like onces and that's why i always appreciate threads such as this as they in one way or the other, enlighten people on how to be super careful in this space

Some of them will easily get scammed especially if they have invested in the market because they heard or read somewhere that an investor have made profit at least x10 of his initial capital, that's really enticing but without looking at the negative side, most likely they'll fail since it's not everyday that the market are bullish.

During the time where people get FOMO'd some people get in while the smart ones started to dump their coins to cash out some profit, so the late comers will be disappointed since the market was not behaving well after the bull run, and worst is that even legit coins in the market were already viewed as scam due to more scams projects created and greedy investors without enough knowledge came to play in the market.

It will take time to get back the reputation and confidence of the investors, but if we are smart enough, we will wait for that time. 

It is really good to see such results, maybe people have learnt to use from other experiences and they try to be more careful about that. There were more people who have fallen into scams so easily lack of knowledge. But it is something different at the moment, as you above mentioned investors have good experience and knowledge about scammers. 

Another surprising thing is that another telegram account will pop up and begin to support or back it up. It's still the same person. This is to tell you that scammers are devising new means almost every time, so, we need to also research, be at alert and be able to stand without falling victim of it.

I dont also entertain any message from anybody not invited in my DM, I usually check the group in common, if the message is not from a recognise admin and the information is not relevant I usuall block such individual. I wish telegram also allow delete of any unwanted news from the group, active admin control such spam.Experience will teach on how to react to real news most especially for the top coin. HODLing whatever the news say but selling at the right time.

If you already have knowledge in crypto and knows about the situation, you can't let that stupid attempt to scam you. It was really attempting to hear that SUCCESS words but have to think about how this person will tell others and let them do the same. He might able to make a story of his own on a separate page rather than to ask people to inbox him and send a message "HOW'? That is sounded like he wants you to fall on his trap.
It is happening around, scammers will find a way and strategical enough to brag people by their scripted and articulated SUCCESS story. I hope others will be more vigilant about this scheme.

actually the news is sometimes right and sometimes wrong, or rather the moment you take when you hear the news that a coin is holding an event, that's where your speculation assesses or estimates the price will go up or down, you should see starting from the daily volume increasing / decreasing, the price which slowly rises or not.

We can avoid it by not reading it, if we are aware that there are many fake news in the market then it is better if we will ignore it and focus on what we are doing right now. If we will not ignore those fake news around social media platforms about cryptocurrencies then it can may affect further decision. It can cause hyped after all where we can have emotional attachments in a certain cryptocurrency.

We can't ignore fake news, what we can do is to not give them value after reading. It's good to follow trends, and fake news can't start a trend. What happened with Doge recently, and that Tik-Tok challenge how can video can become viral and affect masses and their actions. Successful traders read everything and they follow trends, they are successful because they know how to adjust their strategies depending on the market conditions in the present time.

Just for the reason of manipulating those speculation assets, it seems nowadays news are being released or being cooked up. It means they are "creating' news so that market will react and from that those manipulators are trying to milk out. From what I read on this forum, this kind of manipulations by deceiving investors and traders are happening for years whereas experienced altcoin adopters has found methods to filter out fake news and most others fall into those traps.


But when more people are participating into certain movement then that becomes a trend :D. I mean, regardless of credibility of news, when fake news got ability to convince more people, then it led to make a trend. I guess this is what exactly happened with dogecoin last week. I guess that dogecoin trend will persist by considering the power of social media.

To avoid fake news, follow trusted news websites or group on telegram or twitter. I always check everything carefully before reading a news article, and I will never believe that news comes from untrusted websites.

that is true because someone who has succeeded will find it very difficult to share their techniques to do it, so we should avoid projects or ICOs like that.

the reality is that people are very influenced by the main title of a story. if they are interested, they will read it. Well, to be honest, it's very difficult to distinguish between fake news and real news if we don't do research first, and most people read news without doing in-depth research so that they trust false news so quickly even if the source is not trusted.

usually i found it in telegram group which is many scammer gather there. i am thinking it just scamm trap to us if joined in that group or contact whole person.  i am sure they will give us unreal offer with tranfering money first to get this access.  we must warn group admin when meet this messages so there is no one will be victim.

Same experience, its annoying actually when you see a lot of messages like that. What is worse is they will message you directly about it and insisting on investing on that kind of investment. For me to be safe from these kind of people, dont ever trade or make any transaction over telegram, always do it on exchange and or official platform only.

Right! It's not only on Telegram but also on other social media platforms as well! Don't expect a stranger to show you the way to be rich! That is too good to be true, and you know it! We better read information, news, and resources on trustable sources only. Don't be fooled by any news that doesn't come from untrusted sources to avoid being scammed! 

I've been seeing a lot of these posts from social media. Think of it if you are earning pretty well why would you bother sharing it and take advantage of it instead. There are a lot of people in crypto who would trick you and no one will help you earn aside from your self. Learn and don't be fooled by different investment schemes. No easy money is earned in investment and no investment will let you gain your ROI in a short span of time.

Many people who do various ways to get the coffers quickly, which is one way with things like this. To overcome the problem, in this case, means we must be more careful and smarter in reacting to it. Not necessarily all easily tempted just because you are promised a great opportunity to get profit. Stay alert!

I really don't get moved when I see such, it looks too fake to me, only the greedy ones will get moved and contact them, thereby causing their own pains,good information don't travel that way,so it's good to stay off these stuff that promises double or more of your capital,always do research on whatever you want to go into.

These posts mostly come from shills or bots. They can have Mr. or Mrs. and hundreds of accounts like that to push a certain agenda, shill scheme,... No ones would share their bowl of food or a good way to earn money without any condition.

be careful, there are currently many spammers and scams, be it on forums, social media and other platforms. because now the crypto market is falling, and people will be very interested quickly. In essence, for the current situation we must filter various information, whatever it is from social media. because we need clear data on the information we get. because it must be related to investment.

You made zero sense. Coin events no longer have any market impact, anyway. Everyone has become wise to the fact that all these news of partnerships, new blockchain, migration, burn etc all no longer mean anything if the coin is shit anyway.

Volume is also manipulated especially with coins that only belong to a few big wallets,,, and even if they are distributed true owners are the same.

Believe only what is objective and neutral.

Spreading fake news moves newbies. With my experience in the crypto space I won't believe anything until I check the project Telegram channel and see the pin post, then I will realize it's coming directly from the team. Nothing shakes me

certainly lots of scammers in social media section even it's makes by very professional hackers. When someone give me message with link then i giving spam report, even it's my pleasure. Moreover more new members facing this problem properly.

Newbie without knowledge, just be specific.

If one is investing, he has to be resourceful of getting real information as in the first place, we already know the nature of the market we are investing, it is very risky in here, reason why crypto investment are labeled as a high risk investment.

Fake news are everywhere, some would fall, it's expected but as we continue to learn and educate ourselves, that would help on the total improvement of the market as less scam would attract more investors.

When i saw news, my mind says every news has an impact on the price of crypto currency tokens be it positive or negative news, it always has an impact. But this you mentioned is not a news, but an attempt to lure in newbies who are eager to make profit.

Be careful, do your own research and not be greedy

Professional hackers knows well how to attract possible targets, they are bringing things to look legit and if the target grabs it, they will
penetrate and really make a use of it. This kind of scamming act are always present to any venue especially inside social media services
be guided not to entertained to avoid damages.

 :D all of this type of announcement are a scammer behind the move. They always understand the weakness of a man, they know greediness is one of the problems in the world. Any greedy individual who don't want to face his dear life but want more money in-return them should be ready to be scam. This types of news aren't even good to my liken, because they contains some elements of scam in them.

Mostly, newbies are the most victims in this kind of scam because they easily grab this kind of techniques and end up losing their funds. It's still preferable to make a good research first in everything that we will do especially if the concern involves money. Being greedy is something that will push us to accept this kind of offer so avoid being greedy as much as possible.

human nature is greed, so many scammers take advantage of this and not a few are trapped in it. however, until now false news has blended with our lives. in fact, we do not know which news provides true information or not, because any shocking news will affect the market, whether it is proven or unproven.

I always see those kind of post in social media with a photo of people holding cash,
But I always ignore it and I always see that it is being flooded with comment I think it is their way on attracting people.
They would flood it with comments so it would look like there are so many people who are interested and going to invest but I think it is just their own alt-account bumping their post.

Its not unusual seeing such tactics of scammers to fool people.

So if you're a kind of person who easily believe news without verifying how real it is then you might end up as their victim.

Believe the news if it came from a reliable sources, otherwise think and have doubt.

It's just a was to fool and lure the unclever newbies in crypto space, since many want to make big money in days they will be prompts to such deceiving schemes, I've even seen where by many other people (bots) will be making good comments about a scam doubler just to make you jump in, the only thing that have safe me from all this is believing that nothing is for free

It is funny because i have come across such messages on Telegram a lot of times, and it has never tempt me to invest because the technique is a classic one used by scammers for a very long time, it's just that they are using Telegram this time around.

Telegram is one of the most effective means of getting information related to cryptocurrency, it has helped many amateur investors grow and given vital trading tips to traders.

It gives people a platform to form a community, more like an ecosystem. It's no surprise why Telegram is being targeted by scammers.

Since this was mentioned, has any of you saw on facebook these people thanking a certain Russian woman who do Bitcoin binary trading? I mean I tried to check some of the profiles thanking this woman and they seem legit accounts with pictures of people and their families, and I was baffled by what I am seeing. I do not want to think of these people as fake accounts as they are too many thanking this woman, and then I checked the woman's profile itself and it now shows many people from all over the world tagging her and thanking her with pictures of a bitcoin app Coins.ph showing their earnings. The skeptical person in me tells me that this is a sham.

Whenever a news related to cryptocurrency gets published, it is a must to analyse to the core. There were more and more number of paid articles published on different sites that rate projects. Recently came across the onecoin scam. I read a complete article about onecoin and the way it got turned to be a scam. In the cryptospace we don't know when things get changed and the extent of legitimacy. The positivity spread by the onecoin women is the only factor that attracted millions to invest.

Whether is relative to bitcoin based investment or something else associated with any of the cryptocurrency, it is good to have deep understanding. By this one can easily get rid of fake news.

Yes, it would be very good if we first realized that in crypto nothing is free, so we ourselves will always make careful calculations when making a decision in crypto, because beginners who want to make a lot of money in a few days duration will also not it works if they don't cheat many people here.

If you are an investor you should be good at looking at the news, you should know how to analyze if the news is good or fake news, because it lies the outcome of your investment, if there is news coming up there will be pump or dump so do your own research if the news coming in are all good or bad news, how to check? see the source of the news.

Usually I immediately block the account, it's just a clone account that does spam. I agree with the OP, that it is a scam. They delete a few tweets or posts that fail in trading predictions and leave a successful one. But I am surprised there are still several cases of users who fall into the trap.

Too good to be true news are very dangerous to those who are new to crypto, it's certain that greed will kick in if you are a newbie, the most popular one is doublers scheme, promising to double your Bitcoin or Ethereum and after you made the first deposit it they will vanish into thin air

Yeah this true. Telegram is like scum seat. In bitcointalk you can report them as scam or etc. But telegram isn't reportable unfortunately.

It's very sad to see that these days, there are so many people who still believed in the too good to be true news. Sometimes the experienced traders can also be plunged into the hole that has already made by the manipulators to create a short term hype.

Almost all signal providers are doing the same because they need to attract new subscribers for their house. I guess we must do any big initiatives to spread common awareness against such scams so that people will not fall into these kinds of crap anymore. One safe practice must be we should not listen to any Internet strangers even we are following them or they are in the same group where we are also participating like telegram groups.

Definitely I will not take any investment or trading decisions based on the news I am getting from non-reliable resources. Because, a finance related decision should be done only after strong analysis which must be including both fundamental and technical. When we are having some certain procedure to be followed before every investment thing then we can avoid to be trapped by all kind of scam attempts.

I think we can't give everyone a warning, that depends on the investors or traders as some of them are lazy to make research although there's a lot of information online that are vital to help them make a good decision. These scammers still exist because they still have the market of innocent investors, but let the investors learn from their mistakes so they will learn.

There are really some people who are too lazy to do research about cryptocurrency and blockchain technology for them to be aware on what projects that are promising enough to help them earn good profit, that is why they mostly end up getting scam because of their overconfidence and lack of knowledge that they always think they could gain money by just investing in crypto

If the problem is greedy, it's not only the newbie that will disappear, people who are experienced will also disappear if you put forward the greed in this crypto, because now the fraudsters in crypto are very clever in making new traps.

Even there are already lots of reported cases with this same scheme, people's greed still killing them to risk their money
and patronizing this kind of business. There's still mindset that if you join first the chance to earn still possible not considering
that there are people who will losses their money after you.

I think yes because they won't keep doing it if they are able to get anything from doing it, I mean there still new or not even know what cryptocurrency is and they are the one that can easily be attracted form such scam scheme epsecially in these trying times people are looking for some alternative ways to earn money from being laid off of work.

That was seriously a cheap and obvious trap to scam people. I guess no one that is already here for too long in crypto will be lured by such message foe it is really an indecent and informal way of encouraging people to get into such schemes. Maybe the new ones might be caught into such trap so still it is very alarming to think that such spam messages have been circulating on the Telegram platform. So it is right move to let other people know about this so that no one will be victimized of such act.

At first glance you will be really suspicious about something like that most specially if you have just created your account and received such message. But new ones are still falling for that one since they are not aware that they are being targeted by those scammers that are working on a dirty way just to earn money from other people. We must raise an awareness about this to avoid people from keep on falling into such traps specially for the new ones since they are the one who is directly affected an being targeted by such schemes.

Nowadays, through social media and some telegram communities, by spreading various kinds of fake news about various projects and altcoins, they make them the subject of interest to the people and try to make a huge profit out of it. In some cases, big whale traders try to take advantage of these activities by making the market go up or down which is not understandable to the common traders. As a result, most new traders and investors fall prey to fraud and are inadvertently deceived. So the decision should be made by analyzing and collecting the correct information by checking and sorting without being attracted to fake good news.

Well, some social media and even Google once banned crypto ads because quite a lot of scammer ads are spread, it's just that now they are all back to receiving crypto. because of this, we need to be careful in describing some information, because we do not know which false news allows the market to move.

If someone tells me to inbox him to "change my life", i would instantly be suspicious. His motives of trying to lure you or scam you becomes clear by just looking at the texts he wrote.
If a guy really wants to help you with no string attached, why would he tell you to inbox him? He can just say everything publicly and also help others in the process. Too bad if someone falls for those scam. And some people are actually paid for making those tweets. I am not against paid promotion, but it is the responsibility of those people who promote to check the authenticity.

It's all lies, those who make real life changing money or profits will never go around telling people to inbox them for the strategy, it's simply a way of luring their victims, do not trust such moves

 There are a lot of fake news out there luring people and scamming them , take for instance what happened yesterday on twitter a lot of gullible people fell for it . How could one ever fall for that trash of sending 1 btc and getting 2 btc ? anyone who cares to give back to the society genuinely wont ask you to send money first to his account . we need to be more careful about fake news.

Regarding the theme, it's not to be doubted that many people get carried away by any type of news and rely on social networks to set up their investment or research on. Unfortunately, there are two paths we can take:

First:
Search for information on official forums like Bitcointalk. This path is the basis of everything and strengthens your searches on other sites

Second:
Consult social media and news sites. This path is not bad but you are subject to pitfalls imposed by advertisers with negative intentions.

In general it is very sad to see people lose large amounts of money by reading a manipulative news.

Obviously it is another tactic from scammers and sadly many people still fall for such things even they know that making money is not so easy and i fully agree with your point that if someone is making loads of money why he will even want you to tell you his secret it is just a trap to make people invest in their ponzi schemes where everyone loses in the end.

Twitter has become a very bad platform since a long time ago and facebook is much more safer than twitter in term of security. it was creating by scammers and so many people have been getting trapped caused by that.
This hacker case is rarely happened with FB

Honestly, if you don't have enough experience in this field then fake news will affect you. As we saw it yesterday, fake giveaway news was spread by hacking big Twitter accounts. Many people later sent bitcoin after that trap. So there is no substitute for caution.

I don't belief in good news from strangers online, they are sharing it for a purpose and they are always ready to show you but the truth is it's all lies, in the end money will be asked to deposit in some address and you ain't getting that money back

Well, heavy news will be accompanied by evidence, not opinions. However, at this time rumors say that prices will be higher between December and 2021. Believe it or not, that is news based on speculation. however, I quite believe that. however, many opinions like this are aimed at getting people to panic sell, and we don't know which news will be like that.

I once entrusted money to be used by someone and it was bad, I lost 50% of my money.
since at that time I used my money to trade on my own, I only relied on news and some advice from other people, and it was better than putting your money on someone like that.

Everyone will try to shill their own bags, either its on Twitter, Facebook or Telegram. Trust only yourself when it comes to crypto. At the moment I am sticking with the DeFi craze and riding the hype train, so I am really not too worried about anything else that could distract me on that ride, so better luck next time shillers and scammers.

This is one of the cheapest scam I ever seen since I join cryptocurrency, and is advancing everyday. Have alot of scam messages related to this sent to my email and some are even been sent directly to me on Telegram. I believe only newbies will fall this cheap scam and not and not a cryptocurrency expert.

most of these methods go to strange people or groups, so it's almost always a scam, I see them spam everyday, so just follow good famous people or groups to get the best news.

many good groups in the telegram, you can join in several channels, and follow the news,
fake news is indeed prohibited, but if the bullish occurs usually FUD will come with FOMO

In the crypto world, one has to be careful of the source of information and its authenticity. Not just in the currency or coin trading world, but also in other activities of the world. Greed is what makes lots of people fall for those scam information. This happens more with newbies. Those spammy messages are everywhere these days. It's better those who don't know about scammy messages heed to a warning or get sucked off your hard-earned money. I almost fell for one at a point. I learned.

Instead i will say, don't get moved by any news, either good news or bad news, you cannot be moved, instead you analyse the impacts of the news on the market and determine if long or short term before moving

Those are actually old way to scam people. I agree that once upon a time scammers did fruad with a large number of people by using those methods but nowadays people are getting more careful, they know about it and now most of people successfully do avoid those kind of fake giveaway and fake news

It still happens and it pops up on telegram most times, most especially in telegram community whose admins are not very active to delete the posts that are irrelevant.
Still i do not expect people to fall for such, except someone that is looking for cheap things.

of course not, i will not trust any news if the source is not trusted mate..
such as in your post above, i will ignore it buddy

There are lots of fake good news out there in the world of crypto. It is no longer a strange thing that day in day out we keep having numerous fake news flying around the crypto atmosphere and a lot of people are falling victim of it.We need to be careful of the kind of information we give in to because most of these fake information have caused so many people much grief as a result of being outsmarted by it. If we hear any information at all that seems to trigger our interest in participating in some investments, we must be meticulous enough to make our findings so as not to be defrauded.

The same way social media users on twitter were promised to send bitcoin to some wallet and receive 50% back fo what they send and some people fall for that. i don't think crypto scam will ever stop and it is quite unfortunate that people will still fall for sure scams. till date, many MLM business are out there looking for newbies to scam of their hard earn money.

I never followed this kinda scam news, only new fools could follow it. Every telegram group should add a new banned process like these cheap scammers. To make any scam news, it is also a smart move. Every scam project has the same process, you should send money first.

There will always be a big party who will always try to spread these fake news.
People must try to go to the legit group to be able to get the legit news too. There are so many fake groups in the telegram and this will make people can be trapped anytime. In fact, so many times people were getting trapped by this scam group that spread fake news.

I think that just some scammers trying to get more referral from their link. I usually just scroll the chat and ignore that kind of message in telegram chat.
Unless we know what they are offering, then it is save to not clicking any external links from group chat.

If you invest in any of the projects, following their social media is a necessary as you can interact with the team members and what they are planning to do and i had the displeasure to hear about bad news through these channels when some of the projects fail and i remember running to sell off all the tokens in the past and if you miss those then you will have the ability to be the bag holder, regarding token projects i usually see fake positives than negatives :D.

unfortunately so far telegram and social media cannot guarantee to avoid false news because if there is good news from telegram or social media it is only the work of promoters who have a pope group with many capital traders so that they can exert influence on price movements coin at the exchange place.

It is very bad that most social networks, including Telegram, create fertile ground for the spread of fraud. Telegram seems to me to be the leader in this regard. It is very good that on the bitcointalk forum you can find out almost any information, besides, users always discuss any projects and resources in order to avoid any deception and fraud.

The ability to make the right decisions in trading is an important issue.And at the same time, the right news is very important.In that case, it would never be right to make a decision by watching or hearing fake news.Because the profit of trading does not increase and decrease on a lot of accurate news.

Scammers try to scam in different ways and will always, however giveaway solder inside everything is very popular. At least there are some airdrop people who use it to organize the information of a wallet. I think one should refrain from everything and not fall into any giveaway trap.

Haha, You are absolutely right, believe me, Not on Twitter, but have seen this many times in Telegram.
I usually do not believe in such things, In fact, no one should believe, If any person believes such things, then I think he will fall into trap of scammers.

It is funny, but I wonder how such things will be helping/paying them and yet they go about spamming everywhere looking for whom to defraud, well only greedy persons will keep falling for such kind of scam. Just to add, I think i used to see that in many telegram groups didn't know they have migrated to twitter as well, nevertheless it has been said many times that most giveaways are for fraudulent purposes, hence keeping yourself in check against them is very important. Not only this type of telegram and twitter scam, there are still other types but whichever it is, read between the lines to find the truth.

More awareness and there will be more investors can avoid the scam project.
Telegram has so many fake news and even some scammers were always spreading the phishing site, malware and various thing related to the fraud to scam others.

I don't really agree with that word, some professionals sometimes give some free advice and you don't have to pay for it. Although on the other hand, it is true that methods like that we often see on Twitter with the frills of a profitable trade. I prefer to ignore it because there is no certainty that their trade is profitable. Moreover, we know that not always trading can be profitable at any time.

This is not good news, but a marketing method for scammers to get their prey. But we really need to be careful because more and more scammers lately.

Most of the trending update news now are fake most of the time. But this is just for my own opinion only guys, probably because
this is what I saw when I read the news about  in cryptocurrency. But of course we still need to be wise in reading about crypto news.
Good day to all.

Fake News in the cryptocurrency market is something that we've always seen. We all know that the cryptocurrency market is affected strongly by rumor and news throughout society. I believe that experienced traders and investors know how to double-check the accuracy of the news when they read them. Advice for a newbie, only looking at the news that officially announced and posted on trusted sources!

Well, good news are important and vital; they should serve as a source of inspiration to you and also give you hope that you should never give up on your endeavours to be a good trader. Good news should never make you desperate to earn, invest or sell your assets. Always remember, nobody shares a bad or token loss news.

I often get inboxes like this from 3-4 people on telegram and it can even be said every day, the way they commit fraud is indeed very good and can attract greedy people easily, I'm just lucky because I read a lot of news on this forum so it's not affected

scammers have a lot of ideas to trick some people into their traps. this one is a simple way. but some people have fall into their traps even they just use this kind of trick. when you jumped into crypto world, you will find a lot of fake news. they told you that they can make you rich in a few days and it's a totally scam for sure.

There was a lot of awareness in any telegram group right now and I rarely saw those scam promoters who are promoting the fraud scheme was appearing before. The admin is always banning them when they were spamming the group with the link to their fraud scheme too.

For people who have been here on this market for years or for a while now will surely know on how scam works but for people who do just recently jumped in into this market will most likely be victimized even on the most
classic or obvious way of scamming and thats the sad truth thats why scammers do still exist since there are people whom do keep feeding these faggots. All social media and messaging platforms had been infested by
 these kind of people on where they do spread out their shady links and recommendations just for their own benefit. If you arent making use of your own common sense then expect
for a disaster to happen.

Although it looks funny how those guys have the strength to spam various groups with their messages but what baffles me more is the fact there are still people who gets involved with such things and hence ends up being scammed. One of the things about scams from this type of posts which they spam telegram groups with is that, they attach a very attractive reward which will draw greedy people into clicking the link and the whole thing starts, therefore it means that, once anyone gets rid of greed the person will always disregard scam posts.

i found this kind of traps in twitter, email and telegram. if you ever share your email or social media username in some airdrop or bounties, i'm pretty sure you will get some random mail or chat that want to trick you. it can be a phising site or scam scheme. so, be sure to not fall of any traps.

Yes, this is happening across all social media. Moreover these days hoax are spreading more easily due to social media and people also not taking time to evaluate about the reliability of news but they directly go for action like buying/selling kind of altering their portfolio. This is simply showing their level of responsibility against Internet safety measurement practices.

I do always check about the news with this forum because even I do come across a news, it will be discussed by high rank people then we can simply get that news like a original one. So, reacting to that kind of news will be safer and might help to grow our portfolio further.

I often find fake good news in many telegram groups, fraudulent methods by sharing good news like this are the old ways that are
still effective at tricking newbies. Therefore, my advice for newbies is not to be attracted by the trap of scammers who share success
stories trading or investing. Because not necessarily successful people want to share their success, if you want to profit, just learn
manually about trading and investing knowledge. After that, do the practice to gain experience, I'm sure this method can provide profit.

Do the practice  and earned the experience, it's the very effective thing when you are into this investment.
Newbies are prone to this kind of false / fake news, as they are not doing proper research, before investing
you should learn to analyze what is legit from what is not. Every aspects and every helpful information still
needs to be fully verified before jumping in.

I agree. If i see something like this ill just look up the thing theyre talking about but i dont click links. Also when investing i tend to just give attention to coins and projects my real friends refer to me and not just from some rando on the internet.

I also like that. Telegram seems to be the place for scammers, and many of their efforts have been successful there. The way to avoid fraudulent information on telegram is by not providing feedback to new people who give you messages, especially if they offer certain information. However, not only that, a lot of fake news was used to make prices go down.

The return on investment is possible only on the news.But if it is fake then I think it is more likely to be a loss than a profit.When investing, you should think carefully enough and watch the actual news.Because profit and loss depend on the news.

Most of us can pick out such scam lures and honey pots, though whether fomo or something else can still tempt a few, and the newbies need to be really cautious, but despite everything one does, the more careful one is, the more creatively unique and compelling the garbs of such offers become.

Clearly we need an observational trait when it comes to news. These news can change thr price in an instant if its true but fake news could also rally the price until it was dicovered fake. Most projects they wanted some hype on their platform cause its help on their end. But writers and paid publishers seems to be taking advantage of their fee payment and do this as a hopping job sideline.

Why would someone on the internet is willing to make you rich? In reality it won't happen right which means its just a tap and as you said we need to be aware of the links it could be injected with malware and viruses to steal our privacy data so they can steal from your wallet or exchange or anywhere you are entering from the device you clicked the link.

Surprisingly there are still people who believe in this and go to try it, it is more realistic to achieve a dream will be easier to achieve than in a brief way that does not make sense.

It caused by they were putting their belief into the news. Some may consider that as a legit news even there were so many facts that can proves if that was a fake news. This has already used by so many whales to drive the community and then pump a coin. This also makes a lot of people were getting fooled.

That is actually alarming because of the fact that some people are spreading fake news about something that people can gain from. Those people spreading that fake news are actually earning while they are luring people into their bad society. We should just stay vigilant and think about the fact that nothing is free today UNLESS its an airdrop or something that you really worked for. Nobody gives away free money without credibility.

It's all fake of cause, there are others that will show you good replies and comments from people, this happens on telegram mist times, once you get into such telegram group you will think it's real since every one keeps showing prove but they are all complete BOT controlled by the scammer himself, be strictly careful people

Dont any “good news” that has no proof. For example bounty project like to post fake news. Or post fake partnership or support from someone. Always make a double check. Also dont believe that some famous crypto representatives “are now part of the team”. Scam and fake projects often put John McAffee as their ambassador or mentor in team. This is a first sign of scam. 

Scamers always have various ways to trick their victims especially through fake news and what they offer you does not match the reality. be a wise investor and not wrong in placing your money in any project. My advice is that if you want to invest enough in top coins like BTC, at least this can minimize your investment losses.

Thats why its important to check how reliable the news is. Because good news are not often real sometimes it can be a trap to lure the investors.

So dont believe easily and only follow a reliable sites when checking the latest news regarding crypto.

Indeed, now more and more scammers appear with various types of deceiving people and you must always be careful not to be deceived, and therefore I generally don't read such messages.

I'm very familiar with these scam tricks and what make me curious about them are the offers, they are always too good to be true even if some people are saying it works or they get paid, getting rid of your greed isn't easy but not impossible

Whenever a user or a group is promoting something it just means that he has already accumulated the coin and wants to use you to pump it higher. As simple as that.

Don't get caught in fake news, those who spread good news are already in the game and they are only spreading news to create awareness to lure investors and dump on them, be wise around crypto space

Thats why most  of  the time?we  must trust our instinct instead of others luring us  to  be  trapped.

Yups that why even fooling people  they will do just to  make their coins  pump a little.

Yes, you are right here. Everyday we receive several mail or sms or PM maximum that are fradulent even some times give fake new about a good coin. At primary stage i believed some news but gradually i am avoiding such kind of spamming news. I think those who are engaged with crypto will be very careful about this subject so that they can avoid problems. I can give here some sugessions like

01. Don't open spam mail from mail box.
02. Don't accept spamming sms on Telegram from unknown person.
03. If you got any messages about token of a project you can connect original manager or owner.
04. Don't trade by another suggestion that come to your mailbox.

etc.. thanks.

Digital space has been bombarded with fake information. Fake news, scam, phishing emails and sorts are rampant now in any social media platform. We all should be wise to not get fooled, and to not be gullible even when these people are leading us on just to get our trust when in reality we feel something suspicious. Always be skeptical of anything and anyone online.

People who get excited and invest merely by seeing fake testimonies without doing proper research should be blamed for their actions and not otherwise. How can you see posts by people you don't know, claiming one Mr Anderson or whatever name helped them to earn big in a crypto investment and you sheepishly invest without due diligence. If any crypto investment aside trading of coins promise to give double or triple reward in a short while, definitely its fake. I wonder when people will wise up in this space.

those are tricks to deceive greedy and lazy people, because lazy learners never know how difficult it is to make money on a trade.
This life is very fair, if we learn and learn in depth, we will make money with that. They will never want to show how to make free money for anyone, money is so hard to make so we have to be in control of all our decisions. Don't let anyone invest for or use your money.

Thank god most of this scams are so obvious that almost no one falls for them anymore.
Same with those BTC giveaways by Elon Musk.
Whats more dangerous in my opinion, because its more subtile is the shilling of projets, on twitter, telegram or even here in the forum.
Not because those projects are good but because the one who does the shilling wants to get rid of his bag and is looking for someone he can dump onto.

Exactly, just because some good news that God knows from where, you can't just trust them right of the bat. Doing a proper research and double check them or even more would do you good. The thing is, when people were spreading fake news they are actually making good use of them who feel for the news. They managed to trick you for their own benefit. Double check everything, whether the the news legit or not and make a few comparison with several other similar news.

I think this is an old strategy to scam people but it wont work these days because have learned and already educated with this kinds of scam attempts. No one will ever gonna believe it.

We must be knowledgeable before dealing in anything inside crypto because the main target of these scammers are newbies.
and besides Fake news can be easily confirm here in forum,if you are not comfortable in something you want to enter here better make a thread and ask the community what is their stands about the matter and i am sure answers will come in different way for you to have idea.

Groups with active admins are controlling those scam/trolls. You can barely see such post in big telegram group like Binance etc. It is an attribute of inactive admin or exit scam project group, If such post comes frequently on telegram  group and not deleted, and group not locked, it is like neglected. My only fear is for newbie with such eager to make money in the space, they are more vulnerable to scam than old fellas in the market.

It seems to me that there are no more people who will follow third-party links that promise easy money. Everyone has learned this lesson a long time ago and know what it can cost them. Much more expensive than the promised amount of money.

people who will be caught by scammers have always been and will be. scammers will always become even smarter and therefore even we(not newbies at this market) sometimes get caught and lose money

People are smart enough to follow the fake news that have already created by the scammers, whales or something else. they have already learned a lot of lesson from their past experience about never try to believe in someone although if that was our close person.

With the development in the crypto market, many are taking advantage of its hype creating a lot of scams. Always invest when you know very well about the project. Hyping a project will always attract many investors so it is important that you know deeply what the project is all about and the people running it.

Information about crypto is always updated from time to time, someone who has been following of crypto for a long time may anticipate the fake news. but what about newcomers who are new to crypto, surely they will be deceived by fake news.

I think there are only people who still don't understand how cryptocurrency price movements are created so they are very easily affected by bad news or fake news which ends up trapping many people with bad news that is spread by scammers.

Literally a big scam. its just a post which attracts other people, like they will tell you that stories on what they have gained but they will never tell you the real process. sometimes they use sophisticated words to fool newcomers that's why its very important to be mindful and knowledgeable here,  Therefore, do not let yourself fall into their traps.

You are an idiot if you believe in that, people are doing hype every day and it's your responsibility to do research, that the hype that you read and comes along are all real or just a fake projects that are just making a hype, as an investor you know how to differentiate hype to real projects.

its not wise to call them idiot .  not all people believe on hype and good news are idiots  because not all hyped and good news are fake .

say bitcoin is on hyped again , its true because we feel it but if hyped happen on coins that we arent familiar with , we shouldnt easily rate them as bad if we dont know them yet . not all investors can tell if what are the qualities of each and every projects that they see but most of the time they are only guesing .

Greedy people can't escape this scam trick, not until they become the real victim themselves, I was able to stop trusting too good offers online because I fall for them once or twice, can't remember it's been years, that's why I don't fall for scam till date on crypto world

if you often see messages like that on Telegram, I don't think you need to bother responding. all of that is just nonsense, usually scamers use the names of parties from large companies through any media channel including Telegram. You should always be careful and if you see anything suspicious then just ignore it.

Fake news are always spotted and we can always see them wherevet you go online. Usually they started on some social media and eventually will go up to the bigger picture.

What funny is due to some fake news these could bring a thunder effect on the project topic. Whether its a good news or bad will be seen the effect on its price. Like the last time enjin said have a partnership with samsung. Then the price skyrocket to the max. It seems people are really buying the news.

Fake news with the lure of gifts is the easiest thing to get everyone's attention. And in the crypto world all of that happens often, and the main prey is new people who jump in there, with the promise of a big ROI, they flock to invest, and finally they are caught in a circle of fraud.

News like that are just so many on social media now.  It is definitely the hand work of the scammers who want to dupe the innocent ones.  What I do is that, if I get such through a user on telegram, I quickly report such account as spam.

Anyone saying they earned so much through telegram group or channels are either a scam not or the scammers at work themselves, the only people that can escape this are those who aren't too greedy, those who believe that nothing is for free 

In my opinion, for a long time we should not pay attention to different news noise from social networks! It can distract from the planned tasks and will always play against you! Learn the topic yourself and get your own experience...  ;)

The scammer itself might be the one sending the message, When you are looking to get-rich-quick scheme, maybe someone can probably be a victim

   I agree with you 3meek, learn to understand the market, and how markets work. Experience is gained on forums like this one,
where we can see reputable and older member and their honest stories, we can even discuss with them about anything, and
it's the best way to learn. I don't pay much attention on the news, nothing good comes from that, I value this forum a lot more.

the right steps to avoid fake news follow the official channel of the coins invest right in, we can follow from telegram and twitter media from there we can get correct information so that when good nwes comes and coins rise, we can sell coin it

and in fact it is like that that not many people who are successful then tell the way in detail. I had heard of the news the OP had said and I didn't even bother to read it. there are many fake attacks on social media channels especially in telegram.

After buying low volume coins, scammers make some announcements like top partnership to push the price. I saw this pump process in the older days. Recently people haven't done that because we can find these fake announcements easily. For fake profits announcement some telegram admin do block these scammers. Now we are seeing more than 10 times the pump of the enjin coin.

I mean people who do this are kinda obvious. I just ignore them unless i know them personally. Most of these 'testimonies" sounds bogus anyways since they all sound repetitive.

I dont think there are still believers in this kind of sayings. I see it every day whenever i go to websites it appears like ads. What i do i always ignore it, cause if you click you will redirected to phishing site.

Well, sometimes people just buy the "news" instead of finding out what's really going on. in fact, some people move because only some speculation is not clear. however, fake news is quite easy to investigate when we do in-depth research. well, sometimes the source of the information is not clear, or it is reported without any background.

The right thing to do is to review and do a deeper research before taking your chances, either  you'll just wasting your time
or the chance of getting scam with your money is very possible. There are so many scammers who are hiding from this kind
of things, you should always take it carefully.

yes you are right it is one of the ways scammers to get money, actually there are many more ways scammers to attract the interest of ordinary people. another example that I see is offering a new platform

It's important to do your research about every bit of news. The whole point of fake news is to pump a certain coin and you should look at why it's happening rather than just falling for whatever you see.

Do you even think,bro?

It is clearly a scam practice to try to believe some naive people that yes indeed it works - when you send money you get more back. It is similar to twitter scams where they comment how good process of getting money is.

It seems that it works tough, i constantly get joined in those kind of telegram groups.

It is kind of stories in some smpam group crypto even many chat person at a telegram i, i have already reminded terimkasih askance with spam it is like with too much in addition to the offer by means of instant, of course that made me think about that is a message false

I wonder why some people are still falling into the hands of the scammer, resarch is very important, before trading with people you don't know, because there are many fake people in different forum looking for people to scam.

We should not just believing 100% about what popular figure say, do our own research as well.
This is to avoid regret in the future because there are many coins were tweeted by some popular figures, but no good result until now.
Whether the good news is real or fake, the first thing to do is find out about the project by our own, not by other's.

There are many newbies who are greedy enough to generate a big profit without doing anything are falling to this kind of tactics which is not good because most of this kind of news are trap.

And I really believe that most of the successful people will not bother to share their techniques if they cannot gain from it as they are already generating a big profit to what they are doing. Fake good news should be avoided as much as possible as 99% of them are trap and only 1% are genuine which is pretty rare to find.

Only new ones and ignorant people will only fall for that kind of post or advertisement but we can't avoid it's just like a virus that comes with some good promotions on email or something like that we should be doing research first before clicking anything on the internet or investing to something we should understand how a project or where you invest fully works so you won't be scam easily.

Fake good news can make the price to pump because of people thinking its a big thing and due to fomo.

Before we believe such news we should verify how true it is because it can be a way of scammer to attract victims.

So dont be easily convince because it can be a trap.

Thank you very much, its an obvious scam that is prevalent in telegram group, in fact it's more of a spam that is thrown on different groups. The issue is that most persons still fall for this obvious scam and its quite unfortunate.

 Unfortunately most of the news websites actually gets paid, I was in charge of marketing for this old coin that got abondened and picked up again and I have talked with almost 100 of these news websites from small to big and I can tell you that nobody, and I mean NOBODY told me no, they were all ready to print out whatever I wanted for money, the bigger they got the more money they wanted but nobody said no. So all in all if you want to create a fake buzz around your own coin, you could literally spend money on telegram channel admins, news websites, bitcointalk legends and basically everything else you can think of to make it look like there is a buzz around your coin whereas in reality it is just you paying people to make it look like it.

 A lot of people have been posing on every platform saying all these fake testimonies about projects theyve earned money from but the thing is if it was really true i dont think theyll ever share it with random strangers. I just believe testimonies that people i actually know tell me.

I'm the one who also experienced those kind of fake news since last 4 years. Fortunately so many time i safe myself to be victim of those scammer. Nowadays those are become so common issue, known to everyone but i'm just wonder seeing some people who still believe those kind of fake and face big damage from scammers.

Instagram and Twitter should block the fake rich guys who made millions with day trading, newbies simply fall to their traps. The first question should be when the person checks these ads: Will I sell the trading system to other people if I am able to make a $5000 a month with it? If the answer is no, you can ignore this advertisement and report such posts to save the time of other potential victims.

Blocking all those accounts isn't as easy as we say. It can solve the problem but it is very easy for those people to remake an account and start the process all over again. All I can say is people should be more educated about cryptocurrency or other aspects that are connected to it for you to be protected, Typical scammers/pretenders tell their victims too good to be true ways of earning money. The methods of scammers are being created every day that why a good education can prevent these things to happen.

AFAIK, Social media platforms, and Google started to not accepting malicious advertisements that can harm their users.

yes, in common sense if he is a professional trader it will not be possible to ask for donations of funds from other people, if he is still asking for donations is not he a very stupid trader because he lost money and still begs :D

It really is a scam, an old trick that still works today.

However, don't ever get into it, or you will lose your money. Successful people will only give small tips to the public. Because of what? because successful people usually don't want anyone to be in line with their success, they work hard. And successful people think, if you want to be successful you have to work hard, not just a raw blueprint.

A few tips that will be very useful and can lead to success. it all depends on their personal way of thinking.

There are many individuals in crypto who might deceive you and nobody will assist you with procuring beside your self. Learn and don't be tricked by various venture plans. I will have a hard time believing anything until I check the undertaking Telegram station and see the pin post, at that point I will understand it's coming straightforwardly from the group.

Thank you for reminding me,i think you are right,fake news are omnipresent,and not just spreading on Twitter,telegram this kind of network type,even though our paper media is full of fake news too.So I always take the news with a grain of salt.Not to mention the news that these investments will make money.

Definitely, there is no one accountable for your lose rather than you, and yours only. So be wise enough to check when those speculations or whatever public figure says was true or totat scam. To be honest there's a lot of scammers out there and its your choice if you would allow yourself to be one of their victim. Well you can check a project by first checking the white paper of the project and through your own research you can save yourself to be a victim of scammers.

I usually see similar messages in facebook, telegram and other social media channels. But to be honest i consider all such messages as spam and usually ignore them completely as i have controlled my greed to avoid further losses.

One way or another, each user of cryptocurrency, first of all, should not believe other people's words, but do his own research. This is for a specific cryptocurrency. And if we take into account certain news, as well as forecasts regarding the cryptocurrency market, then you need to be primarily optimistic and believe, if not in new projects, then at least in the most rated cryptocurrencies, which have long been recognized by the whole world and have a strong weight. in the cryptocurrency market.

It's true that most of them are not true usually users who have a lot of experience or been in the cryptocurrency especially in investing will know that they are not true and it's an old ways to trick out the new comers or investors that's why it's important to do a deep research about the project and not just by listening to some users since we don't know if they are real or not.

Honestly, to distinguish fake good news is very difficult, when a well-known media also posts good news,
of course we immediately believe in it, but the source is not necessarily all right,
all we have to do is go to twitter and see the news there, usually official also released news

In this cryptocurrency world still investors think this fake can be true. Free money is never possible in any situation. Although uniswap exchange users got almost 2 million USD. Only lucky people can get these rewards. I do block those scammers who's reveal this announcement. Sometimes I am also worried about some upcoming top coins announcement for these scammers.

Well, it depends on how you term or evaluate your circumstances. an investor does not care about fake news, or fake good news; they rely on the effects of such news on the crypto prices. So i will implore you to understand the effects of a rumour, the effects of a news; and also how it translates to the crypto market.

Always do your own research; and remember to buy the rumours and take profits from the news always.

news is not always true there is news is wrong. investors are not stupid, they must see and monitor the news even though sometimes they fall into the wrong news but they have tried their best because investors spend their funds looking for profits and clearly monitor before they release funds but it needs to be remembered that there are no human beings who are perfect all people know.

Fake news they said runs faster like the speed of light. That's the major reason one has to be very careful with jumping into conclusion whenever you hear any news. There was a particular time a friend called me and told me that the price of Bitcoin is dropping seriously, that it will be best if I sell my Bitcoin then in other to avoid loosing the whole money. I told him that I have to wait a bit to verify some things before doing that. Lucky for me under six hours Bitcoin picked up again. And the little loss was recovered.

In my own humble opinion, greediness has been the problem of many people in this crypto space, how? How can someone be so moved into believing a post which someone makes and then asks for payment while promising an imaginary reward. Many of these posts or fake good news are both on telegram and twitter, and from the look of things, in fact from all ramifications, it seems people are still falling for it hence they are everywhere. People should learn how to tackle greediness, no matter the giveaway, fake good news or airdrop, checking with the team involved should be done first. Lastly, scammers are everywhere and they will keep trying different strategies to attract, lure and scam people, therefore doing the right thing and being far from greed is very important.

Thanks for bringing this up, this happens on Telegram a lot, what I do is to report them. People need to wise up there is no free food anywhere and no one would tell you their secret of making money. The issue here is that most of these guys never have anything to show but a fake Photoshop testimony to lure gullible people and suck them off their BTC most of the time

Fraudsters always take advantage of many ways. The trend that has occurred recently is a flash airdrop, then asking for a number of funds before sending an airdrop. Beware, there are legitimate ones but many are scam and only take advantage of the panic and greed of people who want instant profit.
Don't forget to report if you find a fake account project, this can help other people avoid a scam.

That's natural in my opinion, because the panic in the news that circulates makes them throw away coins at low prices, this has happened several times and this opportunity has been taken advantage of by large investors to buy back, the news is true or not will make investors panic, what's more looking at the market red

It is normal that we sometimes Moved away by news we watched or read but it doesn't necessarily mean that we will allow ourselves to buy
 all the way in be a victim.

Not unless we are talking about bitcoin here or ethereum that we knew will bring good income over the time.

Trusting those who brings speculation or prediction is not  bad but not to the extent that all they say will be our things to follow because these
 people protects their own benefits and that is to bring up those coins they
are supporting.

These scam guys are actually attempting even this style was at that point been known by many, the expectation for newcomers and voracious individuals  still conceivable. They are attempting to continue punching in the breeze trusting that it will be arrived to anybody and begin following  them. Better to do your own exploration and never to engage any type of this messages, they won't help they are  all after with your investment.

this is a classic scam. i have seen it mostly on instagram. Such comments are common on instagram posts related to finance and crypto.

It's an old type of scam, I never cared about the news or messages from other people that I don't even know them,
success requires struggle and sacrifice, it doesn't make sense for them to spread it for free, of course there is another purpose if success is given to other people for free.
some people even believe that if knowledge must be purchased to respect that knowledge,

Up to this point I have spent many years in the crypto market and I have come across a lot of such news.
It is best for investors to check the news and make their own conclusions, do not try to invest on the advice of others.
If there was anyone who could make an accurate statement on this market, he would have become a millionaire and was busy trying to spend money instead of trying to advertise it.

That is really true there are several fake testaments and statements from con artists and scammers just to provide fake hope of having a life changing thing. It is too good to be true which you really need to think twice or even thrice for you to avoid fraudulent and scams.

You are right, newbies are very impulsive investors most of the time, so with the old ones. Even if there are warning given to them they are still buying such fake news luring them. They are easily got caught with their greedy mindset that's why they are being trapped with this kind of bait easily. So it's necessarily not only for newbies but also to old ones to learn more about a project before jumping into it.

True, even marketers only get paid through attractive offers, something must be attractive to people before they jump right in, well this is a big weak point for many of us, most good news are fake, even on youtube you can easily see people saying they make 10,000$ in 24hra whereas it's all a process to earn from your click or buy their products, we should take extreme measures before diving into any attractive offers and good news

Actually I wonder why despite that the post is an obvious scam there are still people who gets deceived by this. I think they are wanting easy money. I don't also why there are no authorities who regulates such posting. That is why it is important that proper research and checkup about the crypto project is important so not to be scammed.

Its really are a scam! And that person who comments it are surely are one of the conspirator.
If only all people think like these then there's no one will be a victims, But the problem is there are people who thinks positively even in false information because they do believed other opinions.
Yes! most of people are selfish it self. So better think twice on why do these person suddenly informing you about their success there should be any motive. And even they provide evidences spect it to be fake ... there's no gain with out pain.

Thanks for creating this post. You see i have come across this kind of post on my Telegram and facebook page countless time. To me t is a red signal. People who are making it are busy making it with their money, they dont look for other people's money to trade.

one of the best advise i got from this platform is that " learn to trade yourself, dont give your cash to another person to do it for you".

It's called fake testament, and sometimes they even come with proof but it's still all fake, the truth is those who make money one way or the other don't share to the public how they do it, greedy people will always feel like ' let me give a try, who knows? ' and their eye will open once they get scammed

if you ignoring an inbox that offering an investments with huge return, you do the right man
my bad experience is i trust somebody that inbox me about a kind of investments 2 years ago, and i lost my money in that time
i learn from my experience, and now i never trust any body that offering me about investment opportunity before i doing my deep research buddy

in this cryptocurrency market there is something like this. example: someone buys an altcoin for the price of  $10 and wants that altcoin to increase the price a lot, that person starts with creating threads here to speak well of altcoin, then stays in the telegram channels to speak well of altcoin to make many people buy altcoin and the price of altcoin increases a lot and he gets a profit of 2X or 3X. Most of the time altcoin is a meaningless project, but as the person bought for $10 and wants to make a profit that person will promote that project everywhere. this is not different from the story that OP spoke. in the cryptocurrency market there are modern scams that people have not yet realized that are not different from the obvious scammers


this is the same question that many people ask people who create youtube channels to teach trade courses and sell their trade courses, the same applies to sports trades that create youtube channels and sell courses for trade tips

Most likely, scammers get your mailbox from the bounty tables of projects where you participate. I have a separate mailbox for bounty projects and other projects, where it is likely that it will be published in the public domain. This helps me protect myself from spam and offers from various scammers.

I know about these trick stunts and what intrigue me about them are the offers, they are in every case unrealistic regardless of whether a few people are stating it works or they get paid, disposing of your voracity isn't simple however not feasible

Exactly right, I found a little trading process but I don't want to share it with anyone. Why should I do it? I was given so many times in this trading. Probably some people know, but I included my little experience. After getting this experience, I want to tell everyone why some people want to share their secret, all are 100 percent fake news.

I ignored them when I never remembered that I attended any of their mailbox specially when it comes to investing just to get their airdrops worth of 1000 dollars. Those who inbox us that seem to be stranger should not be entertained unless you will be compromised when you open the link that they gave to you. Some of the messages can be a malware or phishing site and it might direct you to unknown resources. It might cause your accounts compromised and easily open access to hackers.

Fake news has always being a means of market manipulation.
Sometimes these is done by the whales in order to trick people into buying failing projects or making trades that will only go against them if they hold that position for a while.
So it is always right to verify news before making investment decisions based on FOMO.
Also try to analyze the charts 

We have to be careful with the good news that we read, because there is a possibility that the news is fake. I also often find in
telegram groups that say that someone manages to be successful and rich, then he invites us to invest or promises us to be
successful and rich as well. That kind of thing is just a trick for scammers to trick their victims, be careful not to be swayed by
such an invitation. Because it is very rare for someone to be successful and get rich sharing their knowledge with others.

I also encountered like this through twitter, facebook, and even in my Instagram account. A lot of people showing this kind of tricks and saying they earned a lot from the investment they made. Be wise not to fall on these tactics and also why they need to recruit others? Simply their motive is to scam people.

lol, that kind of messages on telegram are only spam message, even it is not worth to be read. The admin of telegram group usually deletes that. If anyone pm us first, then we should not trusting them at all and reporting them is a good idea.
In cryptocurrency, we should not trust any people at first before we see with our own eyes, not by their testimonial.

Sometimes all those new project will look good until you try them to invest you will now know they are fake project. Some of the newbie involve their self in such act, to later discover they are not real offer but just a scammer.
I don't accept anything that I don't work for,like The way some people call it awful. Awuf is not too good for newbie who cannot differentiate between genuine and not genuine awuf which many fake information has lead many people to loose their coins. I think daily personal research will help not to get move by fake altcoin that is not good for investment.
 

Does anyone still believe in such stories? It is smth like "I take 1 pill a day and I've lost 15kg in a month" and a buy link))) I think that nobody in crypro is so naive))

I saw those so called testimonials on facebook, not a long time ago. And it points to a woman who they said "changed my life". They claim that she is a broker and that she taught them how to be successful in forex and cryptocurrencies and they were able to profit huge amounts of money by following her. There is a link on their testimonial and I do not want to click on that link, however tempting that may be. I just don't want to inadvertently download something into my computer and then bug me with ads for life.

I also ignore spam and understand why people write to me with their interesting suggestions. I always delete such emails immediately without reading them. I have heard that sometimes even opening such an email can get a virus on your computer, and when you click on the link specified in the email, you expose yourself to the danger of being infected.

We live in a world of Fakes. Even the news that is shown on state channels can be fakes, and most often they are. Even the news that we see on independent sources can also be fakes.
Alas, our world is the world of money. And people do what is beneficial to them, not what they want. Therefore, always be very critical of all possible news that arouses your interest.

I love the "fact that successful people don't always like to share the news about how they do it".

we must understand the facts first  :), do not get caught up with the good news without analyzing. maybe it was one of the strategies they devised to catch large crowds and fill their pockets. we must be wise.

Its their way to get the attention of people, they will be convince to check it out and possibly to invest money.

Well its not really new actually, those investors (who are used to this scenario) are just ignoring or taking time to verify if the news were real. So if you dont want to end up regretting your decision to invest then be responsible to not trust easily.

Actually, we shouldn't believe in these types of statements. When cryptocurrency is running low and average, scam people take the opportunity. We don't share our experience then why we would share our opportunities. No one will share the best opportunity, so only scam people can do it and only greedy investors are stuck in this trap.

This is I can say one of the basic modus of scammers nowadays showing off their fake success which I know that mostly of newbies and those people who doesnt have any knowledge about investment getting caught off. Always remember that there is  no easy money and profit in investment because for you to gain you really need to invest and do your own researching. Always keep in mind that be cautious and vigilant to avoid the scam scheme of those con artists.

Of course they do, just not in the format stated in OP. How do they let the cat out of the bag you may ask; It's mainly through interviews on how they made their way to success. That's it, any other means like stated in OP is just a fake good news as OP rightly said and they would be too busy to be out there hunting for partnership from every low income earner or some few financially able on the web. They've got no time for that kind of stress, that's why they've got agents to do that for them. Now the difference is, knowing whom is an agent to a legit firm and a scammer. Scammers have got lots of energy and persistent. They often don't want to give up because, your all they've got to make meaning of their life's while actual agents might just persist for a moment and probably let you be if your very much unwilling.

things like fake news are part of a scam, which has been around for a long time, not only in the crypto world, but in other investment worlds as well. what we should do is not easily believe in such things, do further research and seek information about the evidence and facts. don't be easy to fall for it

This type of news will definitely catch the attention of newbies, who perhaps must have heard some fake news news about cryptos investors who are millionaire now, thus will become an instant appeal to them, however a digging deep and research will reveal the true worth of these news, however it's a pity that a lot of newbies don't make research but easily fall for this type of news until they get scammed before revealing their ordeals which is already late the damage has been done.

fake news like that only to generate market sentiment to make the price move. sometimes you must also see a situation like that happening in a small pump and fast. looks like a trap when many people talk about it but then the market immediately crashes.

in fact, many people sell and buy because of rumors. however, it does provoke a panicky person to take action. after all, I am also one of those giddy people, it could even be said that I sold my assets because I saw some negative news before finally, the crypto price went up. well, it makes me regret it.

Yeah this is not a new scheme, its already an old trick, they want people to FOMO with the fake news that they have and when it pumps, they will sell off and leave those investors.

Most of the people who fall into these scams are just newbies. It's very important to do research in advance before investing in this platform. Otherwise, they will be trapped right away by the scammers. The newbie should understand that making money is not easy as it said. Deceiving people with fake news to swindle them of their hard earn money.

With things like this, of course this can be used as an important lesson for newbies,
they cannot just invest or join the project just like that,
and hopefully in the future they can do some research before joining the project,
because we know for ourselves that there are many projects that end in a scam and that is very unsettling

It was basically a suspicious solicitation and without the need for any research, I would personally immediately ignore it. If there are still people out there who are easily carried away by sentences like, then of course they are people who don't know anything and should learn from what happened so that whatever they will do is the best choice from careful consideration.

This is a problem experienced by beginners, news about anything is very easy for a beginner to believe, that's why someone like us who has been in the cryptocurrency world for a long time provides correct information about this,
I personally created a special group that provides education to beginners, so they don't easily believe in anything and do their own research before making a decision.

people's habits sometimes are based on rumors. so, they panic selling assets sometimes due to rumors. after all, it happens a lot, and some people might think that if you don't sell now, it will be too late. To be honest, I also move around a lot because of fake news. however, it taught me to continue to research what I was holding up. My failure to sell ethereum at high prices was also due to news like that. it taught me a lot.

We should be very careful about those fake good news. They get you interested in false claims and have you join their so-called special profit. Don't be greedy about their fake proposal. Most of the scams or fake good news is all over social media and they target the newbies. So it is very important to do deep research in advance about the platform.

If the news is seen on social media and gives news like that I hope everyone will be careful. Like on Telegram, anyone will find a lot of scammers who are trying to commit fraud. send messages on behalf of a company and offer products or discounts. some even offered to help with our difficulties. know they are all rotten.

Fake good news should be avoided at all costs. They pique your curiosity in false claims and persuade you to join their "private benefit." Don't be envious of their phony proposal. The majority of the scams or bogus good news are spread through social media and threaten newcomers. As a result, it is important to do thorough analysis on the site ahead of time.

yes that's right, many are in a hurry in choosing a target market to invest in, this is an opportunity for a master con man to launch his strategy and target novice players or beginners. This is actually really rotten when it happens repeatedly, I hope that beginners will be more careful with what other people say or ask and better understand and learn for themselves about what market to choose so as not to be trapped by fraud and experience deep regret.

Manipulation is a bit common on this market but not really on the sense that it was too obvious specially into those past years where price can move without any reason for us to look on

unlike now that there are really some sentiment which do backed up on that particular movement even though it might not that precise but still a considerable thing for us to look on.

Fake news or simply FUDS are common and this is why we should really be wary on whats currently happening in the market.Dont let yourself get easily hooked up.

very familiar messages we find on social media, even though sometimes we know that it is a fraud but there are also we see people who are trapped, they usually target beginners, for that we should help each other and provide information about this so that our friends who  being new isn't easy to get caught up in.  success together ...

It seems that things like this have happened frequently in the previous period. Fraudsters are careful while the targets are not careful. It has often happened in cryptocurrency and until now it may still exist but the numbers are minimal. We don't know how long we feel worried about investing here, because fraud does not only occur between investors, there are also many scam projects that promise high pay but to no avail. And I think the colleagues here are working on the best solution.

I think that nonsense has been done on forums for a long time and they even do it on several telegram groups, the purpose of what they do is to trap or lure unsuspecting people into their scams. many scams carried out by them in various ways. be vigilant and continue to watch out for all of us.

It seems to me that there are no more people who will follow third-party links that promise easy money. Everyone has learned this lesson a long time ago and know what it can cost them. Much more expensive than the promised amount of money.

Fake news has been around for years, and they have hurt the development of the crypto market. I have seen news of the author influencing the price action of new market entrants in 2017 as they continuously buy manipulated cryptocurrencies and take losses. Also in 2018 when projects started moving to the Binance chain (other than Binance Smart Chain), fake news about network transformation projects caused many people to similarly lose money. There were a few friends I knew who talked about his loss. Fraud is always happening in the crypto space, we need to raise our guard to avoid unnecessary losses.

Indeed, the more the scammers are here, the smarter they are in trapping people because they do it in various ways,
and of course this is very unsettling for many people so indeed with this kind of thing we need to be extra careful and vigilant,
we also do not easily believe in people and hopefully everyone can avoid this kind of thing

Do not get caught by this kind of false promises especially if it offers such a to good to be true promises to avoid this kind of circumstances. I suggest that you always do your own research, also be wiser, more cautious and more vigilant in the crypto space.

that's of course with what you say, besides that we all also need to protect all the data we have, be it email, privacy or anything else. because most of them scammers only need some important data that we have to deceive us. I think so.
