Title: [XLMCAP.com] Possible SCAM: Make a deposit at your own risk
Post by: 27QVUTZj8rgZP1 on January 14, 2021, 01:42:07 PM
Well, it all started yesterday when I received a message in Telegram from this supposed exchange.

They told me I received a prize in Bitcoin of approximately 0.38 (about 14 000 USD).

The message I received from them told me that it was very easy to withdraw funds:

   How you can collect your winnings?

   1.Register an account on the exchanger: http://bit.ly/xlmcahype
   2.Go to settings
   3.You can activate the promo code on the «Settings» -> «Referral program»
   4.Withdraw BTC to your address
   5.Done

But it was not as easy as expected. I can only withdraw funds to external addresses if I make a deposit of 200 USD from that address.

It sounded suspicious to me. So, I am not going to make a deposit to try and get that 0.38 BTC because I probably will not get it (but surely they will get my 200 USD).

   ...let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes,’ and your ‘No,’ ‘No.’
