I doubt anyone really falls for scam like this anymore. One who holds an amount of cryptocurrency should have basic knowledge about managing it, and one of them is never to divulge your private keys to a third party, or use an address which you do not own the private keys to as a means of storing funds.
The scammers might gef a couple of private keys, but u think the wallets would hold little of no funds in them.
Also, do not click on unsolicited links, download apps or grant certain permissions to some apps on your device.
You cannot say so confidently about this. Because every day new people are joining in the crypto currency. Newbies haven’t great knowledge about scams like this. They are unaware of these scams. If scammers were not successful, they would not create scam websites every day with new ideas. Of course they get victims. I posted for those who are unaware of such scams. I think this thread can help them. |

One participant was excluded from the campaign, we will select a person to substitute among previous applicants and announce the new participant tomorrow. This week are no new slots.
The manager says he/she will select a new member from the previous applications. Then why is everyone applying here again? Everyone is so lazy that they not try to read the manager's last post! If you have applied before, no need to apply again . |

Today someone send me a link. In the link, I see chainlink giving airdrop. At first I realized it was a fake airdrop. But I fill up the form (with 10 Eth balance address  ) to see their activities. What I saw, they are trying to steal people's ethereum wallet's private keys. Many may have already been their victims because of their greed. Newbies please remember If anyone wants private key for airdrop they are definitely a scammer. If you notice their domain name, you can understand that they are fake. But many newbie don't look at website url. Website Link:  They first made an announcement about what's going on in this airdrop. This time they did not talk about sending funds, they say to hold funds in the wallet. Because they will take your private key by when you fillup the form .then scammer will transfer your fund to his wallet. Because you gave him access to your wallet. That's why never give your private key to anyone.  Here the scammer is asking for your wallet address and information about the fund. They will not accept exchange wallet address. You have to give your wallet address that you have the private key of the address! Because their purpose is to steal your private key.  Here is the real place. Because scammers are successful if you fill it out. To get an airdrop, they asking wallet private key for verification! I heard this first time! Newbies always beware from such offers they will hack your wallet. Because there is no way to earn such a huge amount free. |

Hello,
Accidently send USDT to ghost erc20 wallet !
I have question, im transfered USDT wrong to ghost wallet. Its possible recover it? Its ERC20 wallet !
Thank you very much !
If you send the funds to the wrong address, you will not be get back funds. Because of this mistake, you have learn a new experience. Never send funds without checking two or three times. Be careful before sending the funds next time. I made the same mistake myself once. Luckily there was a small amount so no major damage was done. Now I don't send any funds without double checking. |

Just to add on what Yahoo62278 said, others could just be scammers claiming to have an account for sale yet they actually don't. They afe just waiting prey on anyone stupid enough to trust them.
I think no one uses this method to cheat, it's not optimal  Everyone knows that buying an account will involve a lot of security, they won't be stupid to lose money, the escrow is always chosen for safe. Not only on this forum, bitcointalk accounts are always available out there, intermediary trading sites. If I remember correctly, I have seen a few people selling accounts on bitify. They are expensive and have no information  There are many websites like https://selly.io/ where people are selling these accounts and I am sure these are fake accounts. There is no way to know in advance, if the seller will scam you after payment or really give you the account. Since the introduction of merit, very few accounts attain Sr / Hero Member status and no ones sells their precious accounts. Yes. Bitcointalk account selling on many websites. But buying an account is risky. The seller does not get caught. But the person who buys the account has a chance to get caught. And if he gets caught, his account may get tag from DT member. So those who buy bitcointalk account, they have higher risk. |

I agree. I believe 2021 will be a historic year for Bitcoin. There are very few days left than bitcoin halving. Hopefully bitcoin will be able to cross ATH after halving. If we think about the halving of the past, then we can understand where the bull market started. Lot of people are now interested in buying bitcoin. As the supply of Bitcoin is limited and demand is increasing, so prices will rise drastically.

It's not just this one. Lot of fake giveaway video is available on YouTube. Scammers upload fake giveaway videos using various well known companies. Editing and uploading video of company CEOs different AMA videos. I think scammers hacked channels with good subscribers, to promote this kind of scam giveaway. I've seen a lot of fake giveaway videos recently.

Since the introduction of the merit system, a lot of time has passed. Tell me, what are the most effective ways to earn merit in 2020?
Create good post then you can get merit. Posting like this, then no one will give you merit. With the mindset of helping others, you will definitely get merit. If your post is not informative, you will not get merit, simple . You have to give something good to the community, which is important for the members of the community. I have seen many members use different strategies for getting merit, but they fail badly. So spend time on the forums and post some good post. The community must reward you. |

It depends on the whole exchange. In fact, it is another way of revenue. They will take the trading fees and also withdrawal fees. However, not all exchanges are the same. Depending on which exchange you use. Many exchanges have seen withdrawal fees asking 0.001 BTC, while many others have 0.0005 btc. So first see which exchange offers better benefits. Must you need to choose a reputed exchange. I have many exchange offer low fees but they are shady exchange.

When I win a good amount, I try to control myself. I stopped playing for that day. And when I lose, then emotion works more and more, to recover lost funds, as a result I lose all the funds later. Since I gamble with less funds, it doesn't hurt to lose it. I am not addicted to gambling so I gamble as entertainment. I think it all depends on the gamblers how they can control themselves.

That means the site was not live when they create the Ann? The Ann thread also unedited. So there is No possibility of inserting the link recently in that Ann thread. Anyway, though I am not a DT  I have already tagged the user. This is very suspicious. They've create ann before, and bump today. By doing this, they has been trying to convince newbie that they have been online since 2018. Scammers want to easily scam people. |

This is important Newbie does not consider these issues when trading. That's why they do loss. Another big mistake of newbies is to open a trade if it loses, and then jump to another. It turns out that the next one also goes to loss. They do not think realistically when they make trade. They follow different people and buy that coin with their full fund of what they say to buy. This is a major mistake of them. Hope the op information helps them.

The exchanges list shitcoin for own profit. They can do whatever they want for their profit. I have seen on many exchanges list a shitcoin that does not even know the name, after listing, the coins are constantly dumped! Don't just blame small exchanges. Top exchanges also cheat retail traders by listing many shitcoin, with huge listing fees.Therefore, when listing any new coin/shitcoins on an exchange, before make trade you must verify yourself about project and team.

You made a deposit on a fake website. Sorry to say, there is no way to get your funds back. Because you sent the fund without validating the url properly. This kind of scam is happening all the time. You should have been careful where I was depositing. If you were a little careful here, then you wouldn't have lost this fund.
