741  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: please help me? on: October 30, 2023, 11:05:19 AM
I have connected binance team. They are sure the money is on his site.

They gave me a lot of helps.

But as you know, I can’t say more publicly.because the scammer is also watching. I wish you all understood.

It’s a real lose,no joke.

Details will come after the case having big progress. If you have any good idea. You can reply here. Or message me. I’m not going to reply immediately but I will reply all private messages.

Thanks again all good guys. The money lost is really important to me. I’m sure the scammer has a lot bitcoin.and 0.1 is just a small amount for him(her).but it is all for me. It is a family’s cost for a year here.how I wish you can return it back!silently and friendly. Just return back to the original address.

Supposing what you're saying is true, I doubt the scammer will return it just because you pleaded them to as there is no incentive for them. If it does, we would have seen significant drops in scam damages. Further, it's unlikely to get the community's backing and/or valueable tip from someone if you're being vague af.

Since the btcs sits and/or passed by binance, has the support told you about this self help article? see: https://www.binance.com/en/support/faq/how-to-report-stolen-funds-transferred-to-binance-360000006051

-asking because their support can be a raffle draw

Mind you, no legit exchange or service would ask to deposit a huge sum first before you can withdraw. This is an extremely common scam scheme and should be noted for future reference.

I also see that someone was advising your friend? did this internet stranger randomly slid to your friend's DMs? since scam DMs are very rampant as well. Pretty sure the "Mary-jane mcquillen" persona is affiliated with the scam website. Perhaps try to plant some seeds with this persona--lies? something like, your friend is starting to have doubts with trade medex cause they can't withdraw so friend is cancelling his plan of depositing an even larger money e.g. 6 digits lol.

I decided to investigate after seeing a promotion on a platform "X," and upon visiting the website...

You know what they say, if it's too good to be true, it probably is 😌

Also, I suggest breaking the links on your post (make it not clickable) so you do not contribute to the scammer's backlinks.

Quote from: op
Disturbingly, individuals who attempted this approach previously warned of a potential smart contract backdoor, though they've since deleted their messages. What's more concerning is that this dubious information is actively being disseminated via Telegram.

Ohhh that's indeed strange as this is such a blatant scam. I imagine such people wouldn't need to think hard in order to say it's a scam. I wouldn't rule out the chance that they're accomplices or smth.

and telegram being telegram, amirite? lol
744  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Upbit Got approval In Singapore on: October 20, 2023, 08:43:15 AM
According from the article linked, it's only an in-principle approval and not a full license type of approval yet-- different from what CB had.

Upbit Singapore on Monday said it received in-principle approval from the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) for a major payment institution licence under the Payment Services Act, which governs crypto players.

... Mr Kim added that once the exchange receives the full licence, it would exit from its current “stealth mode” and increase the list of digital assets available, along with liquidity and institutional offerings.

I would note it so it's not misleading. Nevertheless, it's still a good news for Upbit SG

The situation at Binance reminds us of a familiar tale: FTX. Is Binance headed down the same path? 

To be fair, SEC is targeting every established US exchanges though one could say binance is getting a lot of points in particular. I wouldn't say this reminds me of FTX though, which collapsed because of fund management/accounting issues and eventually turned insolvent. In addition, this is only their US arm.

However as a precaution, you should always consider the possibility that your go-to CEX could crumble at some point hence tread your actions carefully. Most common advice is to not use exchanges as a means of storage.

3500 cuban peso is actually 147 USD~ according from xe.com though this wage still sucks

You can go to micro earnings board, see: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=212.0
quick disclaimer: I'm not saying you'll find the exact figures you're looking for but it's good place to start lookin'

Honestly, I don't really recommend spending many hours on faucets every day as you're better off learning a new skill with that.

The general rule is to err on the side of caution and stick to established/reputable companies.

In addition, Pi network is another scam hence their words doesn't hold much weight and should be stayed away from as well, see: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5237735.0

You can try to start with https://learnmeabitcoin.com/ and https://bitcoin.org/en/ as they are beginner friendly.

In case you wanna look for more resources, try at https://www.lopp.net/bitcoin-information.html

How can you benefit from the technology? depends on what you want/can. I myself went with the easy route of just hodling in hopes for the value to increase over time and as a fall back plan for the growing inflation.
751  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Binance Freezes 190 Accounts Related to Hamas - What Are Your Thoughts on This? on: October 14, 2023, 11:59:11 PM
Does this incident urge a stronger shift towards decentralized exchanges?

Honestly, I've only seen the chances getting significantly better when an extremely significant number of innocent people are negatively impacted. Emphasis on innoncent people as I'm talking about false positives. and I don't think both the old and recent ban wave meet that.

I believe big hacks and exit scams still have the strongest impact when it comes to enhancing the odds of making people look into dex or non-custodial alternatives because more regular users are typically impacted all at the same time hence more buzz. But ofc, I'm not gonna wish for hacks and exit scams to happen lol.
752  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: FIRST STEP IS DIFFICULT OTHER 9 STEP ARE EASY on: October 14, 2023, 09:43:46 PM
I believe you already did the first step but if you're still having a hard time navigating the forum, try the 'help' function.



Another thing I can suggest is to always read the sticky thread/s of the board you're interested in cause they're pinned for a reason. Someone has compiled a thread about it for convenience, use it as you see fit, see: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5279088.0
753  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Possible fraud on: October 14, 2023, 07:58:55 PM
Thank you for the advices and I'm sorry for leaving link in my message. By all accounts, I ran into a very good scammer on Tinder, who led me through the story to invest in the 60 seconds cryptocurrency trade. The person introduced herself to me as Anna Shayk (a Russian woman living in Madrid).

Oh that's very popular romance scam. If you look up pig butchering scam, you'll find the same kind of story. As a precaution, any internet stranger who ask you to invest/trade are up to no good. But the earliest sign of caution is too good to be true background-- super hot + super rich lol.

Quote from: op
The person also has an Instagram profile annashayk1986 with many photos and she even sent me some videos of him.

My guess is, it's someone else's identity and/or they have used certain technologies e.g. photoshop, ai, deepfakes, etc.

Quote from: op
Luckily my money was not stolen so I thank everyone and this will be a good warning for me to be more careful in the future.

Good job on researching first before pulling the trigger!

Plus you should be careful next time, crypto rule: no real women on Tinder Instagram and Telegram.

Wait wdym? there are actual women on mentioned platforms but of course, not all of them have good intentions or aren't catfishers.
754  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Bitstamp selectively scamming again? on: October 12, 2023, 11:16:17 PM
This is not verification, I'm already verified. The old ID has an expiration date and when reached they froze the account asking for new ID.

Yes, I was aware but was thinking of a re-verification or some sort as that's typically what I see when it comes to updating KYC information in exchanges.

I am not making this post lightly. Support says photos need this, please submit photos with this to unfreeze; after I submit photos with this, support now says photos need that. Been on this for months now.

For the sake of discussion, could you share your conversation with their support as well (blur sensitive information)? and might as well move this to Scam Accusations board.

But that sounds horrible. I'm assuming you've already sent another email to bitstamp addressing their past actions--how it's just going in circles? Unfortunately, I don't have any other suggestions aside from making noise in crypto communities.
755  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Futures trading in USA on: October 12, 2023, 10:21:43 PM
I heard that Kraken still alllows it for some users in the US. I don't know how they are able to allow future or margin trading when it is banned in the US  Huh

According from kraken's support article, futures trading is restricted in the USA with no exceptions, see: https://support.kraken.com/hc/en-us/articles/360023786632-Kraken-Futures-eligibility

I say no exceptions as there is no asterisk beside USA to denote if there is any unlike other countries like UK.

Margin trading however is okay but only if you meet their criteria, see: https://support.kraken.com/hc/en-us/articles/360061972272-Margin-trading-and-Eligible-Contract-Participant-ECP-self-certification-for-U-S-clients

So perhaps what you heard is about margin trading?
756  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Bitstamp selectively scamming again? on: October 12, 2023, 08:43:17 PM
Before anything else, can I affirm you did some basic troubleshooting in your attempts?

- the ID this time has not expired
- images and its text are clear
- all four corners of the ID can be seen
- information on the form matches with the ID (if any)
- no multiple attempts in a very short period of time

If so, what about asking their support? what did they say?

I've no idea if this exist in bitstamp but some exchanges have a manual verification in case their automated verification does not work. Try to see if you can request it if everything else fail however, I would imagine it would take long  Undecided
757  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: KRAKEN - SCAMMERS on: October 12, 2023, 08:06:44 PM
I don't understand why they can't just let you withdraw your funds on their platform. The whole asking your bank to refund you seems roundabout. I would try to get an explanation for that.

In addition, try to post in their subreddit and see if they can escalate your case, see: https://www.reddit.com/r/KrakenSupport/
A bit of a warning: be careful of phishers, always verifiy you're talking with a legit kraken support agent!

A quick skim on their subreddit and I see a lot of people complaining about closed accounts, so perhaps a ban wave more than the usual? though I don't see so much of it on twitter hence I can't say it's highly likely.
758  Economy / Service Announcements / Re: Cryptomarketing services are they always scams? on: October 11, 2023, 11:26:15 PM
Personally, I don't like to call us "shill team", "shillers", "shill" so from the start, we called us "Influencers Team" or "Influencers services and members of the team we call simply "workers" because what we do is totally different from simple shilling as everybody understands it.

There was a problem when we used "Influencers team" instead of "shill team" in our marketing materials because customers simply didn't understand what we were offering. They thought about influencers with big SM accounts and following, but this is not what we offer.

Because of that, there is no other way as to use that nomenclature and call us simply "shill team" or "shillers" despite the fact that it is wrong and there should be some new name created. Recently,  there have been so-called "chatters" and this reflects the meaning of our work much better, although still not completely.

Sorry but, calling it "shilling service" instead just made it worse...

For starters, "shills" is a straight up a derogatory word which is typically used to describe people faking interest or positive feedbacks about a product/service they secretly work for. So of course, if you call it "shilling service", people will associate you with that and be needlessly alarmed.

Perhaps you can add more yourself? since the list is new, I would say it's actually good to fill it up with a good amount of entries first in order to attract userbase.

I saw you have categories for VPNs and Mixers so here:

In addition, kycnot.me also has a services section, see: https://kycnot.me/?type=service

Quote from: benalexis12
Is that correct? If that's the case, has anyone been able to demonstrate that FTX victims have already gotten or obtained their long-awaited monies from FTX? It's almost as though I haven't seen anything that demonstrates they have regained their money that they invested into FTX but did not withdraw.

That's because it's too early.

One thing for sure is there will be a long ass process-- kind of similar to mt.gox. And right now, it's is still at its early stages where they're still gathering and confirming claim entries so it's no wonder you're not seeing anything of "i got my money back" posts, not to mention, FTX case is still going on and they're probably still scraping for stuff to liquidate.
