قمت بالإطلاع على عنوان المحفظة التى تم تحويل إليها كمية عملات الميم كوينز التى كنت تملكها, ومن خلال القيام ببعض الابحاث تبن أن هناك الكثير من الأشخاص الذين تعرضوا لسرقة اموالهم مثلك وقاموا بنشر تغريدات على منصة إكس تحتوى على عنوان محفظة المحتال, أطلع الصورة المرفقة والتى مصدرها هذه [التغريدة]



من الواضح أن المحتال يدير العديد من المواقع التصيدية فى محركات البحث وايضاً موقع بيسكتوب المسؤل عن تحميل جميع برامج الويندوز والأندرويد والكراكات التى تتعلق بهم, والتى تحتوى على تروجنات وفيروسات خطيرة, فإذا لم يكن تم إختراق هاتفك فربما تم إختراق حاسبوك الذى يحتوى على العبارات السرية لمحفظتك أو أى جهاز استخدمته لتثبت أحد التطبيقات او البرامج من خلال موقعه. يجب عليك أن تحتفظ بمعلومات الامان الخاصة بمحافظك بشكل غير متصل بالانترنت بعيداً عن الأجهزة التى تستخدمها, وانصحك بعمل نسخة جديدة لحاسبوك وإعادة مصنع لهاتفك ولا تقوم بتحميل أى شئ الا من مواقعها الرسمية والمتاجر الشهيرة, حيث أن من الممكن أن يخطئ برنامج الحماية فى كشف الفيروسات.

When will the scammers who launch these websites stop their foolishness? No person with good experience in the crypto space can believe such lies that it's possible to achieve extremely high profit rates as they claim within an hour or even a day or week, with guaranteed and stable profits without any capital loss as they advertise. They declared a payment reserve of $2 billion, which there is no evidence they possess. The fake instant payment proofs they mentioned, along with the links and names of famous platforms and exchanges at the bottom, are cunning tactics used by them to make beginners trust that they are legitimate and deposit their funds. I hope any beginner avoids these Ponzi platforms that are usually promoted by strangers on popular social media apps. Do not trust them; block them.

It's wonderful that you own this amount of Bitcoin at such a young age. I hope that you will accumulate more than that if you really believe in the potential and future of Bitcoin and want to achieve higher returns and if you have an additional source of income that suffices for your living needs. The truth is, it's impossible to predict with certainty what the price of Bitcoin will be in the next cycle, as its next price depends on many influencing factors. However, to reach the profits you determined through the amount you have, the price of Bitcoin must double 4x or more from its current level. However, anything can happen given Bitcoin's price volatility, and even if it's not in the next cycle, perhaps in future cycles, so hold on to your hope and always strive to increase your Bitcoin holdings at lower price levels while adhering to capital management and investing beyond your needs. With a long-term perspective, you'll achieve your investment goal.

It seems they do not have any announcements on the forum or links on social media, communication channels, or online support chat, except for the single way of contacting them, which is their official email.

Their domain appears to have been operational for years, yet most of the feedback and video reviews on YouTube are old, as if the site has been abandoned.

Also, check the attached image; they manage four other sites, and even the site free-ethereum[.]io has been flagged by MetaMask as a deceptive site. All the other sites have poor and bad ratings; see [1] - [2] - [3] - [4].



Also, There is no information about the owners of these sites. They also mentioned the following on the Privacy Policy page on their free-litecoin website:

Seychelles company number 222517 places in Seychelles fully complying with the Seychelles legislation address Victoria house 306 Mahé Seychelles

Through my research, I have not seen a company with this number or located at this address. So I pretty much think it's a clear scam, sad for your loss.

Great another useless token, whoopee.  Please tell me why anyone should ever put theor money into something like this.  Really, long term what does this token do that the thousands of other useless tokens don't?  Hoping to drop your bag on someone?  I can't wait until this pointless memecoin fad ends.
They have crowded the altcoins section with these shitcoins. Most of them have new accounts, and the first thing they post is promoting one of these meme coins that no one has ever heard of before. This may be his first post in the forum, as with the OP. Indeed, you mentioned some rational questions, so there's no compelling reason to invest in one coin over another, as they all lack utility and use cases. Most of these memes are heavily manipulated by their teams and whales. I read news 20 hours ago on Conigraph via this link that Ronaldinho and Messi promoted the $water coin based on Solana. The more celebrities support and endorse meme coins and attract investors to them, the more the meme coins fad continues in the market despite their high risks, with many of them being pump-and-dump schemes.

The phishing domain has now been suspended, guys. The Hosinger team reviewed the report I submitted, and after confirming that the domain violated their policies, they took action against the scammer and informed me of this in the attached message.



Everything is fine now; I will lock the topic. However, scammers may come back with new phishing domains and accounts, so be cautious and ensure that you are dealing with the official site before trusting any website.
8  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Marketplace (Altcoins) / Re: Buying and etherium Genesis wallet(phrase) on: July 10, 2024, 05:53:20 PM
Instead of purchasing an Ethereum Genesis Wallet, which you might find available with a limited number of early adopters on the Ethereum network, there is no logical reason to own this wallet and spend your money to buy it. You can create a free Ethereum wallet using hot and cold wallets such as MetaMask, Ledger Nano X, and others that provide the same features you need as an investor. Also, I honestly do not know how much it would cost to buy an Ethereum Genesis Wallet, but you should be cautious of scammers. It is very easy to be scammed if you do not use escrow services or deal with new members who lack trust and popularity.

The scammers behind Sunxtrade have only used deceptive promotional tactics to lure people to their fraudulent platform and steal the money they deposit. They have promoted their platform on TikTok and popular video platforms by using deepfakes of prominent figures who appear to endorse and support it, touting its huge, easy, and guaranteed profits. They also offer limited-time offers, such as unique referral codes to hasten people's registration on their platform. These referral codes grant users fake money they cannot withdraw without depositing real funds. It is worth noting that there is no information about this unregulated company or information about their work team, and their domain was registered anonymously.

Also, any of the new trading platforms that promise people high investment returns, very high bonuses, and rewards in crypto once they register and activate the referral code are scam platforms, as these platforms will eventually close the user's account, preventing them from withdrawing the fake money or the funds they deposited.
10  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What's Interesting About Memecoins You've Invested In? on: July 09, 2024, 09:58:06 PM
It's interesting how Memecoins developers are using information from internet artists, jokes and fun or popular figures to drive exposure for their memecoins. What is interesting about the meme coins your holding right now or intending to buy. Let's discuss.
Honestly, I do not own any meme coins or intend to buy one of them. Meme coins are not interesting at all; they rely solely on marketing campaigns and associating their projects with celebrities, humorous or influential figures to attract investors, promising them listings on CEX. Currently, meme projects are copy-pastes of coins that have already gained widespread fame and high market value. Nothing is outstanding or noteworthy except the investors who pour their capital into these projects as if the profits they might achieve from these coins are guaranteed. On the contrary, there is nothing guaranteed about meme coins, not even their continued presence in the market. Therefore, one should not raise their hopes high in this high-risk sector, as not everyone can profit from it.

اغلب الذين يشاركون في هذه المشاريع يشاركون فيها من منطلق انه طالما لا يوجد شيئ لتخسره فما الضرر في التجربة.
لا أرى اي أشكال في ذلك، فإن نجح المشروع فسيستفاد الجميع و في أسوأ الحالات لن يحصل المشاركون على اي شيئ و لكنهم لن يخسروا شيئا أيضا سوى بعض الوقت.
هذه هي حال سوق العملات الرقمية. كل ما ظهر مشروع بفكرة جديدة و حقق النجاح، تنتشر عديد المشاريع المشابهة بسرعة كبيرة و لا يكون فيها أي تجديد او تطوير حقيقي مما يؤدي بالضرورة لفشلها.
في بعض الأحيان تجد ان المشروع نسخ و لصق حرفي لمشروع اخر حتى من العقد الذكي يكون نفسه.  التغيير الوحيد يكون في اسم المشروع.
تحتاج اللعبة الكثير من الوقت للضغط على الشاشة وفى حال إستخدامك لها بشكل مفرط ومتواصل على مدار اليوم من خلال هاتفك فإنها قد تؤثر على عمر البطارية الخاصة بك, وصراحة لا يوجد أى ضمانات أن الإيردروب الذى من الممكن أن يطلقوه قد يكون مربح فى النهاية, وحتى العملات الخاصة بهذه الألعاب ليس لها أى قيمة جوهرية او حالات استخدام واضحة مما يجعلها استثمار عالى المخاطر كعملات الميمز كوينز وحتى لا نستطيع تحديد ما إذا كانت عملة أحد هذه الألعاب المصغرة على تليجرام قد تنجح وتواصل نجاحها فى المستقبل أم تنهار تماماً اذا لم يستطيع فرقهم مواصلة التطويرات للعبة وخلق حالات استخدام للعملة لكى تصمد, والجدير بالذكر انه كما ذكرتكم أغلبها مشاريع وألعاب نفس الفكرة ولم تقدم أى ميزات او خواص جديدة لتصبح لها الصدارة بعد NotCoin فتعتمد هذه المشاريع على التسويق الفيروسى الذى يجعلهم يصلون لأعداد مهولة من الاعبين ويكتسبون الهايب.
12  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Adritraderz.cloud - Another Cloud Mining Scam on: July 09, 2024, 09:13:15 PM
All new websites that promise these high and guaranteed profits within short periods through their subscription plans are fraudulent, and we have seen many similar scams with numerous websites following this approach.

By searching for the domain in the search engine, we found a site like Scam Adviser, which highlighted four negative points clearly indicating that AdristradersCloud is untrustworthy. Additionally, placing a Gov.Uk certificate on their site, which we do not know if it is genuine or fake, is not conclusive proof of their legitimacy. Also, the companies whose logos they displayed below have not collaborated with them. These are attempts to gain the trust of potential customers and then scam them.
13  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: One Sr. Member is posting phishing links for the Bitbot project. on: July 09, 2024, 07:32:07 PM
Another phishing link from a newbie. This OP shared the exact same message!
[...]
Good catch, man.

I strongly believe this is the alt account of the scammer @bdivrik, whose account was banned yesterday. He used his Newbie account on the forum to continue posting the same phishing link for the Bitbot project. I have also tagged his account and reported his posts to Mods.

Hostinger doesn't allow their web servers to be used for scams. Report it using their abuse email.

I have already filed a complaint and reported this phishing site to the Hostinger team. For those who don't know, you can email them at the following address (abuse@hostinger.com) or fill out the form through this [link].



Dont know if that is really a Scam or Phishing attempt as the same Link is mentioned in an article on the Newspage for Crypto called btc-echo.[...]
The article already mentions the project's official links. Their official website is Bitbot.tg, as I mentioned in the additional notes above, not the phishing link promoted by the scammer, which is claim-bitbot[.]xyz/app.
14  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: One Sr. Member is posting phishing links for the Bitbot project. on: July 08, 2024, 09:52:16 PM
By the way, I checked out the phishing link, and it looks like claim-bitbot[dot]xyz/ leads to a 403 Forbidden error, but claim-bitbot[dot]xyz/app/ does show a page. To be honest, it looks pretty shady and unprofessional, which is another reason to be suspicious of this website.
You are welcome. Yes, that's correct. I have archived the phishing site above, which contains a wallet connection button, broken links, and links to redirect visitors to the official domain, which has an interface similar to this unprofessional phishing site. By looking at the official links for Bitbot, you will see that the fraudulent domain, which is only 13 days old, is not affiliated with them.

The user has come back on the forum after a long period of inactivity so the user might have re-logged into the forum to gather money by un-ethical means. Also, hackers may get access and use the account to misuse the account. Also, the account might have been sold and the buyer may do these unfair things.
All the scam posts he published, which I reported, have been removed, and his account has now been banned.

Thank you very much, Albon. After I saw your message on my Telegram, I quickly disconnected my wallet and deleted all the cookies related to this site. After entering the site and its strange design, I was a little suspicious of it.
You're welcome. I'm really glad that you read my messages and warnings in time and were able to secure your assets. Once again, never rush to connect your wallet to any sites, and always do your research.

Thank you all for your contributions here, and thanks to the mods for their quick review of the reports and for taking action on time. We hope that the Bitcointalk community remains a safe place, free from scammers and their malicious traps.

16  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Please share some dangers associated with Airdrops on: July 08, 2024, 02:12:35 PM
You have indeed pointed out an important issue: the airdrop field involves potential risks, and anyone should conduct their research and follow safety guidelines before undertaking any airdrop tasks to qualify for Airdrop. These tasks may include opening links such as websites, connecting a wallet, or interacting with a smart contract, among others. It would be best to use an alternative wallet and an alternative phone that does not contain sensitive or important information and data.

I am unfamiliar with the Blum project you mentioned, but according to their official Discord channel and their account on X, they have clarified that they have not been hacked. As part of their promotional strategies, they have collaborated with an artist, "PokrasLampas," who paints in the style of calligraphy. Please check the attached images.

I heard so many legends making money from cryptocurrency, I wonder what they do as I have been actively mining this new coins which I don't know their foundation as per which one will pay. I no longer lack mobile data on my phone so that I can be mining. These things have consumed so much of my data, infact my battery life has depleted due to constant use of the phone.
From what you've written, it seems you are interested in airdrops related to mini-games on Telegram. In fact, these coins are considered shitcoins, and you shouldn't expect much from them nor consider them a promising or safe investment for the future. Of course, any player actively engaged in these games will experience what you have. The disadvantages of using these games might outweigh the profits and benefits you see in the end.

I was happy to buy some coins earlier this year with the hope that when the bull run comes every four years I will surely smile only for me to be discover that my investments are going down drastically. I regret taking that decision of buying, because if I'm to withdraw now I'm getting less than what I invested.
I don't know if there is hope for my investments since bull run has come and gone. The loss will be too much.
I don't know exactly what kind of investments and currencies you have, but the idea of withdrawing while at a significant loss isn't a good one. Through your studies of the currencies you have, you will decide whether you will continue to hold them or sell them when their prices rise again. If you have Bitcoin, there's no need to worry about it. These corrections are an opportunity to increase your holdings. You need to educate yourself and hold on to the key of patience.
18  Economy / Marketplace / Re: Free Browser Tool for Increasing Website Visits and Ad Revenue on: July 06, 2024, 02:29:15 AM
In addition to the obvious risk of having a deal with the OP, I would add another important reason for not using this service, it is fake web traffic. I don't know how much you can earn from a-ads, but fake traffic for any website can only bring problems and a worse domain rating in the long term. Fake and bot traffic will be quickly recognized and penalized by Google.
Anyone who knows SEO well will know that his use of the site published by the OP is 100% harmful, and he cannot succeed in making any profits with this illegal and unhelpful method of generating fake visits. Of course, after some time, when Google AdSense discovers the source of these fake visits, it will stop the ads and suspend the account, and the blog might also disappear from search engines. The OP seems to be looking for BTC donations from members and does not care about the harm he will cause them. His negative trust ratings should hopefully be enough to make people avoid following what he is promoting and ignore him completely.
19  Economy / Reputation / Re: fake bounty campaign on: July 05, 2024, 09:26:53 PM
I am also willing to take a slap if you can send the funds to any of these managers who have shown interest in receiving and controlling the campaign funds. Any of them will do a good job for you and you will not regret hiring them. I am also willing to apologize for the wrong accusation or suspicion and will support the removal of the negative trust. The ball is now in your court to prove that you have good intentions.
A lot of time has passed, and so far @Ceo Sovryn has not placed the funds with any trusted bounty managers or well-known escrow service providers. He disappeared from the forum after his last post here and has not returned since. Therefore, what he wrote here was just a lie to calm the situation. We have seen many bounty campaigns managed by Newbie-ranked bounty managers who, after the specified bounty period ended, scammed the participants and did not pay them a single cent.

Any bounty hunter is responsible for joining bounties run by managers with long experience and a good reputation in the forum and verifying the credibility and legitimacy of the project being promoted. They should also verify the project team through their official links regarding the bounty, whether they actually launched it, or if the bounty manager did so on his own for one reason or another.
20  Economy / Marketplace / Re: AI related scams and their solutions on: July 05, 2024, 07:05:29 PM
Sometime it looks that AI can do more harm than good. In bad hands this powerful tool can make so much damage. Like your mentioned deepfakes, now it's so easy to make quality deep fake. Very simple example, put words asking to invest into some random scam and let's take Musk as example telling such words. Just imagine how much money scammers can get in such way.
The percentage of fraud using deepfake technology has increased, and this is due to the lack of awareness and knowledge among people. Since it was a new technology and many had not known it before, its effectiveness has increased recently. I have noticed many accounts on social media platforms, websites, and projects that use this technology to produce videos of billionaire Elon Musk and other prominent and well-known figures to deceive people and make them trust their fraudulent schemes according to what they have seen and heard in a realistic and high-definition manner. However,  if those who were scammed had previous knowledge of this advanced tool used by fraudsters and had conducted their own research, they would have been able to uncover this professionally and cleverly designed scheme. Now, everything can be falsified and imitated in a more than excellent way.

It is good that companies like Sumsub have provided effective anti-deep fake technologies, such as in-house pixel analysis and pattern recognition. We hope to find other solutions and technologies that will make a difference in deterring the abuse of AI technology.
