1  Other / Beginners & Help / Noobs! Beware of d'ling free bots, apps, btc-e alarms.Most are wallet stealers! on: May 18, 2013, 05:10:44 AM
This might be obvious to most of you, but there are a lot of people who are offering bots, exchange "alarms", widgets, apps and the rest that will supposedly "help" you with your trading, or see the price and so on. most of These are just wallet stealers in disguise, that will at best steal your funds and at worst steal your coins and FUCK up your computer.

 I have seen many have their funds stolen after downloading such stuff. If someone is frantically messaging you trying to get you to download this SUPER AWESOME BOT/MTGOX ALARM, etc. DONT DO IT.

There is a lot of scamming going on like this in Btc-e, among other places. Don't be another victim. also, make a secure password with numbers and letters and symbols. *&1Ruf12)(#ff!!   would be a good password, don't give them something easy to crack. Best of luck out there.



addendum.
Now don't get me wrong there are some things like the night extension for btc-e, and online wallets and faucets that are made by genuine people that aren't out to scam you, but listen to your gut, and be on the safe side always. NO ONE GIVES AWAY BOTS, anyone asking for your email address, or wanting you to click on a link and phish out your login info, WALK AWAY. After awhile you will see who you can trust and who has been around the scene for awhile. Another thing, someone can spam hundreds of posts a day and look like a hero member on here, that does not give them ANY credibility. Beware
