I'm confused where newbies are getting all these non popular platform and exchanges from, if you are using Google search engine to find platforms and exchanges you need to stop now, there is no way you won't be direct to a scam platform, use crypto forum like Bitcointalk to seek advice and knowledge about crypto, this is the only way to avoid getting caught in scammers big games
We've got a hint. Read the post above how it happens. It's all coming from the Telegram groups and Social media networks/pages/groups. A newbie wouldn't search that much if he/she was asked to follow a group that makes them comfortable with information that they give. And also having no idea how the crypto market works, makes them lack of knowledge how to deal with these scams. They trust those people that suggests these groups and websites quickly if they're good in talking just like in real life, when someone recommends you, you're likely to believe them.
And google is another platform that makes them fall into this kind of scam too. Google keeps allowing these scammers to publish ads.
Please be aware there are several individuals working Telegram and other social media forums for crypto coins making outrageous offers to buy coins. It really is too good to be true. They are scammers. Eventually, they will direct you to one of several "escrow" sites that look legit, but are nothing but a store front to steal your coins. They keep setting up new ones more often than I change socks. Chesterpact was the first I found.
Some of theses are transactwise.co.uk, chesterpact.com and exchangecrib.com (two weeks old today). All are run by same group of scammers - so beware. The last one is brand new only registered a few weeks ago and the first two have been around for months and already have scam alerts posted on them. Please spread this word to other coins that you are aware of that have followings on Telegram. Again - happy holidays to you all and have a safe and happy new year. Here is one of several scam alerts......
