Beware, Traps from scammers via Telegram Groups

[Cling18]

I have encountered lots of fake Telegram groups already and this kind of strategy would only affect newbies. That's the reason why we're always advised to be smart and careful all the time. We should always be observant because scammers will always try to catch our attention and trap us in so many ways but we should always be smarter than them. Knowledge and enough information will always be the best weapon that we could have against them.

That's an old trick and the scammer was putting the code to make the ethereum that already sent to that address will be automatically withdrawn to the destination address,
I have ever seen that function before but I forgot what name of that function.
I guess it has ever explained on the ethereum stack developers about the name of the function. It's an old trick but that needs a high skill programming.

Be aware and not to fall right away, newbies needs to practice that kind of attitude. There are so many scam attempt that's really
tempting in your eyes.

Scammers are good providing alluring offers, and that's the right term they are very good catching out your attentions and once they
already seen that you are already falling they won't stop till they trapped you up.

Lol, I don't know why but this whole "telegram" groups are filled with scammers and spammers. Best to avoid them and join groups that are extremely trusted. If there are other options to join instead of telegram, join those.
Those who deposit coins on other wallet with the hope of "getting those tokens/balance" are plain stupid. They deserve to get scammed for being this idiot (and greedy). At least they are going to learn a lesson!

I don't plan to be mean here, I'm just been honest, every persons that deposits into another person's wallet after importing their private keys are scammers themselves, they are simply trying to steal from the owner whereas the real owner is a smart king himself, what a sea of thieves conspiracy 🤷‍♂️

There is a proverb that goes ‘you cannot cheat an honest man’ and this is a perfect demonstration of that principle, it is obvious that if there is a private key out there with money in it and it has been out there for some time that this is a scam, the scammer will send your coins to another wallet as soon as you deposit in the wallet and he can do this faster than any human as he most likely has a bot that as soon as those coins get confirmed he will move them making lose those gullible people money in the process.

Every mediums had been infested out with scammers not only on telegram but also in other social media platforms as well which are pretty common.
I have seen this scheme before and just like what some dude or replies earlier that this wasnt so old and a bit new for some people and due to their
greed then it is just normal for them to deposit eth for them to pull out those shit tokens into that wallet address since they do know the PK
then thats just really a bait for someone to make or fill it up with ETH but sadly those would be sent out automatically or snipped out once
those coins credited into that wallet. What a wise thing that those scammers do invent on.

[preikaler]

actually this is no longer a new way and I in 2017 saw a lot of private keys hanging around in telegram groups at that time, logically sane people would not give out their private keys because it was very secret, if something personal was published there would definitely be something afterwards, don't be greedy and be careful guys

I agree that anyone who tries to use private keys to access another person's wallet to get rich deserves to be scammed as well. What were they trying to do when they got their hands on that account? They were trying to scam that person as well, they wanted to make sure that they get in and take all the money in it and get out, that is what they wanted to do. What happened? They got in to scam but they got scammed instead. Hence why I think it is quite important that we do not let them know, let all those who want to use this private key to get access and get rich end up getting scammed instead, that way they would learn a very valuable lesson to not try to scam other people.

I can't feel sorry for anyone who got scammed on the way of scamming someone, this is a good method to scam anyone, only steal from people who want to steal from you and not from innocent people.

I don't think people should be surprised by this, and this is a lesson that Newbies to the space need to learn very fast, there is no free money anywhere, if your tokens is not in your wallet ,it is not your and never send your private keys to anyone. I want to enjoin you that they will be many good opportunities, so don't get greedy of gains, if it is too good to be true, it is not true.

I found this Private Key: 07275560b35064a1c3ffdaefa69fee2a7176cae53397ae4e7b29138b45384337 on several telegram groups, with a very tantalizing total balance, but on this occasion I would like to advise newbies not to deposit into the wallet, because some people have tried to make ETH deposits to take away tokens was in that wallet, everything failed because the ETH balance was immediately lost, so Please be careful of these kinds of things.
Private Key : 07275560b35064a1c3ffdaefa69fee2a7176cae53397ae4e7b29138b45384337

I see in the picture are minereum tokens these coins are locked (by the way I have lots of does on my wallet LVL 1) you need to upgrade it to level 3 so you can transfer it to another wallet or to exchange it, even doe you have the private keys of this wallet it is still useless you can't move or trade this coin. This is just a trap for newbies and for people who don't know about this type of coin🤣🤣

[TanakabZX]

As old as this scamming trick is I'm surprised it still works till this day, it shows that human can't be separated from their grids, they can only learn to control their greed, people need to understand that there is no such thing as free money in the world today, there is always something fishy about free money

I think minereum is a scam token, everyone was given the free tokens at first as if it's real airdrop but only to be told that they need to upgrade levels, how is this a real project? Have you seen anyone that upgrade to LVL 3 and was able to sell the tokens? The team know what they are doing

[skarais]

In my opinion, this type of scam is still an old type that is still ongoing today. But the thing is we never lose the greedy people who easily believe the effort of these con scammers. There are so many new transaction recorded on the wallet that somehow it keep trying to transfer the token from the wallet by sending a little bit of ethereum for transaction fee.

It might be pointless to warn these people that if they were still greedy enough, it would become an undeniable part of human nature. OP, good job. Do more thing that benefit society even though in the end greed is hard to control.

[Ryushin]

Depositing in someone else address makes you a scammer, using sear search engine to even search for others private keys says what you are, anyone that falls victim to this scam deserves it 💯 , you work hard to earn money because there is no free money, idiots

[traderethereum]

Even if that is an old trick, that can works for the new people because they do not have the right information about that, and they can be easy to deposit on that wallet.
If they do not search for more information, it is hard for them to prevent scammers and lose their money.
People who are greed for making a profit instantly will also get into the trap without thinking too much if that is just a trick or real.
I hope that we do not get into that trick and we can protect ourselves from the scammers.

The most important point is not to rely entirely on Telegram. It so happened that scammers chose Telegram for their gray schemes. Well, beginners should generally use an Internet search to double-check information about any crypto projects. But if you listen to the advice of experienced users, you can avoid meeting with a scam.
