Hi friendz, I am creating this thread to save newbie member from Scams. Please share ongoing scam that you spoted I am sharing here few scams that I came to know in past few days.

1) GRAM Token (Telegram ICO) (TON.FUND) - This looks pretty real and well done, but the site https://ton.fund/ is SCAM and it is NOT from Telegram!
2) Gainbitcoin/MCAP/Bitcoingrowthfund: There all are scam currently online by offering attractive deals as mining contracts. They have cheated all their previous mining cusomers and now started with a new website and name.
3) Airdrops: 99% airdrops are scam and launched to steal your email and password that you are using for your wallets etc. Recently I saw DADI token airdrop, when I caontacted DADI they tols me that there is no airdrop.
4) Yesterday a bot account with same ICO admin avatar and name contacted me to deposit directly in ETH address to get 50% extra bonus tokens. I conveyed this to main ICO chat group and came to know that its an scam bot.

This one was just posted on this Beginners & Help board, it's related to websites that look like legit Bitcoin or crypotcurrency wallet sites, but actually may be fake and trolling for your password. If you think this warning is useful, some some merit this guy's way.




Be very careful where you enter your login data! HTTPS means nothing anymore.
Do you notice the small dots(.) below the letters n
If you enter your password in a fake site like that your coins and money are gone. And always have 2 factor authentication activated.

Stay Safe
