This user today replied on 3 thread who have problem with Yobit exchange. And yes, he just copy pasted same post and never post according to main topic. Interesting thing is he is asking send him Yobit code with 0.1 BTC. And he is trying to convince that fund will user account, LOL. It's true until redeem Yobit code fund will reflect on user account Grin. But he is asking for code. So obviously he will redeem it. Any Yobit representative will not ask for code outside of exchange. So its clear scam attempt my opinion. Let's check some part of his post.


Please don't worry - 0.1 BTC will be on your balance after we activate your account and you will be able to withdraw it. It needs for the verification process.


4. After you confirm the code don't activate it. Send the code to me and we will complete the verification step.

Let's see his 3 post below.

This only point confirms that he is a scammer. He can just take the codes and withdraw it to his personal account without any problem and YoBit would never ask him if it's his own or not.

I think a ban suits here rather than a red-tag. Good catch @Coolcryptovator Wink

Scam or likely scam isn't moderated by forum. So we can't ask for ban. I have tagged to warn people's who have problem with Yobit. Because this scammer is targeting Yobit user and it's very easy to scam. Yobit code isn't refundable anymore after activated.

The traditional scam school, I checked his account and he was trying to collect some money from some bounties campaigns and when he did not get enough money he got this idea.
Try to scam desperate people by helping them to return their money.
I thought the text was copy/paste but seemed to put some effort into writing it.
