my name is Curveball. IRL i am a bank teller(the irony right?). i got interested in bitcoin a few months ago and its been a mostly positive experience. Until i fell for an asic scam, and the scammers used my private info to scam me out of my hard earned(and bought) bitcoins. just a heads up to people do not fall for these scams. they will get your private info for shipping and use it to extort you. i went ahead and paid the "ransom" and they have left me alone, but the thought of knowing someone out there with my personal information is quiet disheartening . Still, i won't let this deter me from bitcoin. i'm just giving you the heads up, cause once you get caught in a web with a scammer who has your personal information, the only thing you can do is pay the ransom or ignore them risking they steal your identity. Be careful you guys.

Hi Curveball,
Can you please explain more details how they extort you? By just having your personal details?
Name? Address? Telephone number?
I don't really understand how the scam work, but really want to understand it.
Thanks.

So you paid them to delete your personal data, obviously without any proof they actually did delete it? Not very well played, if I may... |
