Never ever send any ETH/BTC to a wallet given to you within telegram or elsewhere by people pretending to be support/admin!

thanks for the reminder, the scammer is really annoying because there are many victims. so maybe these scammers will be late for them not to have other people's head yet.

Proof is everything based on my experience i tend to ignore everything if the service is kind of sketchy never trust anyone with your money before sending anything ask for more informations gather it so you can know if it's legit or not basic resrarch101. Don't be fooled by others if they don't have a clear transparency towards their business or service. There are so many victims because they refuse to learn anything and speculate something,"check before you click"

Thank you for reminding us. As of to day scammer are every where they are always around and waiting for the proper timing to bait anyone that has no idea about them. Many scammer now are sending they ETH and BTC address to anyone and offer they services and support to you and they pretentious that they are one of the admin. And again beware to the scammer.

You wanna express yourself more? What is the issue or is there anything that you came across and got scammed or something. Because if that’s the case then you should open up really that will help everyone here to understand the matter deeply.

We already know that crypto is full of scammer if we don’t take care of our things. Just a single key can open doors for millions of dollars and lead towards scam.

There had been many reports in the past like this but they did explain what’s the issue. I remembered one when there was phishing of MEW was hot topic. The fear came in when many people lost their keys after inserting it into web page which was similar to the original MEW (that’s phishing).

When the issue was raised  a lot then afterward we saw new pop ups from MEW sites to stay cautious.

This way we can help each other. Good that you are making us aware but do make briefe conversations. :-)

I agree. I think many get scammed or hacked in this market is the fact that many wants to get easy money. More and more people seem to want to jump the gun and be rich quick. And, that the exact attitude that scammer want to exploit. I have a friend that got his wallet hacked because he tried to enroll in an airdrop where they asked about his account details. Unfortunately, he didn't think that the link with which he needs to sign in is actually a scheme to steal information about one's wallet. In just a couple of hours, the holdings in that wallet he gave to was all ripped off. I think just be cautious with all your dealings. Scammers may hit any time.

Actually, I already encounter those kind of persons in FB, they will ask for your btc address to become one of the lucky persons who will receive their giveaways and it's alarming to know that many people get hook into it. How come that a stranger will give you some coins? Weird right?  Huh

But I wonder, what is the significance of those addresses for doing their evil stuffs?

this is like a slack case a few months ago, they can access our wallet by inserting a fishing link. very dangerous.
This is a new motive unless the bounty manager asks for a payment.
it may be accountable.

You should be. Dumbness should not have place in this kind of environment. You must stay wise, think critically, observe before making decisions and clearly understand it first before trusting. Scammers are everywhere, then you should protect what you need to protect.

Its not new anymore about slack phishing links which this issue been busted for last year as far as I remember which this lead up on losing lots of money because people are too careless on putting up informations or sending out in wrong address on the funds should be putted on ICO investment this is why most projects as of now are preferring on using up other medium when it comes to communication.

Yes, thank you for the reminder. I only send BTC to reputable wallet, many users. Never believe in rumors of people about unknown wallets. In the crypto market there are many risks. I think we should be careful not to lose bitcoin. Many hackers are trying to attack the wallets in any way. Everyone be careful.

To be honest we can't see them coming, but there is a way on how to know if the one that we are going to have a transaction is a scammer or not. The number one rule for that is not to trust someone so easy on the internet just because he is speaking like a professional, that could be a way of scammers online on how they scam people, by using sweet words. Second is that you have to ask some legitimate proofs that they could be really trusted before processing a certain transaction for example.

They are really flooding the ICO's telegram group just to scam people these days, I'm so mad at them when I first encountered a scammer that pretends to be the developer of the specific ICO ask me that in order to get the pre-ICO tokens and bonuses we need to send the payments to the provided wallet addresses, good thing the group facilitators and devs intervened with the conversation banned the scammer then put a pinned message to their telegram, what the first experience with ICO well all things works fine after that, always follow the contribution procedure on their website.

Agree with this and I already do that since a lot of MEW users get hacked. I don't know why people choose to become scammers because it's not a good way and make other people lost their money. Thank you very much for your post, short and has value.

Should have posted at least a tip to where they could go.

Announcement threads here with links to their website is the best choice to see legitimacy. Besides, we have good moderators here that will see the scams.

But in telegram I have seen a lot of them that are robbed by this kind of thieves.
Sure they want easy money and they are lurking all over and even here, most of their target are the newbies.
I guess when you really care about your money to be invested in a good ICO then you better do the right steps. Too much excitement will just make you broke.

that's true! scammers are very annoying. If you received email that you are not familiar with it then ignore and delete at once. Never disclose your eth or btc wallet to anyone.

Am already aware of scammers and also thank you for remaining and guiding me. We should always think twice and many times before taking a decision to trust, so that we can avoid by getting trapped into scam and loose our money. Never ever share your account details which is the first step in scamming
