First, am always happy when scam methods are exposed. It helps others who are vulnerable to be on their toes. But then to the main point here, this story doesn't quite match up. First someone sends you 'an' old etherium private key he 'found'. So the keys may or may not be his, he sent it to you and you thought to transfer tokens out of this wallet that is neither yours and probably neither his?? At this point, I don't know who is scamming who. But thanks anyway for revealing these methods so we all can have our eyes open.

thank you for sharing this experience to us, its always be an big lessons that dont trust anybody who ever it is, especially people you don't know very well. scammers are just waiting some good opportunity to attacks. people that are attract with an easy income is very prone to be scammed or they can easily trick you and steals what you have. because as you can see why that person try to give you something without any return, always be vigilant mate of what you are doing.

We will consider this as a warning sign. Also, i will avoid that username in discord group. How sad, this guy is actually an expert to scam others using that trick in cryptocurrency. Anyhow, we can still prevent those if we tend to avoid pretentious nice and chill guy like him.

Lesson here is don't trust anybody online. Who the hell will give you gift even if you don't know that person. If somebody gives you something or tell you that you will earn 10X your investment, that is 100% scam. Never trust anybody online.

Well that warned about this situation, thank you very much!
There are a lot of scamming issues coming from ico's right now as well as bounty manager and that is the reason you should always check the current tokens platform before investing or working on their bounty campaign.

now a lot of Benches on the market, not to get caught on the Bench need to read a lot, analyze all their actions, constantly monitor everything,if you do not do that then there is a very good chance to get on the Bench, it's not who does not want to read a lot and communicate with people who understand

So obvious that this guy is a scammer. Do you really think that someone can buy some tokens, store them in a wallet and totally forget about it? And never check token’s price, and don’t even bother to keep his private keys somewhere in more safe and accessible place, not on an old hard disk. And give the keys to a stranger he met in the web, without checking his wallet beforehand. You must be such a trusting and open hearted person to believe in everything that guy told you.
