this type of scam the newbies will fall for this, it's not new a strategy for scammers, you can see a lot in social medias that they are doing giveaways scam, in order to receive your reward(tokens or 1 ETH) you must send 0.01 - 0.1 ETH first, I hate scammers.

I have repeatedly received such emails. And it seems to me that you need to be a very naive person to believe in it. There is no free cheese in a mousetrap.

Actually, this isn't new at all. In fact, very common and very old. It's quite crazy but people fall for it even today. Who in the world gives money away for nothing? And who would ask for 1 ETH to give away more? Of course it's a scam, so if you fall for it, you only have yourself to blame.

Nothing is free in this world. Really. Nothing. So when you see free, understand the risks, understand the conditions.

I absolutely agree with the friend. That's an old trick. They even do the same thing by imitating the celebrities.

I think they're trying to trick people into the lowest level. The real danger is that you can click on a link to steal your money or infiltrate your computer. You just have to be smart about what's left of it.

They tried to scam me as well, they used a new method. They send me for example a message on Telegram claiming that they have 5 BTC frozen in a so called, exchange. and that they can't withdraw these funds, and if I help them they will pay me. It's to steal my email address and password, when I create an account in this exchange.

You should remember that in the crypto market will be a lot of scammers and you should be sober in every circumstance. With the coins has existed in many years, you will never get a giveaway.

Thanks for the information, people like that should not be part of this community however that form of scam has been here for a very long time, I remember seeing it some years ago and it is probably older than that, I cannot understand how anyone could fall for it but if scammers are still using that tactic to get money then it means that it must work.

thanks for the warning, but something like this can just be a scam. a newbie may fall for it, but someone who has been dealing with crypto for a while should know that this can only be a scam. if you should pay something first to get more money, you should always be careful.
