NEW SCAM METHOD EMBRACED BY CRYPTOCURRENCY SCAMMERS

[dhiraj0977]

I have got so much scammed mails since I have started free bounty programs and still my email filled with many airdrops, some containing hacking link, some trying to steal your information, but I hardly open any mails as I found many instances where the malicious mails gone into hacking and stole your private keys from your computer.

I'm aware of this scam as well because I've received this kind of messages in my mail inbox and I don't bother reading because and projects ,ICO or airdrops that got sent through emails are scams or even phishing scam too unless you registered on there whitelist for notification ,one needs to be very careful and always be on your guard cos these scam artist are not ready to backdow

It is a scam that you have to see it easily. I believe if you really understand the scam situation when you got one. The scammers (i am calling them labour thiefs) will always be in this cryptocurrency market and they would try to steal from someone every day again and again. Specially the newbies getting scam from them but as far as i can see that there are many people could get scam more than ones. So newbies should make researches and study about it and they should avoid scam at least after the first time.

Everyone that joins ICOs, bounties or airdrops might recently be receiving some emails purported to be from a project administrators informing you of that your earlier contact of the support has been escalated and you need to be a certain sum of bitcoin or ethereum in order to abade the problem otherwise, you lose your investment or earnings.

It is a scam. Beware!!!

First advice I give to my friends joining cryptocurrency is don't click on any link contained in a mail asking you to verify one thing or the other it's all phishers trying to have access to your mobile devices.

Thank you for the experience you shared, of course this will be very useful for all of us in this forum. In order not to experience fraud in a new way. I have also experienced almost the same thing, namely getting emails and private messages on the telegram. This is very troubling, and cases that need to be taken seriously. For that we must be more careful at all times, and always actively communicate or discuss. Once again I say thank you very much..

I think most are aware here regarding this modus.

TIPS: Dont ever click anything on your email specially those who saying that you have been rewarded of coins or tokens and just verified the link to claim the prize. Those are petty scam that if you click say goodbye to your tokens on your wallet cause it is 100% phishing site.

I can not believe that you first encountered a similar method of scam. I would call it classic. Keep in mind that any person who comes to contact you by offering incredible investment services is most likely a scammer.

[tamango]

everytime I receive an email from some project I always ask directly to telegram group if email si real or fake, this is a good method to eliminate scams.

Every ICO has their own telegram channel, before doing anything, you must first confirm it in their telegram channel, if you are an investor you must be educated to know what is right and wrong and your communication should always open to the developer of the coin you are following.

[Jonking]

those emails are totally scam.. you would have call yourself st*** if you fall from it.. scammers are smart now, they will use everything they just to scam people

[Adriano2010]

Yes this are scams and i got this kind of emails, mostly last year, but i never open that links and i delete the emails, but scammers are bad for crypto and they will try all to scam.

That's why in the bounty spreadsheet, bounty manager need to hide the email column so our email won't be leaked.
Email is one of the most used method for phishing activities by scammers and hackers.
If you have to pay some ETH or BTC to get your reward, then it is clearly scam.

This scam method has been around for a long time and I decided to block and report all of my DMs first and say that he is the admin of some project.
Money is never easy to find and the opportunity does not come to us easily. Be careful and wise, don't be greedy.

[Leonardo7]

Any bounty or ICO that need your fund for deposit activation or any sort of logistic is a pure scam, I once flagged a project called Ethereum ChashPro, and this prevented an exchange from listing it,, because they would done more harm, although some greedy persons who are bent on testing new waters will never yield such an advise.

One of the reasons for origination of such scam oriented spam is the bounty managers openly displaying users email address on the bounty spreadsheet. Email are a bit matter of privacy and as bounty is an important task, people tends to provide their primary email of use rather than the one used for secondary uses.

[Nalbo]

Email are just tip of the iceberg. Sensitive private data of users are being revealed and traded due to fradulent ICOs and KYC, there are thousands of passport, credit card numbers and social securities number available for trade.
Users should now be much more aware of whom they are providing their private info. Risking once privacy for a few dollars is not worth it.

Well I don't need anyone to tell me that it's obviously a scam and the admin of the project can never ask me for fund to solve any problem, it's very unprofessional and not done anyone, I just still wonder while people still fall for this kind of those in the space, we really need to enlighten newbies so that they don't end up losing their funds to scammers all of the time, let's make sure we try to expose all of these scammers that want to bring down our community.

[eternalgloom]

No kidding, it's not new, scammers have been using that tactic for years now & alarm bells should be going off in your head once they ask you for money.
It's practically the same as those scams where websites promise you a free amount of BTC supposedly with 'no strings attached' and then when you want to withdraw, they charge you a small amount.

You'd have to be a real fool to fall for one of those scams...

Only fool will fall in that kind of stupid scanning strategy,you are pointing to the investors and bounty hunters has nothing to do with that because for sure we as bounty hunters will never give even a smaller amount of ethereum or bitcoin just to get the token or coins as payment for the job when we know that most of the ICO are value less so there is no assurance of gaining

[MUG1WARA]

of course it is a scam and when you reply to that email they will surely ask you to send eth or btc, which needs to be remembered if the admin will never ask or ask for it
