Highcoin.net is a scam?

[Rygerjoe]

they want me to deposit 0.02 btc to "verify" my account to be able to withdraw my funds?

That's ridiculous. BTC0.02?

Verifying accounts should be done via email confirmation, phone or any form of KYC's and not by sending funds.

Where do you found the site? Those spam threads around?

No, a friend (online) told me about this, he then gave me this 1k usd that im stuck with there...


All this sounds completely retarded to me tbh, and I just wanted to hear your opinions, the more the better.

I guess he is not really your friend, but just a random guy online. (correct me if I'm wrong) Trust me, this is a scam tactic.

1. Why would a random guy give you money?
2. Why would he ask you to withdraw that amount while he can deposit himself and withdraw it
2. Why do you need to deposit to be able to withdraw? Why not KYC?

Isn't this too obvious? I recently saw the same stories posted here. Like this one: BEWARE!!! charmcrypt.com

It's a scam. This modus operandi is common. Lots of fake exchange ask you to deposit some funds before you can withdraw your money but then it won't be processed at all. Their support either answer with "please wait" or "we need additional verifications", and after some time, the site will go offline and you're rekt.

Don't believe them.

This is 100% SCAM. I always get same message from other guy in my telegram account.
They need help to withdraw bitcoin but you must deposit to can withdraw it.

Don't trust it bro, or you will lost your bitcoin.

[Rygerjoe]

Thanks for the confirmations guys, quite as I expected, and NO, never in my life will I deposit to such retarded scam sites.

[bL4nkcode]

This website template is mostly used such scam, saw some reports with same trick and web template used by the scammer.

Lots of cases do people faces such scams like this in CT, either exchange or a gambling site. Only newbies get victimize and glad you ask first before doing something. It's obvious scam attempt, just ignore and block this friend you're talking for your own safety.

This might be a clear case of scam becasue, for you to make a deposit of 0.02BTC before be able to withdraw your funds; looks to me like a bait to scam. Never fall for this type of scam, most especially when a friend instigate you to make a deposit before withdrawal from any exchange or platform online. The one you called your friend; is not your friend and be very careful.

This has been a pretty common scam for a while, so good choice of actually being skeptical and asking here instead of going through immediately. It'd probably be a good idea to get rid of that "friend" of yours..

And just to add, I hope that the password you used to register on that site is completely different compared to the password you used on your other exhange accounts, or all of your accounts in general. If so, change everything ASAP.

[jak3]

lol, this thing does not look exchange from anyway, it's not professional at all. it's like the guy downloaded some AngularJs template and customized it and added some database support. you can list the scam site Here. So others do not make the same mistake.

I made a very fitting password just for that site, as I could see it was a scam miles away.

but I thought, why not give this human benefit of doubt, never turns out good online

Again, thanks for all the inputs guys, just as I expected, but allways good to have multiple opinions from neutral parties. Thanks!

Honestly, who would think that using a photo of a famous model would be a good and not-so-obvious idea? This chick has 8.9 million followers for fucks sake. LOL

Nice investigation by the way.

Scam platform always do this to their victim and I have no idea why there are still so many people who fell to this kind of scam. I suggest you to avoid this kind of platform. There are many well-known platforms for you to use. If you knew this kind of platform from joining airdrops or something, it's better to get a job and make money from it than to waste time.

100% Scam! If any sites that do ask out deposits before you would able to withdraw is just total fraud.I did try to visit Highcoin.net and it is an exchange.If they do wanted for their users to be verified then
it would need up documentations,it wont really need any funds for any verification.Stay away with this one if you dont like to lose money.

OP question has been answered and he knows that it's a scam already. So read other posts before you quote OP post and write your comment.

[EdenHazard]

As @Slowdeath comment's, we have a learning from it. Don't do anything before you know the ins and out a site or platform. Look the teams itself and do some research about it. It is very hard thing to do to believe a friend from the internet, you can't do anything to him when you face up such this problem.
