Hello everyone ,
Just writing a short message to warn you about Ethnocrypt.com site & some messages you could receive on discord by some random users. Don't fall in that trap
Today , a discord member named
"Is done crypto#5065" sent me a private message on discord :
"I earned a little crypto on one exchange, but I can not withdraw this money.
I made too many transactions and was blocked to withdraw money for suspicion of spam or something like that, i am not good in crypto, sorry....
Can I transfer to you my crypto(1.84 BTC) on this site, after which you withdraw them out for me and leave yourself a commission of 15% for help?"At this point , i was almost sure it was a future scam attempt but i wanted to play a bit with that person so i chatted more & found out it was clearly one.
I made a fake email/password/btc address to go further. I'll try to sum up the whole process.
Someone contact you on any social network/software asking for help on this site
Once you create an account & add your addresses , that person send you the bitcoin amount ( 1,84 here)
The person asks you to withdraw to your personal wallet outside the site to send it to another address.
And here is the catch: To withdraw anything from the site , you need to deposit 0.02 BTC.Extra informations :
- It's a copy of cex.io
- A lot of grammatical errors on the site
- A roulette game where you win 90% of the time.
- A live chat showing the Yobit real chat , changing name and adding avatars.
- The best moment was with the live support . I was really having fun with the person on discord when he sent me a picture of his screen with a NYPD Jacket threatening me.
The story he tells is really non-sense.
Even the live support said i was acting suspiciously when i just asked a simple question about deposit while i was arguing with the scammer.
- Tried to get deposit proof & any TX ID , which is impossible to find anywhere on site of course. He tried really hard , but i think he finally figured out that i wouldn't pay anything on the site.
