MORE TYPES OF BITCOIN SCAMS

[bitbunnny]

I add some, never trust about giveaway, airdrop, bounty or anything about freebies from email. Most of them are scam and the email will give you a link.

Just don't click it and delete the email directly.

Of course, there is no such thing.as free lunch. And if something looks and sounds too good to be true, it isn't. Scamers always have new inovative ideas and always find victims because people are naive and greedy. Always be careful, think twice and use your brain and common sense to evaluate situation. Don't expect that someone else will protect you from scam.

This goes to those trading on websites like Bittrex, Binance and so on, please endeavor to always ;

1- use 2FA authentications or Google Auth as security for your exchange accounts. I got a phising attack on my bittrex and lost all my holding of 28,000usd. I am still in pains until today because of this. This should be an eye opener to traders before it is late.

2- Never seek website links from google or search engines, most links could be from hackers who do phishing attacks.. Always good to directly type the website of your exchange or web wallets into the browser.

right, it's better to avoid various types of invitations that are unknown or not authentic and untrusted sources. with simple delete and permanent blocking. Crypto users often receive invitations to their e-mails for the purpose of scaming our wallets. let's criticize fraud and scam issue by rejecting various forms of invitation with any reason.

This is a common types of scam already and the ones who will fall on this kind of traps are those newbie investors out there who doesn't know how and where to invest their money.

The problem to some of the investors is that they are too easy to be hypnotized by these scammers. Some will say "Invest here and will get 20% interest monthly". Greedy investors will invest their money there without knowing that it is only a scam. Investors must have knowledge and must know where to invest their money

i agree there are lot of scammer and newbie need to know the fact that bitcoin is not safe if they are not knowledgeable

[izanagi narukami]

It's similar with other investment platform such as forex/gold
They said that MIA and GCG are great choice to invest because they are doing copy trade for you while you are sitting and relax.

Every people have their own perception on what is the meaning on scam until the time said otherwise

[CryptoBry]

Scammers are majorly after newbies to cryptocurrency. Funny many are been scammed daily. I have been safeguarding some persons in my country I come across, I help them to buy and sell bitcoin by referring them to reliable escrow and exchanges, sometimes they put me off the picture of their deals, although very few on of them, and some do get burnt, having a good mentor in this space is very important.

I remembered when I was a newbie I was almost scammed l was lured to send some bitcoin and promised a rate of Return Of 200% in three days time   similar to hyip. Honestly trusted exchange or resellers is the way out in cryptos because of fraudulent practices across the cryptosphere and moreso the use of ESCROW services is another option in transaction of bitcoin in addition to the OP ways of preventing scam.

Most scammers can appeal to our greed or that desire to earn money the fast and easy way. They have been doing that ever since and they are concocting many programs and establishing sites so they can promote their evil design. I was a newbie and got a victim with many HYIP type of programs before some can give us gains while many would say goodbye even days upon starting. With the coming of cryptocurrency, scammers found a big paradise to explore with so many new newbies to enthralled that is why education is always important.

I suggest to avoid all third-party wallets in which you do not solely control your own private key. I also recommend to use a hardware wallet if your holdings are in the four figures or higher. Always use two-factor authentication when using exchanges, and only use reputable exchanges. Lastly, remember to safety store your passphrase when applicable.

I suggest to avoid all third-party wallets in which you do not solely control your own private key.

Im using a third party wallet that dont have the ability to give private keys to thier users and im using it for almost 2 years and a half but so far so good . I dont experience any issues regarding on their security or service .  Not all kinds of this wallets are bad  . Its only up to the users if how he secure/use his wallet . Bitcoin scams usually happen on person to person transactions or on online exchanges but i rarely hear a scam news about online wallets  .

I agree with your opinion. the point is that if you want your wallet to be safe don't ever give a private key, don't go into a phishing link where we switch from the original website to the website of the person who is cheating. we must be careful

All the information is true. I did not trusg anyone else except to my self because I know what is good to my bitcoin because my knowledge is quiet enough. Just not like before who don't have enough knowledge that can cause me to result losing my bitcoin. Most of the common scam I saw is some people hear story on how they successful and they convince to send bitcoin to them and they give bavk profit after few days only but it's totally scam.

If you are referring to GreenAddress, it's true with them you do not have access to your private key, but they don't either, so they are an exception to the rule - there is confirmation required between the user and platform using encryption to access and move funds.

I have also used GreenAddress in the past, and I highly recommend that users keep a copy of the passphrase in a safe spot when using that service.

There are scams especially on telegram where a certain person claim that his/her Ip is blocked that he can’t  withdraw from an exchange. He/she then coerces you to register that he/she  would send the coin to you, but you will keep a percentage and send the rest to him/her.

Here is the catch. The coins they usually send in the exchange is a teatnet coin which is valueless. Never fall for that, if truly their IP is blocked, I’m sure there are VPNs that can help to circumvent that. Never believe their lies. They are all out for scams.

Thanks for the heads up. I'm a telegram user and reading a lot of offerings but haven't fallen from their trap. You can easily detect potential scam or cheating from these scammers. You should be very careful in sending your vital information or any keys to these suckers. Don't be greedy by accepting their offers.

There are other obvious bitcoin scams and can easily be determined.

Online Cloud Mining - Don't invest on this kind of scheme you simply put your money to their address and allows them to mine a coin for you cause in reality they aren't
HYIP - no more further explanations
ICO - this is also one of the shittest scheme right now trying to create a token that might have a value in the future or even worse you are doing something but still you can't have the certain tokens
