Report Bitcoin spam (scam) and other coin addresses!

[Lafu]

First i want to say that this is a translation from my orginal Thread from my Local board
and i want to share it with all and thats the reason why i translated it and post it here too ,
the reason for that also is to warn New users from kind of Scam like the following is !

The reason for this thread is that I have recently received and read some almost identical emails in my spam folder!

In these emails is written that a hacker has control over your PC and that he has taken a lot with the webcam on video from me !
(since I had to laugh for the first time because my PC has no webcam or is connected to one)

Since in this email also a BTC address occurs on which one should transfer an amount
and thus the video will be deleted I've made the effort and have the address once investigated!

This is an excerpt and picture of the Email I got:



In addition, the email address specified there does not agree with mine!

Excerpt from my email:

Code:

If you want to prevent this, transfer the amount of $653 to my bitcoin address (if
you do not know how to do this, write to Google: "Buy Bitcoin").

My bitcoin address (BTC Wallet) is: 1ADPYGvEVBCBVzQhnfW2euR7huLrDvmBqb

That was just the reason for the following what I want to show and what I found when I looked for this BTC address.

I found a site when i was researching that is called " Bitcoin-Spam ".



Here you can search Bitcoin addresses if they have already been reported, and you can also post addresses there to report them!



It is also possible to report other coin addresses by clicking on the field Crypto Currency.

If an address has already been reported, it will be added to the database and you will be able to see the reports there.



In addition, you can switch on the homepage on diffrent languages English , German and Russian!

For me personally a good site because you can also check if an address has been reported, and if this has already been done, of course, the details are visible for this (amount, etc.)!

I hope I could enlighten you a bit about so called " spam emails " and the homepage for BTC spam addresses!

This should be also warning for dont send any Coins to Users or Addresses you dont know or ever heard !

I was not even aware of such list until this thread. Are submissions somehow being reviewed here? Or any address being submitted goes directly to the list?

[feryjhie]

i received many emails that look like this. but i don't know why they can know my password and old password in the email
i just wondering what kind of benefit if i report in the website above and i think it will be good if we just ignore that kind of email

Also be careful guys, even if you input there bitcoin address in the bitcoin spam site and still do not get any report about the address previously duping anyone that does not confirm its genuine, scammers are calculated people and it would not cost them a thing to create a new bitcoin address.
Where most time the flaw is in format when a scammer notice that a particular format to extort funds from people is working he/she tends to adopt it. Once you see this type of scam format as stated by the OP it's very much advisable not to pay and report.
Although the are other format that new so when you see any suspicious link, person, or message try to talk to professional, or seek security advice

This looks really useful! Very easy to change adress tho but if we can search emails etc and maybe even put the entire message?

This kind of fraud is nothing new, the only difference is that today fraudsters ask payments in cryptocurrency and before they can only ask for fiat. The real problem is what some people truly believe in literally everything they read, and all that people should do is to mark such messages as spam, and in that way they would help others to not receive such messages in inbox.

Information about coin address who are involved in blackmail via e-mail can only serve as an example, ie to see how much a fraud is successful or not. The fact is that fraudsters are using free tools, and in this case e-mails / coins addresses are free&unlimited. Regardless of the databases of such addresses new ones appear daily, so it is not about how to collect them all, but to how prevent people from believing in such stupidity.

I’ve been receiving that sort of scam email for some months now. There are multiple variations of the text, with different BTC addresses, but the bottom line is the same. At some point, some database somewhere with my email/pwd was breached/sold, and those are the credential being used in my case in the email message body. The password being shown is old, and I haven’t used it for years, so the origin must be at least a couple of years old.

This type of scam does remind us to try to keep different passwords to different sites (using Keepass or something alike).

By the way, the BTC addresses used in my case have TXs that add up to somewhere in the range of 0,5 BTC to 2 BTC, with values that look similar to those demanded in the email. Looks like some people’s porn habits cause a certain panic rush to pay up promptly …

The most times they dont know it realy and they just try to scare People with that and maybe catch some on this !
If from 1000 Mails they send out only 10 send some amount to them they got a lot of money !

Also be careful guys, even if you input there bitcoin address in the bitcoin spam site and still do not get any report about the address previously duping anyone that does not confirm its genuine, scammers are calculated people and it would not cost them a thing to create a new bitcoin address.

If you put some Address in there and you get no report or info for it , it isnt reported there !
Thats why i post this , to get some attention about this kind of scam to avoid it that people get scammed !
And if more People report such mails or scam it helps that others dont fall in the Trap !

This looks really useful!

I hope it is , and other Users that get the same or other mails report them there !

This type of scam does remind us to try to keep different passwords to different sites (using Keepass or something alike).

Yes it should be some kind of warning for that too and always check things you download or where you send some Money or Coins 2 times before you click the send Button.

As i have written , guess from 1000 people they catch some and they have done some fast money .
If they get on one they lurking around of some kind of sites for sure they are scared and they send them money or BTC.

When more people report this kind of things there , it would be a beginning and a warning for others and would help that a lot of be safe , hopefuly !

So, one thing I understand with the post is that you can report addresses that is used to scam or spam and search for the address that someone give to you and know if it is used to scam or spam before, am I right?. If yes then this would help many people not getting scam or the total of people that got scammed will be reduce. I never knew this existed and i'm glad I know it.

That’s true to a certain (limited) degreee, although they are not that widely used yet so they have a limited use in practical terms. There are also various BDs of the kind around, which is expected.

I’ve tried out a specific scam address on “Bitcoin-Spam” (referenced in the OP) and “BitcoinWhosWho” (another such site I’ve used before), and the address is listed in one of the sites but not on the other. Many micro scam operations may use unique addresses and they may not be reported here. The message being therefore that if a given address is not in one of these DBs then one cannot assume it is clean.

There are also ETH based address type DBs such as “etherscamdb.info”.
