A new kind of scam in telegram using gambling site

[emberbekas]

The guy is so fast to delete our conversation in telegram and block me, I think he's been doing this for a long time and already victimized people.

He will introduce himself as the owner of a gambling site [forgot the name of the gambling site also) he will invite you to invest in his gambling site and make you a winner of their dice game, the catch is you will divide the pot and send him 50% of the winning pot.

Sounds interesting, I asked him that he send me Bitcoin so I can deposit and do what he says, he told me that many people have already scammed him doing that, but when I ask him how old is the site, he told me that the gambling site is old and trusted one urging me to deposit now, but I told him I would fall to this because the site has no traffic when checking on Alexa..

If I made a deposit I'm pretty sure he will block me.

The guy blocked me I wish I  made a screenshot I was waiting for him to prove that the site is legit.

So beware there are so many scammers lurking there and this is one of their methods.

There are many fraud attempts carried out by strangers and we must be vigilant. Such attempts can happen in any social media application not only on telegram. Ignoring strangers who try to give "the look so good to be true promises" will help us to avoid becoming victims.

Would be nice to know what the exactly the name is of that Gambling site.
And if they have some kind of Users here on Bitcointalk too ,
and we can ask about the things or if there is a proof of that , we can tagg them or create a Flag to the Account.

I’m curious also and want to know the name of that gambling site, but scumbags fast to delete their conversation at all and OP does not have chance to screenshot it.
Let’s just wait for another person who will encountered like this. And can provide a solid proof and warn people for another sh*t of scamming.

So the scammers will try to scam people using many ways. We need to be careful with them and don't send anything to them as we don't know if they are legit or not. But this is a new kind of scam, and this is the first time I know this scam. I hope you don't get another experience like that and you can be safe in any way you do. But that is strange if someone offers us and tell that we can make a lot of money in a short time because that thing will never happen to anyone.

With cryptos popularity increasing, scam is also increasing that is why it is very important that we should be very careful when negotiating or making transactions online because scammers are everywhere, don’t invest right away on things that can be too good to be true.

@asu

So we can open a Scam accusiation for the Site and warn maybe other Users to fall into the trap .
Guess there are a lot of Users how get scammed this way .

Scammers will try everything and this kind of attempt will keep showing up till they get someone who will be so greed and fall to this kind of scamming practice, telegram users are in need to be careful as it's been the channel for scammers to find potential victims who will cater and believe from those false promises.

That's why we should always check if the site is legitimate first. I believe there are numbers of trusted sites that can be searched in the internet and I think it would be better to use those we are sure of than those we just knew. And he's already suspicious about some points in your conversation. At this day and age, scammers are also so high-tech. We better not let our guards down.

[Dreamchaser21]

I will be suspicious the first time he asked me.

Why would you even forget that site? The most unforgettable sites I know are the sites that I trusted and used to go and play, and the sites that are scams or not legitimate. If that happened to me, I will be asking the site and make a thread here to ask if that is a legitimate site or not, You can also ask other sites about it or maybe some friends you know.

I am very active in the bounty campaign and chatting some of my clients, I shift from one conversation to the other actually and has so many tabs opened because of my campaign, just got me interested when he told me I can make $1000 which is too good to be true I just realized that he blocked me and delete our conversation when I tried to get back on him.

Point is you should be aware of this, this scammer could come again with a new site same method.

We can all be aware if there's link for that gambling site, anywhere I guess this is not the first time for the scammers because they are using everything to scam people. Its good that you don't fall on that trap or else you will lose the money. This is not new I guess, but an indication that even on Telegram scammers are working so always be careful and don't too much greedy on gambling if its too good to be true then stay away or don't play at all.

[mitchr4]

At least we already know that this scammer did the action from a telegram and other messaging service applications also. This is a lesson for us not to fall into the trap, especially to make a deposit on a suspicious gambling site, unfortunately the OP does not know its name.

The Best for this , when you would use an Gambling Site is before you use it you should be doing your Homework for some research about the Site and service !
Most times i guess it will safe you a lot of action and Money !

[Shinpako09]

Since the start you will know that this guy isn't trusted. You don't need to be smart to notice, but I guess even with this so much suspicious trick, there are still people getting fooled because of their eagerness to earn money. Scammers are everywhere and they will always be there that's why you need to be more cautious in dealing with other people.

[dunfida]

Not a new scam yet these already exist and lots of type of them on telegram.Only your common sense will really able to
protect you on such scam attempt.If you do let your greedy and carelessness do control you then expect for losing money.
Be sensible because if everyone offers too good to be true then you should think twice.

[asu]

Very suspicious when I read the “telegram” using it for scamming.

You guys know how telegram features work. It can be deleted anytime and anywhere when people want to delete it, that’s why I don’t trust every pm I received in telegram unless i’m the first one to chat or send them messages.
There will always be a kind of people who never thinks what would be the result if they feed their children that the money they used is from a bad deeds.

Be cautious

How can an owner of the site gets a deal with strangers that makes his business on loss with 50% given as a reward. This is suspicious in the first place but i cant think of that way since im not on the situation. Seems like scammers are now on telegram because they can be easily noticed in the forum. Be safe people. Thank you for sharing awareness.

^ Completely right, common sense here is a must. Doing something research while you are investigating the given gambling site is also the best action while protecting your self from a possible scam. This is not new, there's a bunch of scammed happen on telegram so we must be careful on the stranger who privately messages on you. As what have said the post above it was common sense. Our responsibility not to fall on this kind of monkey business.

This kind of Scammers try always to get you first with some % of a Bonus or free coins most times  .

It doesn't really make any sense on first site.No dumb site owner would let players win the entire bankroll and asking for

a 50% slice up?For what?This thing alone is already a shady thing to be avoided.

There are a lot of this is in telegram because of many members some telegram groups had huge membership I seldom login on telegram, I only do it after the campaign so I can monitor the distribution, or if there are changes in the distribution, but not every day.

[rosezionjohn]

I'm surprised you even entertained him on telegram. I would have reported him as a spam so that telegram will prevent him from sending private messages to others as well. Do not entertain unsolicited pm's.

[Irvinn]

Each Telegram account has a specific set of functions with which you can perform certain actions to prevent unwanted contacts with other individuals or groups.  This is primarily intended to prevent fraudsters from deceiving themselves.  You can’t trust anything that seems so sweet and believable.
