List of (un)known methods scammers user to scam users with honorable mention

[butcherme]

Most of this method's are being used in telegram I couldn't count how many times I have received some of this method.
Fake ICO's deposit x to receive x and some people who are begging for help to cash out their money in some fake sites how ever I have never entertain them since I know that it is just a scam.
And there are some who also sell some script to win in gambling who would even fell for that method?

Paypal for crypto(BTC)
This kind of currency exchange offers we often see in the Currency exchange section. Most of them come from Newbie accounts or very lower ranked accounts. They will claim that they have Paypal and they want to buy BTC. The deal may go very smooth but since Paypal has chargeback feature (is valid for 180days) the scammer can simply write to Paypal for a refund and if they can convince Paypal team then Paypal will take the money away from your account. A better solution is to hold the crypto for 180 days using an escrow perhaps.

Example victims or offers:
In progress

Luckily i'm not a victim, but i've seen this happen, and has been attempted on me dozens of times.
ONLY use paypal for people you TRUST

Cargeback is a bitch....

I've ran many businesses and chargebacks are just a cost of doing business. Majority of business is done with credit cards, its just how the real world operates. Your generally fine selling btc for paypal if you charge a premium to offset any losses you might have.

Ok, lets say you want to sell 1 BTC using paypal. How much of a premium would you want for that?

Depends on the platform, if it is something like paxful where you can sort of get a good idea on who is trustworthy maybe 15% or so. Assume 1 out of 10 trades will go bad.

The thing is with paypal you get a huge amount of customers that otherwise wouldn't be able to buy crypto.

I've owned two businesses, ran them for years, and never had a single charge-back.  Maybe if you didn't scam your customers they wouldn't feel the need to charge back.

I doubt anyone is willing to buy BTC with 15% premium. But that's just me.
My experience tells me that if they say to any price, it's either a very rich buyer (in this case, he has other options) or a scammer just waiting to trigger that chargeback

Fake Options platform where the users always lose their money.

When the users complain about losing their money the scammer declares the user doesnt know what they are doing and that option pricing is done using "Nobel prize winning black-scholes method" . Unsuspecting users may accept that answer and accept their loss, when really it's a huge scam.

Funds recovery Fraud/Scam - I think it's one of the oldest scam tricks around and it deserved to be in the list  
The Person in the latest case documented here lost over $50,000 just in the recovery fraud. I wonder how much money they lost that they were trying to recover

I discovered something new today.
Someone created a website that allows you to create ETH address, BTC address and allows you to perform some other tasks. Someone makes the site a bit useful. Here the goal is to let the users to use the site and when they generate the addresses they have a copy of the key of course. BE AWARE!

And this is how they will market it. Thanks to SFR10 that he spotted it.
