New Telegram Crypto Scammer Technique

[BitMaxz]

I think it's an exchange wallet address. Look at the activity of the transactions in the address. No way those low life scammers can get such amounts.

I don't know if it's actually an exchange wallet address but I tried to search about this address here on the forum and this is what I found.

It seems a gambling site which is known as BetHash who uses this address and read the whole thread as you can see Boris007 scammed by BetHash he didn't receive the BTC as Bethash promise.

The transaction activity might be from his own gambling site. So the scammer owns a gambling site that is holding a large amount of ETH and Big amount of token.

I think it's better to report this on DT members to investigate or to tag him early before someone becomes a victim again.

- 000webhostapp.com as domain

- "You would have to proceed with the rectification deposit of 0.025BTC into the rectifying synced wallet address in order to complete the ongoing process on our account"

- Aggressive:

"how much was the balance on my account?
We're not to dip into your personal details user, the official BOT in charge of your account is responsible for that
Let's get this issue resolved now
We're having limited time in getting this done
Proceed with the deposit now
Are you on it now?Huh"

This kind of scheme is not new anymore. Not also related to the upcoming halving as it happened every day. Since this isn't new anymore I wonder if there's still a few who will fall on this (or did someone already fall on this?). Thanks for the heads up. You can also report that user to Telegram and they will nuke that account after checking. In fairness, Telegram now improved their approach handling on such reports compare back then. Although it will not minimize the scam activity on their platform, at least they are doing something better than nothing. Still, especially for newbies, stay vigilant.

Looks like it's the trending trick right now. It's related to the scam technique talked about last week : New scam technique on Telegram.

People who fall for this kind of scam are usually less informed, less alert and at times very desperate to get their accounts issues solved as soon as possible

You're right and this is why this thread was created on the beginners section cause the newbie need to be inform. As you can see the wallet is receiving simultaneously transactions.

Seriously, who is falling for scams like this?

Newbie and impatience/desperate exchange user.

This ETH address 0xC88F7666330b4b511358b7742dC2a3234710e7B1 have 850ETH and he is holding PAXOS standard with the amount of 31,341.512 PAX which is worth of 31328.88 USD

How this scammer has this big amount of token? it seems all sources are from scamming.
The ETH address is actively receiving and sending a few amounts of token and ETH daily.

I think it's an exchange wallet address. Look at the activity of the transactions in the address. No way those low life scammers can get such amounts.

It definitely not an exchange wallet. If you have the time check the received and sent transaction done by the ETH add sent to me by the scammer, you'll that they are actually belong to the same person and he used the 0xC88F7666330b4b511358b7742dC2a3234710e7B1  as him main storage.

You're right with what you said since he scammed Boris007 there's possible chance that he might behind the scam issue posted but I'll still examine the wallet later when I have free time.

Additional is always double check, it can also be checked in the telegrap chat group settings then navigate thru list of members, there you can see list of admin there especially if they are labeled as admin.
And the best also to do once you see the member/admin in the list you can click it and click message, there you can see if the one that messaging you is an impostor or fake.

I also think that having this Telegram scam topic twice here in the beginners board shows a sign that an enormous scamming activity in telegram happening and many has been victimized. This is why beginners or the so called newbies should always consider vigilance and take advices from well experienced trader or crypto enthusiasts so they could avoid being one of the fools that are victimized. The strongest sword that everyone could use against scams and evrything is knowledge. Just be educated enough about things like this then they won't be able to do anything to you.
