What happened: Scamming XRP coins.

Although this website doesn't promoted on this forum but Inthink forum member should aware about this scam. I know this is very traditional scam attempt but seems scammer successfully scammed so may XRP. Hope our forum member will stay away from that scam.

Scammers create a script where show fake transactions. If someone suddenly see that he might fall in that trap and that's how peoples still making deposit on scammer address. See below picture how they made script.

Good thing is there is already warning on 3 of 2 XRP explorers. Click on address: rscycN6bV7bjtRfZtJrwV5ShHCaYkfZC9h  you will se below warning.

But bad thing is people still depositing on that scammer address. How greedy people are even they can't determine direct scam. Scammers are spreading their script link via social media like Telegram, Twitter, YouTube and so on.

That looks like a scheme used by Bitcoin doubler scams. Now scammers are creating FAKE EXCHANGES with very attractive rates. Be careful!!

This is obviously a manipulation of the transaction, I hope we are 100% of the people here in this community are matured enough not to fall on this kind of scheme, the domain alone cannot be trusted, and they are asking huge amount of XRP to verify your wallet.
They are already caught and reported but I wonder how many newbies they've victimized with this scheme.

Maybe the scammer is doing transactions from his addresses to show that people are trusting this site and are applying for the airdrop. It's not that hard actually.

It's a good thing that you are placing a warning but most of us already know that an airdrop asking for deposit is a big red flag.

Perhaps a blog/or an EDU thread about this and how to spot sites being operated by scammers should be good and helpful for newbies.

Thats a good start actually. But I was also talking about inclusion of some basic red flags like fake transaction list when you check their transaction list that they have (that's one). Secondly, high withdrawal limit is another and some further points if someone comes up with later.
