CRYPTO DOUBLERS SCAM !!!

[mosprognoz]

There are many so called "Bitcoin Doubler" website that are offering to double you bitcoins in 24 hours, 1 day, e.t.c.. All of them are scams !!!

How it works.

Scammers are offering you to double your bitcoins and giving you an address for deposit.

Case 1. You deposit requested amount and will never hear from them again

Case 2. You deposit a small amount of $ 10 or 20 in BTC and scammer pays you back the doubled amount. Of course you will deposit more, but in that case scammer will ask you to deposit not less that $100-200 in BTC. After you deposit that amount, scammer will stop answering your mails and your money is gone.

But now scammers are using more sophisticated scam formats.

Case 3. They will ask you for Ripple (xrp) or any other alternative crypto currency and will show you the transaction history from blockexploler, showing deposits and payouts. That is done in order to convince you, that many people made such deals and the service is trustable. But in fact all that transactions are made by scammer himself using different addresses that belongs to him. The good example of that is the new scam discovered by Coolcryptovator here:

https://xrpscan.com/account/rscycN6bV7bjtRfZtJrwV5ShHCaYkfZC9h

As you can see the blockexplorer shows dozens of transactions that are matching the amounts offered for deposit and payouts. All of them are fake and made up by scammer to trick you.

Any website offering such services is nothing but a SCAM !!!

Experienced crypto veterans will notice that scam right away, but newbies might still be trapped.

DON' BE GREEDY AND STAY AWAY FROM SUCH WEBSITES AND OFFERS !!! NOBODY WILL DOUBLE YOUR CRYPTO ASSETS !!!

Thats nothing new and they use this a few years ago and the most times i have seen it on Twitter or on discord .

They offer an giveaway of some amount for example ( 10 ETH or more ) and you have just deposit min amount 0f 0.5 Eth or 0.1 Eth and you get back the double off your amount.

Twitter is most seen of some kind of Scam like that.

So if see something like an Giveaway where you first to deposit some Amount to get back something , dont fall into this trap , its Scam .

Well said but even all of these advises are repeated many times, still these doublers are able to scam the people. I sometimes think that our mind need to refresh these points again and again so that we do not fall for these scams. Or we are too lazy to work and want quick money from such schemes.

Damn, didn't knew that Bitcoin doublers is still big thing in 2019. When I just started 4 or 5 years ago, there was so many doublers. And as I remember, they already used similar technique to attract investors - they were making fake transactions between themselves to make look them legit.
But I never understood how people can be so naive to invest into it. Do they think that Bitcoins grows on a tree and it can be doubled just in 24 hours? Who needs miners when we have Bitcoin doublers...

I don't understand how people are so naive. They think bitcoin is like free money for everyone.

Have you ever seen someone asking "Please, deposit some money in my bank account and I will give you the double you send back to you!"
That is unthinkable, as nobody would even listen to someone doing this. Why do people listen if he talks about bitcoin or any cryptocurrency?

[OgNasty]

If someone claims to have a scheme where you send BTC and receive more BTC back in exchange with no risk, they are a liar.  Due to a varying exchange rate, promising positive BTC returns is impossible for anyone to do.

[1miau]

Scammers are using many strategies to get their fraudulent money and unfortunately it's still successful for them.  

Lastest trend:
Scam YouTube Giveaways where people have to deposit a small amount and the scammers promise to send them back multiple times more of their deposited coins. dkbit98 spotted some of these and honestly, I'm still amazed how many greedy, uneducated people are doing everything to make a quick buck with totally unrealistic expectations:

SCAM Youtube Live Giveaways - Litecoin, Coinbase, Ripple, Binance, Eth, Btc...

YouTube seems to have very dumb users, or am I wrong...

It's not that still big thing in 2019. Most bitcoin doubler operator turn into scam ICO or airdrop giveaway, some called self drop or whatsoever scam. Actually, knew it already as scam but they know too that early investors will successfully get profit as it is the scheme. But suddenly when this early investors post testimonial, Many innocent peoplebare tempted to invest and those people who post testimonial will just advice them to risk what you can afford to lose. And voila, they have no obligation to them.

Its always the same scheme and yeb it hasnt changed anything about the basic thing that you should be deposit something to get more back !
For example if you send money to a bank you dont know you dont get more money from them back .
I also done this misstake when i was coming into crypto. Learnd it the hard way as many others have done.

I think more relevant for newbies right now might be the current live stream on youtube from "Ethereum".
The channel has 1.37K subscribers, and as of typing, 741 people (probably mainly bots) watching.

Why youtube doesn't remove these obvious scams is anyones guess.

[Bttzed03]

^ they can't do it on twitter anymore that's why they moved to another social media which is youtube in this case. This is the second yt scam giveaway I've seen now. At least the comment section is open for this one and any noob viewer can still be warned.

Don't forget to report also

[Wysi]

This is a very helpful article which will indeed help most of the new users who might have come across this for the first time and especially anyone would be convinced by their sophisticated way of cheating just by looking at the transactions, I am not sure how do even people think it's as easy as they claim to double the money,  we as a community needs to understand and accept the fact that it's not as easy to earn crypto and only we can do it on own with our dedication and skills and should not depend on any third part to do it for us.

Thanks for sharing this article as this will definitely helps users.

Bitcoin doublers/fiat doublers etc, anything that has to do with someone claiming to double your income/coins in a short space of time, is a scam, I see so many of them on facebook this days(cryotocurrency groups), they are claiming the can double bitcoin and show people how to earn X amount of bitcoins in Z amount of time(you need to see the crazy amount they are proposing one can earn), all this are scam attempts and whats baffling is people still fall for it, comment on their posts and inbox them.

If one isn't greedy, then the best way to double your bitcoin is to buy bitcoin when price is low, as well as a hardware wallet, store the bitcoins there and forget about it, and hope there is a positive increase.

[Lucius]

Damn, didn't knew that Bitcoin doublers is still big thing in 2019. When I just started 4 or 5 years ago, there was so many doublers.

Not only do they exist, but their numbers have not really dropped. They continue to use the old methods of advertising over faucets, and many of them use PTC platforms as well since beginners are still mostly trying to make money for free. Of course, this type of fraud is also adjusting to the new era by finding potential victims on social networks in a one-on-one approach.

Only last month I report 15-20 of such sites to Google safe browsing because I see no other way to prevent them from cheating people. Unfortunately, advertising networks&PTC (crypto related) do not filter advertisements/pages like this, they just want to earn as much as possible.

[lobat999]

Any scheme that is "too good to be true" should immediately make us suspicious and should avoid it all at once! I believe this things will continue forever as long as there are still unsuspecting naive people who didn't use their common sense and continuously falls prey to this kinds of traps!

Greed which is inherent to us and the temptation for "easy money"  are both fuels to this frauds that needs to be extinguish or controlled within ourselves. Imho.

[Pmalek]

I don't understand how people are so naive. They think bitcoin is like free money for everyone.

Have you ever seen someone asking "Please, deposit some money in my bank account and I will give you the double you send back to you!"

Believe me I have asked the same question many times. The most logical answer is that they have no idea what Bitcoin is and how it is created. We know it needs to be mined but they don't nor do they care to research about Bitcoin. They have heard that it is something of significant value that can be sold for profit and that is all they see. Maybe they have tried a faucet or two a couple of times and believe Bitcoin is mined by clicking a few buttons on your PC and everyone gets some eventually. 

[bitmover]

...and believe Bitcoin is mined by clicking a few buttons on your PC and everyone gets some eventually. 

Lol
That's the status of our ecosystem.
Maybe more basic material is necessary.

I am happy that the ico crazy is over. Scammers made so much money that time.

[Lafu]

The most logical answer is that they have no idea what Bitcoin is and how it is created. We know it needs to be mined but they don't nor do they care to research about Bitcoin.

The most of them that doing that dont know about what Bitcoins are and how it should be used.
They dont care about how it works and all because they only have the Dollar signs in there eyes and see the big money .

They have heard that it is something of significant value that can be sold for profit and that is all they see. Maybe they have tried a faucet or two a couple of times and believe Bitcoin is mined by clicking a few buttons on your PC and everyone gets some eventually. 

Guess the most new users dont know how the things working and there are a few that realy think its just a click on something and after an day they have it.
And exactly this new Users are falling into this Doubler Scams and lose maybe all there Money and thats why they should be warned about that .

If someone claims to have a scheme where you send BTC and receive more BTC back in exchange with no risk, they are a liar.  Due to a varying exchange rate, promising positive BTC returns is impossible for anyone to do.

The wrong thing here is that people do make themselves being blinded by their greed where if we do just think off sensibly about these too good to be true things then
nothing on this world would able to give or grant out that investment returns.

Didnt expect for these doublers do still exist yet this had been long time been known to be 101% scam.Owners of these scam ponzi sites doesnt really stop
as long they can milk out easy money from those greedy newbies out there.

We should keep in mind every single hints that a website is a scam. Especialky if the website is blatantly doing their schemes, we all can identify one if we just pay attention and taking safety seriously. Also, it's true that as soon as we stopped being greedy, we started helping ourselves to get away from anything harmful and anything that threatens our assets. Laslty, never ever deposit any amount to any unknown and untrusted sites.
