[Baofeng]

Lately, there has been a lot of buzz from our locals regarding cyber criminals exploiting the name of well known personalities in our country here¹ and here².

But they are not done yet, those cyber criminals are now exploiting the name of famous hacking group, Anonymous. So that's how brave and bold those bad actors are.

So I might sound a broken record again, but I do hope newbies and experience crypto investors shouldn't fall for this kind of trick.

The moniker 'Anonymous' has long been tarnished and associated with bad things even though they are doing some things for the greater good. Anyone can use the name anyway so anyone can be Anonymous, so it's not new that some radical groups would pop out and do these sort of stuffs. Even though these groups say that they will devise a new system to take the riches out of the few, there is still a possibility that even the normal people would be targeted, so it's best to stay vigilant at all times no matter what happens.

It was only a few days ago that I've read about bitcoin revolution scam and now this? Fraudsters sure are quick to move.

This "make everyone rich" reminds of the huge local group that were busted by the Philippine SEC. I wouldn't be surprise to see another ponzi investment scheme to be run by this group since there are still gullible people who believes there is an easy way to get rich.

Scammers nowadays are very intelligent too, they are always looking way to fraud naive people with sweet promises of quickly and make anyone rich even though that it obvious Ponzi scheme. We have nothing to do about this is to keep vigilant and don't entertain strangers on the internet.

If you found a website that you feel they are fraudster or Ponzi scheme, you can help others to avoid by simply reporting them in ScamTrackers. The only way to avoid them even how anonymous they are.

Every method what makes everyone rich is not working sorry. There will be hyper inflation and nothing more

They are both intelligent and cunning, they have been improvising and innovating themselves every day only to scam and rob individuals. Imagine if they could utilise the same amount of energy in some constructive work, the world would have been very different.

I don't know if those hackers are the real "Anonymous" or some imposters.It's really hard to find out.
What does "exploiting vulnerable crypto markets" mean?What makes a crypto market vulnerable?I guess the article author means crypto exchange platforms with security vulnerabilities.
Nowadays everyone with a brain will not trust such "promises that make everyone rich".

[rhomelmabini]

If they have said so that few will only be rich that'll be more truthful in a sense. Even if their site got reported they will still manage to make another one unless they will be traced and arrested nothing will happen.

Well, I guess the Anonymous will take down another Anonymous that's really interesting to see.

I'm sure they're not that more like "AnonyMouse" scammers to me.

Scammers are clever in a way that they can effortlessly find another approach to mislead individuals when somebody has busted their system, it's the reason behind why we should neither trust nor accept anybody's promises because we can't easily determine their real intention. Novices must be aware of such incidents so they won't end up being on a situation wherein someone's taking advantage of them and they still don't have any idea. In that way, they can protect their personal information as well as their funds and assets.

Well, Anonymous could be said to be a group of people that is against the government, and using their name to promote an advertisement should be quite good don't you think? Plus, they themselves should know that the internet provides a large amount of privacy if they do well with regards to information management, so it's free advertisement plus might even scam a lot of people if not noticed much earlier.

As for it being the real Anonymous group, I really doubt so. I mean, it's pretty low key don't you think? If it were the real anonymous, I'd guess that there's a likely chance that something big is going to come out of their actions, and this type of tryhard? It just doesn't cut out imo.

Well, it sounds like this anonymous group acting like a whale. They assume that they know how the market vulnerable is and it makes you to have a huge profit and makes you rich if you are listening to them. It sounds weird but I am sure that a real crypto enthusiast will never easily believe on that news made by unknown people. Indeed, there's no easy way to make you rich quickly, I may suggest that directly invest in Bitcoin than believing anonymous person on the internet. It's quite safe than investing in any Ponzi scheme platforms.

The experienced ones won't buy to that quote of "make everyone rich". As I thought, that group is an hacktivist and not that a kind of to fool and steal people's money.

Yeah, just what I know about them they're fighting for the rights and don't do this, so it could be a fake group but there's also a slim chance that they are.

This is pretty saddening..... Do you know why? Well that's because those who are trying to come into the crypto space will start thinking crypto is scam. However, sooner or later, they'll all end up knowing the real truth.

Normally, we all should know that no one gives free money. It saddens me to see how people fall for scam all in the name of receiving free money with the get rich quick scheme. Well, I hope we don't fall for such and those who fall, ibhope they learn their lessons and never get scammed in an obvious manner anymore.
