Newbies attention. Don't get trap yourself with greed.

This has been going on in many different shapes and forms. It is always a brand new site and it always involves that the victim has to deposit money for some activation/verification purposes. I have taken part in legit gambling promotions where I received free coins and there is no need to deposit any money to make a withdrawal. A rollover requirement can exist but nothing else.

[minairia3]

The best prevention over this is totally avoid strangers that will approach you. If the person is indeed persistent just automatically block him/her. I noticed most of them are using girl photo to attract or to avoid suspicion. This will not work if you dont allow here to talk to you and as a hint many of them are always insisting to talk about transaction and fund which might an obvious clue that they are after something...

[sujonali1819]

Some similar sites that I have found in this forum and the internet. By depositing these sites you must be scammed and by visiting these sites you can be phished. Because most of them will try to redirect to a phishing site. So There is no alternative to awareness to avoid it.

There are a lot of scammers in this virtual world, so you better be careful about trusting others, especially when they are offering rewards for you, which is there a way to persuade you to believe them. So be wise do not be so greedy anytime, there is no easy money in this virtual world, you all need to work hard for it to achieve what you really want.

I was confused, why you keep on sending money if you already know that it is a scam, do you think that he will give back 30$ to you? That is impossible. If the scammers already got his or her needs to you, then he or she will leave you.

Please do not trust any sites that require you to give out your money to them. Do not invest your money in the sites that have no reviews. Be wise and research everything.

This one is added in the list. Since in the list I have only added some fake site, I did not add the Youtube chanel link there.
And I have already read your thread of how to report... , Great works you did. Thanks for helping the community.

Definitely, there are lots of scammers out there especially here in this forum, to those newbies who really want to earn, make yourself well informed first before getting involved in any business. There are lots of techniques that scammers do just to get what they want from you, it is indeed true that you should not trust anyone you do not know online especially here in the forum because they might be intentionally want to get your money. You should study not only the forum but everything including the cryptocurrency, its nature and how to use it. There is also different information you should know before making any transaction like for example sending money to a project because there are some projects who really accepting only a particular coin. Make yourself knowledgable first before making any steps here.

[Appelteven]

This kind of scam theme existing here for too long even I did face the same situation a couple of times but gladly I knew this strategy from other forum members earlier itself so just have fun with the user then laugh at him finally.

This is a great way to kill time when you are bored, but make sure making money is not that easy.

Glad to be thrifty

[oliverpack]

Good topic! Thanks for your great warning. A detailed story about a scamming method. Good traps usually strike at human's greed. I've learned many thing from your post, and will watch carefully before joining any floor. Thank you!

[BayAngelo]

what could be done to stop or reduce scams in our financial places. the rate at which people are been scammed is getting out of control. Newbies should be careful because they are always the primary target. i have lost about 0.5 BTC when i started this crypto due to scams. mostly on ponzi platforms. they keep stealing from people without control. everyone should be careful

The main issue why cryptocurrency enthusiasts fall for this is less a matter of experience and more of greed. Most if this scam attempts are pretty easy to spot if one is not temporarily blinded by the prospects of some quick and easy bucks, and during this period they are susceptible to scam requests like activation fee to withdraw cash from a website.

The internet is a very dire space and if an offer is just a little bit too good to be true, it probably is not true.

Confirmed that this exchange is a phishing site. For checking purposes when I try to visit I found a warning by EAL. Thanks for sharing here. I will add it to the OP. Keep the workup.


Edit: Added in OP.

New roulette site that are giving away 0.003 BTC  by promo code, don't make any deposit to these site or you will loss the fund. 

Code:

https://dentawallet.com/roulette

[demonica]

Those scammers are really good with their own reasons which are already scripted. we need to realize that there are so many frauds on the internet. that's why we need to be careful about engaging transactions with strangers on the web. this is a good example of how will they scam their victims. thankfully OP is fully aware of what they will about to do. this will be served as a warning to the newbies of this community.

Some scams may seems good at first glance, but when you've done some research you will eventually realize that they are just trying to tempt you with their offers. Frauds can be attractive, but we shouldn't trust anyone with our money just because it seems rewarding. Thus, we should check and be mindful of the methods that the scammers used to trick people. Don't easily believe their promises and offers because they will convince you that in order to obtain it you have to transfer some money.

Interesting thing is someone had asked me yesterday about this site but I didn't bother to open or click. After that person told he had a big amount of btc there and he was asking about website legitimacy. I directly ask him to withdraw your fund since I suspect it was a scam attempt. Them he told me he is unable to withdraw unless he make new deposits. So my suspension become true and I told him this is scam site even I didn't visited the site yet. If you made deposits means your fund will gone for forever.

Then I search this website on the forum and popup this thread. There is a big criminal team behind of such as scam. They always target innocent people who isn't much familiar with cryptocurrency and they got success that's how. Any website asking deposit to make withdrawal is scam. Simple logic..

Ha Ha. Maybe the same one who is asking for a help, It also happened with Royse777, He also created a post here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5240454
I guess who is promoting the same roulette site with the same design is the same person or team. I have also won 0.003 BTC from near 1000$ in another roulette site  that is described in OP.

[BayAngelo]

i fell for this scam when i joined the crypto campaign newly. i participated in lots of scam programs on telegram where we send bitcoins and received 70% of our rewards with the idea that when we introduces new members, our payment will be completed.  i think i have lost close to 1 btc to these kind of scams and it is good to remind newbies of the dangers involved in this.

[Krislaw]

There's also this scam though it's outdated but it's about being PMed by someone and they tell you they are an admin on a roulette website and they can make you win by showing you proof. They make any player win(though they are bots). Just ignore because they could have made their family wealthy by sharing with them.

Good thing you've learned your lesson. You've put life of many innocent people's funds at lose because of greed.
