Scammers are increasing

[LbtalkL]

From my whole time on crypto, scammer are always there, Since I join crypto last 2017 they keep messaging you on email, telegram, twitter and other social media. On telegram they are pretending to be an admin or support copying username and modify it a little bit to fool you. They are persistent I keep blocking and reporting them but they keep coming. So the best thing to do is never trust anyone when someone contact you suddenly without stating his/her business with you, dont entertain them. Always verify the source there are a lot types of scams be careful everyone.

Yes, and now i want to share my experience here and i am sorry if my english is bad or wrong grammars.

In past few weeks at home because lockdown, i have been playing with line nearby.
searching some girls to chat with in boredom.

first I got add by some nearby chinese girls that using very pretty chinese girl's pictures.
I was chatting with them, talk about bla2.. but they said they are staying in china but they were adding me from nearby so they should be in same country
(I live in makati, Philipine)
They got similiar stories like divorce because husband cheating, didnt have kid, age around 25-29, live in china/hongkong
I dont know if they are one person or team

they were asking me to investing on some crypto like wtc, aeec or register on aec digital exchange.
the crypto is gonna boom, etc.

I have been asking them to video call, to prove their real identites but they had been rejected so many times.
for all, beware and careful...

With the recent price increase of BTC, the number of scammers are also increasing. Yesterday I saw a few people posted bitcoin doubler scam link on one of my facebook group. Since the price is increasing, such scam method will also increase. Do not trust any lucrative offer you get, please check on google before putting your money.

You really told the truth.Actually I am also facing this kinds of doubler sites.Thats why I already posted about it to make awareness through the beginners. Here is my topic link https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5246798.msg54385826#msg54385826

Thank you for posting all of these examples and kind of explaining it. I'm a new person and although I am still learning and wrapping my head around this new concept and how it works, it really helps to see what kind of scams there are to avoid (even if some are common sense, others don't seem to be as much for a completely new person). I hope this information reaches others too, before investing or giving out information! Thanks again!

This information is really great, especially for newcomers They can easily see the activities of the scammers and learn something. The number of these scammers is increasing due to the rise in the price of the currency in the crypto market. They are bringing more and more new currency markets and showing greed to make more profit Newcomers are more affected by them So try to stay away from any new currencies and links You have to work carefully and analyze the market well before investing.

Forums and all social media and email are the place. In fact, you will also find it in Google and Google Store searches (fake wallets and other extensions). Every space we have scammers is hiding, so raising awareness and not easily trusting people you dont know is a must.

Most of it is common sense. If you apply the same logic you use in real life to your online life and the crypto industry you should be fine. Just remember that nobody will give you free money, same way that there is no free money in real life. You have to work for it.
Anyone promising you fixed and high profits are trying to scam you.
Anyone contacting you for the best offer of your life is lying to you. 

However if you are the kind of person who trusts random people on the streets, puts his fingers inside the mouth of an unknown dog, and takes unknown pills from strangers at the club, sooner or later you will get hurt.

Presently now, the awareness of bitcoin has spread globally due to the halving. Scammers do find it as a tricky moment to give out undiluted promo of doubling their amount the invested within 7-9hrs.

The simple way of spotting scammers is when the pm you first on social media asking you to invest and make quick  profit on their platform easily

The numbers of scammers are not diminishing, and they are very innovative in what they are doing, imagine the Facebook and Youtube giveaways, it's hard to imagine that they can hack or bought this popular Youtube channels and use it to scam people and people thought it's all legit.

Scammers are increasing because they are making money, every scamming strategy they put in place works on many innocent victims, this year many have lost money to crypto scam, they are everywhere, telegram,Twitter, Facebook, forums etc ,you are the only one responsible for keeping yourself safe

make sure that when you join a certain project that you follow all their official social media platforms and just stick to those. join most specially their telegram group as this should be the most real time of all socmed platforms

[Eugenar]

Scammers are getting high because they know that they will get more money because of the increased of bitcoin, there would be many transactions happen when the price of the bitcoin is high and it will be easy for the hacker to take actions on that transaction, especially with those people who don't put good secured in their accounts.
There are no investment websites that will make your investment double for just a few days, that is obviously a scam, do not believe those offers, it is still better to invest with those investment websites that offer small amount in return legitimately

[ultrloa]

Provably the crisis creates new scammers since of the people are desperate to gain money due to hunger but I'm not pointing all reason for this assumption since that one is just one of the reason why the numbers is growing up and also maybe the big reason on why because this is the effect of digital age where many scumbags gain confidence to fool people because they know they cannot be sued easily.
