PAXAUSDT.COM SCAM

Unfortunately, scammers are never going to rest until they get there next victim and even when the scheme seems saturated, they still try just to find that one ignorant person. It's the second time this year am getting approached by a scammer and this time, the scammer comes with a different tactics.

I got contacted by some u know user just hours ago. I would have loved the photo to be displayed but apparently, this is unlikely to be the user behind the mask and some innocent victim must have been used. I didn't engaged in any discussion with this person because, there is an obvious red flag about it. So, I received this message:

I did a little search on the website on Google and a lot of scam alerts popped up and scamrate.com provided a review that had some interesting details about it when I searched there 'Whois Records'. The details:

I must say, I'm not really good at these discoveries or can fully understand all that is presented before me but for a site that was just registered only a few days ago, has low volatility and someone comes to own so much on it already, it raises my caution.

NOTE: I never proceeded to do any form of business with them aside from research on the search after getting the anonymous message.

One key element to a scammer, especially one that doesn't prey on your emotions as in relationship scams is to use your greed against you. This has been there bane of success and here is a scammer trying to apply greed in a different way. Without going through the invest and get huge returns in minutes or few days, this scammer tries to stir up your greed to see if you would take the bate and try to steal from him/her while in fact, his or she could be either phishing for privacy details or maybe scam you through fees (My suspicion).

A thought for wonder if not scam, the why?
1. Why would a conscious crypto user on how vital privacy is to the system, would send someone his or her details erroneously and doesn't fail to delete almost immediately.
2. Why would the user be conscious of the fact that, details like this shouldn't be shared with anyone as confirmed in the last sentence of the screenshot and still proceeds to share it out to whom ever?

My thoughts is, this is another scheme in circle!

A friend of mine contacted me about this yesterday, I make my findings and told him it is a scam site. The URL link you posted is paxausdt[dot]COM, but the link he sent me was paxlusdt [dot]com. This means very possible the scammer may still have other URL connected to the same domain which he/they want(s) to use for scam. With what I have checked about it yesterday, I know it is definitely a scam site, the domain was registered 3 days ago. The scammer(s) will only look for means to scam people.

Checking the URL I am redirected to the login page, I log in using the credentials and this is what I saw it's a trap before you can withdraw it you need to deposit if you are greedy you might fall for it.
This is a proven scam method it's an old scam trick surprised that they still use it.

You need to pay a deposit to use the vip level. If you don't use vip, you can refund and cancel the account. You will not lose any money.
Credit is required for "Receive money from others" and "Exchange checks"
Transfer money to others" and "Generate a check" do not use your own limit
The higher the level, the higher the usage limit and authority. After the upgrade is completed for 60 days, if necessary, you can choose to cancel the account, refund the deposit, and return to VIP 0.
You need to recharge USDT and then upgrade to receive transfers from other users

Not sure if you were using a throwaway number on WhatsApp or not, but by googling the message in question, it seems that they're targeting services that offer such a thing...

I don't know what you mean by a throwaway number but, I must express concerns on this and hope you could do the favour of enlightening me more on it.

What is a throwaway number and how does a number come to be a throwaway number?
Is there any remedy for this throwaway number thingy?
Why would scammers target this sort of numbers?

Hope these aren't too much as, they are the questions that puzzle me at the moment. Meanwhile, my WhatsApp number is very official and is tied to me as much as the requirements for owning one connotes (Buying and registration).

[SFR10]

What is a throwaway number and how does a number come to be a throwaway number?

Basically, it's just free numbers that you can find on the internet, to use for verification purposes without revealing your real number.
^{Note: Don't use such services for important stuff!}

Is there any remedy for this throwaway number thingy?

Yes, just ignore the services that offer such things

Why would scammers target this sort of numbers?

Because anybody can easily "see/read" those messages; hence it could benefit the scammers ^{[unfortunately]}!

I don't know but you would be a fool if you believed someone was trying to get you a million dollars.
The problem remains how these scammers got your number and therefore you need to be more careful in posting your personal number with parties you do not trust while not clicking on any random link.

this site cannot be reported as a phishing link (will be locked quickly), but it is a scam and I doubt that it will not be deleted quickly.

Check ----> smspva.com you can get temp numbers with one verification message for social media anonymously.

I got the same message twice and I kept deleting them because I didn't know who the sender was and I wasn't ready to find out. I already have a comfortable site where I trade my usdt so I didn't even bother giving it a thought
