(In progress, because they haven't asked me to deposit any BTC or pay them to withdraw my bitcoins)Wow I'm really impressed these scammers have really geared up. I just received below message and it goes like this.
So apparently you receive a message like this, claiming your bitcoins deposited, with web address of a valid exchange (almost) and userid and password.

Of course I'm not John but this 9.8 BTC is so tempting so let's check and verify.. a quick verification process..
1. BTC to USD amount? pretty accurate... ✔
2. Exchange Web site? looks legitimate... ✔
3. Login userid and password? yeah it works... ✔
4. Login successful and you see your 9.8 BTC ... ✔

Wow this is one amazing portfolio... and on the exchange every thing is working, no broken links.
Now can I withdraw may 9.8BTC please?
Ok let's try.. so yes I can withdraw... but wait there is some limit for my own safety of course, it says...
"FIRST WITHDRAWAL LIMITATION:
To reduce cases of error withdrawals from new portfolios, we limit your initial withdrawal amount to 0.00011 BTC. You may withdraw any amount after successful completion of your first withdrawal. "Fine, i will withdraw 0.00011 BTC only ok ok

So there's an OTP, pretty very secure han? oh by my bad the phone number mentioned is wrong. That's not my number... ok let me try random OTP digits.. nope its not working!!!
Hmm so i think I should update my mobile number in my profile.

Nope. There is no option you can update your name of course from "
Private User" to any thing, you can change email... but phone no

well, ok they can change my number. Since they already have my number from first step when they sent me message so i guess no harm in giving them back my number again.

userID: 25621152
Pass: bighy76
Disclaimer: Try at your own risk... and I trust you bitcointalk so please don't change the password
Edit:I really don't know how but the original password they sent was
bighy76 but some how it's not working any more... but then i randomly tried
bighy766 and it worked.
Edit 2:Shocked!!!!!!!!!!!!, transaction is in progress on blockchain.com.... WTH is this sorcery?
https://www.blockchain.com/btc/address/1LxLitf3CehvywuxEPnQXnDCdZJzhy6SgqHiding some details... don't ask me why!!!!!
Update-1: another good news number is update successfully
![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Ftalkimg.com%2Fimages%2F2023%2F09%2F06%2FmRFYq.jpeg&t=665&c=YqqDMoby6RCqWw)
and now when I tried to withdraw, I did receive the OTP on my number
what is going on here? This is OTP isn't free... as far as i know scammer won't spend a single penny... why would they send me valid OTP.and it's working and BTC are on it's way... or i think so... because there no link to transaction it self just these messages..
