Hi there,
Earlier today I was approached by an unknown individual to me called 'Thomas Lowe'.
This happen on Discord, he must have found my Discord details through either the "Red Panda Mining" or "SMOS Linux" Discord group.
He told me I had won a price despite my lack of knowledge of even participating in anything.
Included was a promo code for the Ezdeficoin scam project, which would grant me a random amount of bitcoins in price between a certain range.
Upon registering and entering my price promo code I initially received 0.35 BTC, which would not let itself be withdrawn unless a deposit was made of 0.01 BTC in order to comply with EU legislation regarding cryptocurrency dating 2018, according to Ezdeficoin.com (see screenshots for more details).
I've tried converting the amount to ETH in a futile attempt to be able to withdraw without depositing.
The chat on the website seems to be faked, unresponsive to anything I ask fellow users, or perhaps my messages are excluded as I've never shown any faith in the platform by depositing.
Initial approach by Ezdeficoin.com to recruit me.https://imgur.com/HzGndVlInability to withdraw "won price" due to "2018 EU legislation".https://imgur.com/EL0U0AjHow in the earth a site gets 2800+ new customers a day when they launched only less than a month ago 2021-03-29 LOL
Anyone with a little common sense should know that such reality do not exist.
Naturally I'm not going to pay in order to "claim my price", I just so happened to come across this post through Google search and felt I had to clarify how they would reach 2800 users in a few days.
Interestingly enough, exdeficoin.com has an history page with claims going back as far as 2017 or 2018 even though the domain is brand new.
