The 10% Cripto SCAM

[Pete the Beat]

Is someone being approched by the 10% Cripto SCAM ?


If someone can help it will be much appreciated;

Here's the story

I have an account with a broker where I requested a withdrawal to close this account.
The girl called me saying that she can't proceed with the withdrawal because the Blockchain is blocking her from proceeding with the withdrawal because I have a $300,000 in token sitting somewhere on the Blockchain and I have to receive it before proceeding with the Withdrawal.
She said I should deposit 10% of the amount ($30,000)  in my NDAX wallet to allow the transfer. She said I won't have to transfer it into any obscure wallet. Everything remains in my NDAX and I will be able to withdraw this $30,000 once the transaction completed.

The fact that my money stay in my NDAX wallet is confusing  me.

Question: Legit or SCAM ?

Curiously I've been contacted by 4 folks in two weeks telling me that they found big money on the Blockchain which belong to me and they all requested me to invest 10% of the amount to unlock the trransaction.
Unlike the previous case, they all asked me to transfer the money into a portfolio they had created for me. Easy to identify as a SCAM. 

Is it even possible for someone to find tokens on the Blockchain they can link to me ?

Thanks for any help

Mate this is a pure scam, one that is clearly written for everyone to see. Don't think twice if it may or may not work. Just flew.

Question: Legit or SCAM ?

SCAM
No one can help you in this kind of situation. The bitter truth you don't want to hear is that you should just forget about the money and move on with your life.

This $30,000 that is in the said wallet is not entirely your money; I assume you gave the scammer girl a few dollars to invest and trade for you, and the result was this $30k in a broker site controlled by them. The address on that account belongs to them. Even if you make the payment of the said 10%, you will still not be able to withdraw it.

It's payment upon payment, excuses upon excuses, which will require you to pay more money. Until you get tired and decide to stop,
I will advise you to abandon the site and those fake withdrawal promises because they will never come out.

Thanks a lot for confirming !!

First of all no blockchain could block your transaction, There are basically three states in which a transaction would remain,

• Pending
• Completed
• Finished

These terms represent the whole story, if you are saying your transaction is being blocked then no it might be in pending state, second, if your transaction is in pending state then what are the possible reasons behind it.

• High congestion on Network
• You have selected low transaction fee while other transaction with high fee have put you down on the list

If you do not remember to join any airdrop or any even from which you could get this much money, and still you are thinking to give them money first so that they could give you the money for which you have done nothing, i think you are falling prey to this scam. Yes, it is a scam, blockchain does not work like that, blockchain is just chain of blocks and each block consists of transactional data. Why would a block needs 10% to release your money.

I hope you would understand what i am trying to say.

When ever you intuition gives you that signal that you are about to get scammed make sure to always try as much as possible to trust that feeling, this has been the downfall of many when they see all the red flags about a potential scam and they still go ahead to fall for the scam.

You story right there is a pure scam no two ways about it, there is nothing like the Blockchain blocking your withdrawal, you only have transaction fees when trying to withdraw or commission fee if it's from an exchange and this can be taking from the fund and not requiring you to send additional funds for anything.

This is an obvious scam attempt. Well, scammers can create new token which they will send to different wallet address they can find that they also know your contact info like telegram before sending you a dm that you have tokens in your wallet and you can withdraw it. The story you told is also a scam and most of the scam scheme is they want you to deposit first before you can withdraw your balance. Better avoid that one just to be safe.

This is not a blockchain blocking the transaction from going and requesting a 10% fee. This is the scam broker website, which is showing the 10% fee before the OP could possibly request a withdrawal, and after the successful withdrawal, that's when it can be recorded on the blockchain (which will never even happen). Those are just stats the scammer wants to use to convince the OP to send in money in order to withdraw the tempting amount.

Its a trap. Scammers want to takes money from you. Ask yourself some simple questions- who gave you that amount of crypto? why the transaction got blocked? and how the hell did they know your wallet is awaiting to receive 30,000$ in crypto?

Ignore them, you are not getting anything from them.

[HajiBagi]

Is it a fraud, and did you ever have any contact with those individuals? They are all scams because otherwise, how could someone call you and say that you are waiting for that kind of money? Scammers will do anything to get you to work for them for an extended period of time. Therefore, I urge you to never put your trust in anyone online, even if you have business with them in the past or have seen them in person.
In my opinion, based on your tale, this is a complete hoax; otherwise, they would not request a 10% charge from you and would still establish a new wallet for you. It is therefore preferable that you block the scammers or do not even respond to their calls or messages.

Do you really have that $3,00,000 in any of those tokens they are referring to which I am interested in knowing about? As already siad by others it's pure scam because blockchain has nothing to do with it and if your transaction is there with proper fees it will be added to the block nothing else so try not to indulge with them in any kind of business because they will definitely try to get you with more offers but don't fall for them.

You should feel and seen the outrageous plan or hidden agenda of these guys.

If you believe that you dont have funds online or think that you dont have that kind of fortune which magically appears on your wallet or becomes yours? Wouldnt you be suspicious? Its a trickster men dont believe in those guys.

From your story above, it is very important to be careful when approached by individuals who claim to have found money in your blockchain. The presence of such Requests to invest and transfer funds into the portfolio they create is a red flag indicating potential fraud. While we know blockchain transactions are transparent, it is highly unlikely for someone to randomly find a token specifically associated with you without the proper context or valid reason.

So my advice if I may say so, Stay alert and protect your assets by avoiding suspicious schemes that promise easy profits.

If anyone calls you and says its an "emergency" and they need money, do not send anything. Some asshats like to prey on human psychology and take advantage of getting aid and assistance.

Even if it is family or friends, it may actually be an AI-generated voice. So call them back (on a number which you know to be theirs) and ask them whether the situation really is accurate.

All this kind of attempts were nothing than a pure means to scam others, i will advise you to stay off their radar before they succeeded in attacking you, and what surprised me more is how you could have come across such people like this, you have to be very careful with the sites you visited online and the groups you join as well, they could be as dangerous as anything weird, they are scammer and are trying to hack you down by any slight chance they had with you.

Did you ever hodl any token or applied for one before? don't let them deceive you, that's another way to scam you, be vigilant and remain very careful.

reading that the blockchain is "blocking" her from proceeding with the withdrawal already shows she is trying to scam you, and then when she asks for the 10% "fee" to "allow the transfer" just further confirms that she is nothing but a scammer. not sure how much you lost, but I'm sorry that you lost some money.

The fact that my money stay in my NDAX wallet is confusing  me.

does she have access to your NDAX account? if not, what I think is, she is just trying to confirm whether you have $30k at your disposal and once you deposited the money in your NDAX wallet she'll make some kind of excuse to make you send the money to her in order the "fix" the "issue" about being blocked by the blockchain.

it's possible to link coins/tokens to a wallet but they won't know who they belonged to. the people that sent you an email are either the scammer you are currently in contact with or part of their group.

There is no such thing as blocking on blockchain since can control the blockchain. The fact they offer you to deposit 10% just to withdraw the amount that they found out is an obvious red flag becausea 10% for the transaction fee cost is overkill and they can just get it without telling to you if there's really a money in there.

If you don't know about that money then that is an obvious scam modus. How come they manage to contact you? Do you provide your contact details in public such as social media account of your broker becau se scammer will surely attempt to scam you by impersonating as support.

I think the broker platform that you used is a scam. Can you mention its name? This girl who contacted you is undoubtedly from the scam poker platform team and tried to access your contact information and messaged you. We point out that if you already own $300,000 of tokens on the blockchain, why not your withdrawal process completed without you receiving these tokens? You mentioned that the NDAX wallet was created for you, and they have security methods and wallet information, and this means that after you deposit 10% of the amount, which is $30,000, they will open the wallet and transfer the funds that you deposit immediately. What they mentioned to you are false inducements, and you do not have $300,000 of tokens on the blockchain; what I know is that the blockchain does not ban any transactions for anyone. No legitimate broker platform demands such exorbitant fees from its customers to proceed with the withdrawal process. You also mentioned that four others contacted you like this girl with the same temptations, so do not believe them at all.

[khaled0111]

I agree with albon, since you posted this in the accusation board then I think you should share the name of the broker and the profiles of the four persons who contacted you and asked you to invest 10% to unlock the transaction. This may save other members from falling victims to those scammers.

Theoretically, it's possible. If you share your address with someone then he'll be able to see how many tokens you own and if there are any pending transactions. But am sure this is not the case here. They are lying to you.
