[WARNING] Crypto casino scam on teh move again.

[edmundduke]

What it looks like:

They will approach you and say something like this: Hey, i have seen you on gambling telegram or in a casinos chat room and i have a deal for you. They offer you an "exploit" that would allow you to win easily but they want 30% in return. They often offer screenshots etc of admin panel and so on.

They then give you a link to a casino and ask you to deposit there. BUT in reality, they control the casino and once you deposit, the money is theirs. And you have been scammed.

This is an old scheme but scammers are still using this method, three or four years ago when this method was exposed but many are still not aware of this the rule of the thump is never trust people who are friendly to you and tell you about bugs or exploits because if the exploit is true they will not share it to anyone and continue to exploit those bugs, it pays not to be too friendly especially on telegram I found out that these people are faking their profile they even call you and use a female voice which is a software so you'll fall to their scheme, schemes like this always comes out from time to time, because there are always willing victims.

It is an old one for sure and like all the other scams, it keeps on coming back.

While many of us are quite educated here about these scams, theres still so many that are not and they will fall victim at some point. All it takes is a small lapse in judgement and some disctraction/weaker state of mind and its so easy to make a bad decision. Ive been scammed before and im sure i will be in the future aswell, best to take it as a learning experience.

That's what I noticed and it truly is an old one but can't be stopped and there will be new victims of it. As long as they see people that are still becoming victims of this old trick, this old trick will continue to live.

Exactly.

We're aware of many of their scam ways but there will always be the beginners that are not yet aware of such will be targeted by them. And sadly, they're likely to fall for it easily.

I saw a thread made by @Coin_trader and i thought id share a scam i have seen popping up again aswell. This has happened 4 times in the last 2 weeks, so im guessing the same group/individual is at it again.

What it looks like:

A account will contact you on one of the social platforms or apps. (For me it has happened on Twitter, Telegram and Discord). The account will often have a tag or something related to the casino they "represent" and act as a dissapointed employee/mod.

They will approach you and say something like this: Hey, i have seen you on gambling telegram or in a casinos chat room and i have a deal for you. They offer you an "exploit" that would allow you to win easily but they want 30% in return. They often offer screenshots etc of admin panel and so on.

They then give you a link to a casino and ask you to deposit there. BUT in reality, they control the casino and once you deposit, the money is theirs. And you have been scammed.

This happened to a friend of mine aswell a few weeks ago, and he fell for it (small loss luckily). As he went to withdraw, they asked for his KYC aswell. So not only can you loose all your money, they get your ID aswell.

In short, be careful out there. Crooks are getting creative.

People are really falling for such a lame attempt?

That's ridiculous.

I won't say they are getting creative, it's just stick to the book and let the greed overtakes the mind. Because how can you even start trust someone with a random website used to say its a casino?

If they tried to create an exact replica of an existing reputed casino and make you to deposit your money there then it's called creative but here they are just pointing you to deposit a random website they used to work and and you are falling for it that's why its dump thing to do.

Money never comes easy and if someone says so then ask them why they're not the richest person on the planet.

Never leave your common sense behind when you're gambling, that's the general rule.

You're at a very disappointed state and some shady man in black robe approaches you, this isn't DND and you're not getting any form of power from following him, at best you're going to get looted. So it's always best to stay vigilant and not let your greed take over your mental. Once you let it take you down, you're done for.

If it's too good to be true, it most likely is, a casino exploit? Given for free by someone you barely know over the internet? That's just a great example of that! Keep your wits about you and don't gamble belligerently, don't be stupid.

in short, don't entertain strangers offering too-good-to-be true promos or deals. also, if it is unsolicited PMs, doubt their motive. most of the time, these fraudsters are lurking around and checking who will take their bait.
and also, if someone sent you a PM in any of the social media channel. just ignore it if he is offering any kind of service. they are not scared to screw people because they are operating anonymously. so no one can chase them.

It keeps coming back because it's pretty smart. The guy distracts you from the real danger by talking to you about how the casino is bad for him and he wants to teach them a lesson for not paying him, he'll talk about the exploit and you focus on this aspect, whether he is the real admin on the site, if there really is an exploit, if it's not a way to make you deposit and lose money gambling. Most people don't think that the whole casino is fake, which is where they lose.

I have a rule in general that if someone contacts me it has to be with a question, a problem I can help them solve. If they have a "deal" for me, even though they don't know me at all, it's always a scam.
People won't come to you with a job or an opportunity to make easy money. They'll contact their friends and family first.

Lol....this isn't even creative in anyway.... It's actually been a long time I realized this scam format and I don't think I can fall for something as cheap as this... It happened to someone very close to me - but fortunately, I was able to identify the scam early enough...
It's not a technical move as you may think - I can guarantee that no casino would do such a favour to it's customers.

would you mind sharing the names of the accounts who contacted you from those three platforms? I am not saying that you are lying or anything, I just think it will be good for the community to know what are the usernames of the accounts who contacted you.

They will approach you and say something like this: Hey, i have seen you on gambling telegram or in a casinos chat room and i have a deal for you. They offer you an "exploit" that would allow you to win easily but they want 30% in return.

people with common sense will realize that this is clearly a scam attempt. those who will fall for it are either greedy or a moron, or both(no offense to your friend).

They often offer screenshots etc of admin panel and so on.

if they show screenshots like this, you should report it directly to the gambling site.

[BenCodie]

Unfortunately I could see many naïve gamblers falling for this as "an exploit" to win more than the house is a gamblers wet dream. Of course it seems a little more legitimate when they ask for a percentage as well.

However, this is classic phishing. If you are so naïve to even respond to a stranger on telegram who is sending you a link that requires you to deposit or register details, you should spend less time gambling and more on threat prevention.

[Wexnident]

They then give you a link to a casino and ask you to deposit there. BUT in reality, they control the casino and once you deposit, the money is theirs. And you have been scammed.

Is there anyone dumb enough to fall for this (Okay your friend counts, but still)? It's like sending money to a random bank account number that you typed by slamming your head into your keyboard. It's not even a scam, it's just them asking "Yo you got some money, can you give it here since you gamble it all anyway" kind of thing. If I were to describe it, well, it's relatively close to how a phishing link works, just that it's more specific.

Find your own casinos people. This is why I don't accept messages from unknown accounts. They're more likely to be scams than not.

[nelson4lov]

general rule: if it seems too good to be true, it probably isn't.

Unfortunately these scams continue to run because people believe that it is easy to get rich at the expense of others and they think that there are actually people on the internet who want to provide you with opportunities to get rich.

this discussion/warning, although it is connected to the gambling sector, I believe it should be included on scam accusations board.

You just quoted one of my favorite quotes of all time. Since I learnt that quote, I have lived by it and it has guided me to avoid plenty of scam attempts by scammers. I hope plenty of people do because if they did, we'll have less and less successful scams. And focus efforts on least obvious attacks like actual hacks.

Believe it or not, there are still plenty of people that will line up to risk this and eventually lose money. Most people have insane greed in them and these kind of scammers look to exploit such greed. I have had some contact me before on telegram earlier this year about knowing an exploit to win games in a casino but I simply just blocked him/her.

The reality is that, if it's too good to be true, Its not true. If the scammer knew a way to exploit the casino, I'm sure they won't give out that privileged info but exploit it themselves.

[Slow death]

They then give you a link to a casino and ask you to deposit there. BUT in reality, they control the casino and once you deposit, the money is theirs. And you have been scammed.

I confess that I have been hearing about this type of scam for some time, even here on the forum there have been many times when new casinos appeared and the representatives made few posts and after some people deposited money in the casino, the casino disappeared. This type of scam is the most common, when the scammer does not have the money to run a subscription campaign, or realizes that the thread he created on this forum is not bringing in customers or that the link he placed on the review sites is not working. bringing customers, then the scammer becomes desperate because the casino's operational costs don't stop and there are no customers for him to steal, so he starts sending spam on the telegram and discord channels

Sometimes they even send emails to many people and offer high sign-up bonuses and place minimum values of $5000 as a bonus eligibility condition, for example the scammer says: "deposit $5000 and receive a 500% bonus". In the past this would attract many people, but nowadays many people already know that bonuses have high wagering requirements and therefore are not worth it, which is why people prefer to stay in old and reliable casinos that give VIP account bonuses that in In my opinion, they are the best bonus. Anyway, I always tell people to be very careful with new casinos

It doesn't make any sense for people to deposit a lot of money in a new casino that created an account less than 3 or 6 months ago, because people don't just put in $100 or less money and test the casino for a while, and that's if they do a lot of research first. before creating an account. But what I see is that people seem to have some kind of attraction to new casinos and use more than 10 casinos, that's something I don't understand, why does someone need to have an account at many casinos? I don't understand

[dothebeats]

I've been sent countless messages on my telegram as well, though I immediately move these guys into spam and just avoid reading their message nor replying to them. It helps make them feel deterred on what they want to do which is something that we want to happen. If you continuously ignore their efforts to reach out and connect, they'll eventually stop and think that you're not a valid target and that they are better off targeting other people.

People, just ignore those who send you a PM giving you too good to be true offers. They don't like it when they get ignored, but they'll stop after a couple of messages.

[ralle14]

I've also been getting a few of them, but I never respond to any of their contacts since I always enable a specific setting on my account where I only receive messages from people I know and those in my friend list.

I would've said the same thing to others, but that's how some people are, even if they know a thing or two about scams. They sometimes lose common sense and don't think properly when they're close to getting what they desperately need.

[sunsilk]

It is an old one for sure and like all the other scams, it keeps on coming back.

Most people don't think that the whole casino is fake, which is where they lose.

That's they connect with their potential victims, they're going to get you through good conversations so that you won't even have an inch of thinking that they're going to scam you. This is a modern day technique and not just happening online but also in real life. I've seen people really going to take care of you but from the very start, they have the intention to do ill and scam you.

Yeah, it was all planned and ployed until you take and get into their trap without knowing that deep inside these people they're thinking that there's one victim that they're going to take their money.  That is why trust no one in the internet even the people that you know because when money talks, they'll show their true nature.

I have a rule in general that if someone contacts me it has to be with a question, a problem I can help them solve. If they have a "deal" for me, even though they don't know me at all, it's always a scam.
People won't come to you with a job or an opportunity to make easy money. They'll contact their friends and family first.

It's always sketchy when out of nowhere someone tries to tell you, "Hey! We've got an opportunity for you to make money!" Like what are they doing telling people these opportunities if they can do it on their own, right?

They can keep that opportunity and do it as much as they can until that opportunity runs out and gone into nothing. But, a simple logic as it is, many still take the trap that they create.

[davis196]

They will approach you and say something like this: Hey, i have seen you on gambling telegram or in a casinos chat room and i have a deal for you. They offer you an "exploit" that would allow you to win easily but they want 30% in return. They often offer screenshots etc of admin panel and so on.

I remember that there was a post on the forum Blackhatworld, where a guy was explaining how to get more gambling affiliate commissions by promoting such fake "casino exploit" on Telegram. The method was basically the same, but the guy was asking various gamblers to signup to a casino by using his affiliate link and make a deposit. This wasn't a direct scam, but rather a misleading and blackhat way to make money.
I guess that somebody "upgraded" this method by adding fake casino webpages, where the users can "deposit" coins.
That's why I don't trust anyone, who contacts me on social media about gambling/investment offers.

[Kakmakr]

So, if you fall for a scam like this, you are not the victim ...you are a criminal that are scammed. If you buy a fake "Rolex" at a cheap price, then you are scamming the company that are making the original watch.... or if you buy a real "Rolex" from a shady street corner... then you are probably buying a stolen watch. (Someone might have lost their lives for that watch in a armed robbery)

Let's not beat around the bush.... if you doing that, then you should be scammed... no matter if you are thinking that you are stealing from a casino. 

[Hypnosis00]

This kind of strategy is a very obvious scam. First, why would you deposit in a certain casino without checking its reputation first? I mean, maybe gamblers who receive these messages are both greedy and gullible as they easily get victimized by scammers. Anyone can say, 'Hey, make a deposit and you will win easily. I'll tell you how to do it, but give me 30% when you win.' The question is, what if you lose?

Anyway, thanks for sharing this, OP. Newbies may be victimized, but those who aren't new to the gambling world, this trick would not work on them.

[ethereumhunter]

It's true that criminals are getting creative and can see opportunities to scam people. We should be more careful if we see an offer that looks too good to be true. Don't just join and deposit money if that's the requirement, but look for as much information as possible until you understand it. It does take time but at least it will prevent you from falling into the criminal's trap and you won't lose your money. We do not have to respond to those who make such offers. We can report them to the person in charge so that other people know about them and can also avoid them.

[Wind_FURY]

general rule: if it seems too good to be true, it probably isn't.

this discussion/warning, although it is connected to the gambling sector, I believe it should be included on scam accusations board.

Another rule is never play in a cryptocurrency casino that isn't verified as safe to play by the trusted people of the forum, especially campaign managers because they are incentivized to be honest.

People might find it laughable because I'm in a casino's signature campaign, but having a signature campaign is an encouraging indicator that a casino is safer compared to those casinos that are in Telegram.
