The scam of FAKE fixed matches

[Lorence.xD]

~
What's the catch?
Well... This match doesn't exist. Perhaps the teams will sound a little plausible, but then they will say [U23], which means that you can't bet on such a match anywhere.
The whole allure of this scam is to actually put your money in THEIR recommended bookmaker because it's going to be the only one accepting bets on this otherwise fictional match.
And then you'll be met with the harsh reality that this bookmaker only actually takes deposits, no withdrawals!

  I can't help but admit that this is a very clever scam. This reminded me of a story where a couple of years ago someone created a fake cricket league in India where actors played the roles of players, and scammers collected bets on the outcomes of such staged games.
In such stories, besides the ingenuity of the scammers, what also surprises me is that there are always people who fall for such nonsense, although minimal research should have turned them away from interacting with such shady companies.

Not familiar with the instance you have mentioned but I am more amazed by it given that there were acting done just just to pull up the scam which proves that scammers will do anything even the craziest ideas, just to get what they want. People being fooled with things involving money isn't a new thing right? And same viewpoint I have with this topic or discussion. I am a bit one of those who wants to laugh a the victims of fixed matches 'coz for me it is unfair. Those who would be betting on the opposite team of the biased, will be taken advantage of. Unfair that the ones who are playing things with fair and just are ones who will lose just because everything is scripted.

Truly that fixed matches scam is very common among telegram users,  I can't imagine how people fell to this simple trick of scam, how can I get some fictitious scores from anonymous individuals telling me to pay some money for some fixed matches honestly that is a red flag to me I can never subscribe to that type of channel because I knew from onset is a scam  infact majority of the telegram fixed matches providers do ask for upfront payment before they release those fixtures I believe that is blatant lie of course some of after receiving payment they consequently blocked their subscribers or release a fake fixture saying it's a sure one.

Greed and laziness would be able to explain the existence of fixed matches. Many people are interested with easy ways to earn money and this is what bad people are looking forward to. Gamblers who are thirsty of an easy win are their main targets. I don't get the part of disregarding personal passion because of money, even if there will be people who would be cheated on. Some gamblers took their life out of frustration and would you guys blame me if I'd see people who buys match fixing, murderers in such way?

WOW that's funny to me, people will always fall into the hands of scammers because we are 8 billion plus in the whole world, so among us we have people who still believes that scammers doesn't exist and many of them have not been scammed and most of them that have been scammed doesn't know that they have been scammed.
IMO scammers will continue to bring up more ways to scam people but we can only avoid them when we are very alert.
When we see one we make sure to share with evidence to others so that they will not fall in their hands as well.

If I ever saw a advertisement about a fixed match, I would not click it. There's no way that a fixed matches could be advertised publicly, even if it is a paid ones. So being advertised publicly is a major red flag, those who do real match fixing never share it as they spend a ton of money on making it possible. It's a scammer new way of scamming us gambler, I wonder how people are getting scammed by this. I will get it if it's newbies or new to the gambling industry but if it's a seasoned gambler, there's something wrong with that gambler. Desperation to win will just bring us to a dire situation like this, so always remember to be vigilant and stay out in this kind of offerings/scams.

[Antotena]

All this might sound too obvious to you but people unaccustomed to online gambling could easily fall victim to something like this.
It's sad how social media has made the process of scamming so streamlined actually...

Do you know that people that are docile to scam are people that see their desires as opportunities. When they see what they are looking for, they hardly check for any red flags. So you see the people that believe too much on fixed games, that's what they want to see and the wouldn't listen to another valuable information when they see their desire which is fixed games. Football and other sporting events are business, no one will comprises their position because they want to fixed matches for people to win because it's even forbidden for them to participate in gambling.

Facebook is one of the place where these fixed matches are saturated, if there is one thing I think Facebook has failed woefully is Facebook group moderation, even telegram groups aren't as useless as they look because when you see Telegram, they are obvious but Facebook as a community is a waste to see the way bad things happen in there.

I wonder why a scammer would be so honest with the intent of why such a site exists.
One of the ways leading to scam, is to start with a too good to be true offer that one can mostly only dream of, but people will take a chance at any gambling chance these days even with the name spelt out boldly as this, and such a chance at this gamble, may even not include casinos or lottery or slots. We never know what could pay off.

I never go for such fake fixed match predictions because it would of course be fixed and unlike any other money making scheme, it is sure to take advantage of ones funds and focus.

[DubemIfedigbo001]

This is so much of a professional fraud, looks so original. I've bumped into some of these posts on Facebook,  but being a person who hardly believes in some sort of fixed alien matches to reputable betting platforms, I just ignore them. They're very carry and must've spent Los of resources and time to put up this one.

This still raises the question why these guys thinks its only scamming people that can earn them a living. Since you can put this site together, what stops you from including a casino in it and go legitimate with adverts and bonuses to claim your crowd and make cool, legitimate funds?.

[Fortify]

This is another form of scam I've seen being promoted heavily.
So if you have even the slightest interest towards sports, you're likely to follow some teams' or atheles' social media accounts.
Instagram tends to freely share your personal information with "advertisers" which often just means scammers.
So this scam is often targeting sports fans through Instagram and Facebook.
And if you or your friends follow something related to gambling or sports you're likely to be targeted by such ads promoting this scam.

So let's examine what this scam is about.
If you click into an ad promoting this type of scam, you'll be prompted into a Telegram channel where supposedly information about fixed matches is provided.
As you probably already know, scammers love telegram.  
The room will be populated with a long history of highly polished messages about supposed information and past success stories.
However, what matters most is the most recent message in the channel.
This message will mention the exact score of a supposed fixed match.

What's the catch?
Well... This match doesn't exist. Perhaps the teams will sound a little plausible, but then they will say [U23], which means that you can't bet on such a match anywhere.
The whole allure of this scam is to actually put your money in THEIR recommended bookmaker because it's going to be the only one accepting bets on this otherwise fictional match.
And then you'll be met with the harsh reality that this bookmaker only actually takes deposits, no withdrawals!

The above is a rating someone left for this fake bookmaker called SpaceXlife. It appears that this scam operation has been running for 2 months.
Probably once the scammers feel like they've made enough they'll just switch to a new name and website.

All this might sound too obvious to you but people unaccustomed to online gambling could easily fall victim to something like this.
It's sad how social media has made the process of scamming so streamlined actually...

The idea that people are out there pretending to offer fixed match insider information is ridiculous, although they will probably have snagged some people if they make the pitch convincing enough. Some people are just too susceptible or gullible to greed, but we all learn through our mistakes. The main problem with such an idea is quite frankly, match fixing itself is illegal in most jurisdictions which makes it a dumb thing to advertise if you were doing it. Besides that, the actual people - the players - never want it to be known that they are effectively cheating and rigging the game, as it would crush their career. Then you have the idea that if everyone can find out what fixes are taking place, the bookmakers stop offering profitable odds on those markets.

I seen so many fake adverts and their referrals are basically to a telegram channel... I've been asking myself what really happens when they all get there until I decided to join one myself.. I did that because I didn't see any harm in trying to satisfy my inquisitiveness.
one of the things I realized was that they've made the telegram channel in a way that any spam/derogatory word will immediately be deleted; in anycase, nobody sees your plea, that could sometimes serve as a warning to others...
I had a similar complaint from a close friend when some group of guys discovered a way to activate sportybet balance adder... It was all FAKE!

If someone message you involving a fixed match sports betting through a referral, yeah it's likely a scam. Participating in such activities is not only against the law but also damages the fairness of sports. I remember it happens many times here in the Philippines like cock fighting and basketball tournament. It's important to clear of these situations to avoid legal trouble. Keep out for any such offers to prevent illegal activities in sports betting. Stay on the safe side by staying away from anything related to fixed match betting.

Why these scammers are winning because many gamblers focus on the rewards that are really tempting without thinking about what is really all about - scams. Not to wonder why innocent and greedy gamblers had fallen into this idea because what is in their mind now is the chance to become rich and the chance to change their life.

A fixed match is a clear scam, you bet they win. There is no chance of winning in this game and should not be ignored.

[magneto]

I've actually seen this one plenty of times. Kudos for the write-up.

Just using some logic should hopefully make it clear why this is a scam. Firstly, fixed matches are illegal, and why would anyone openly advertise the fact that they are in on fixed matches? Secondly, if there were indeed a professional match fixer, why would they let anyone else know, as that would diminish their profits?

Sometimes greed gets the best of people and they fall for this. But it is entirely avoidable.

[Kliss]

I don't really give attention to this online bullshit of fixed matches, because  even if matches are fixed the team involved will not open up. Because they will face big penalty or charges for fixing matches, and these guys or scammers online claiming they have fixed matches would have been millionaires because if you know the outcome already on your own, you will bet or stake high on games that are fixed and you will be winning frequently. That's why as a gambler it's necessary you follow up or be familiar with games that you bet on so that  scammers like this will not persuade you in believing in their fake antics to scam people of their money in the name of fixed matches.  I love sports games and I participate fully on sports betting I can never fall to these scammers because I know the games I play. Most times it could be these Betting platforms that sponsor these guys, for more people to play game on their betting platform  and to make money because many people do fall victim to these stuff.

I had no idea that such kind of scams are being promoted now. Thank you got sharing it with us, it's important to spread the latest scam stories as much as possible so that the majority of people are made aware and don't fall for the scam. It makes sense that these type scans are only done on games where there is no active market. Because otherwise people would just place their bets at their usual bookmakers. My best protection against the scam is probably that I only bet on bigger matches where there are a lot of different quotes. Just having one bookmaker alone offering quotes would make very skeptical, because who knows how competitive the odds are. I like to compare odds and payouts across multiple websites and take the best one for me.

Also, to stay away, trust your own assessment and analysis. There's nothing better than having your own knowledge regarding the game or sports that you are betting with. Those kinds of offers are only going to put you in big regret as there's no assurance that it will happen, a fixed match maybe happening but being part of it is something that's not easy to achieve. A large amount of money to facilitate, and the important factor is being out of sight of anyone.

So, if there's someone who's convincing you that you can generate huge money from these kinds of activities, most of the time, instead of gaining that kind of results, it turns against you, and you surely regret involving yourself in it.

Unfair that the ones who are playing things with fair and just are ones who will lose just because everything is scripted.

Taking into account the fact that now neural networks and enormous computing power are available for a very reasonable fee, in the future we should expect even more crazy scam projects where even actors will not be needed. For example, the same fake cricket league can be organized simply using neural networks. Plus, if you look a little further ahead, it will be possible to programmatically generate all the content around this - forums, discussions, pages in fake encyclopedias about these events, etc. It turns out that even if a person uses the search, he will get the impression that all this is real. The complexity of the task of distinguishing reality from fakes is becoming more and more interesting with the development of technology.

Well believe it or not there have been actual fake matches marketplaces but it was nothing like what I talked to in the OP.
For one, yes, anything advertised through social media involving gambling is likely to be a scam. META, Facebook's and Instagram's parent company, is notorious for accepting scam ads which lead people to being tricked again and again.

These will get reported and perhaps deleted but by that time the scamers don't care. They Just get new URLs, rebrand their marketing, and keep going. Or if the scam wasn't effective enough, they just create an entirely new scam altogether. It seems as though these scams are staffed by many skilled workers. Some being active in chat constantly, the websites and marketing materials being well designed and they even have support agents responding in due time for their fake websites. It's amazing. So it's easy to tell that these are well organized operations, even more organized than certain businesses I've known.

This type of scam will just fall for the newbie bettors or the ones that are desperate to win. By looking at this, it is too good to be true. If things are too good to be true, then doubt them and don't try them. Besides, why would they look for bettors to encourage them to bet on their "fixed match" if they can bet on their own because it is a fixed match? They just want to encourage a lot of people, scam them, and take profit from them.

But yes, there are several instances of fixed matches. Like the ones in the CBA where two teams were disqualified from the on-going season. According to a report, CBA specifically did not use the term "match-fixing" but instead "passive playing." But it's still the same: you're playing passively because you want the other team to win.

But still, availing of these fixed matches is a risk, and I do not recommend it. Do your own research on a particular game, and trust your skills and instincts. Do not believe in these so-called fixed matches.

[Frankolala]

Fixed matches do exist and they are common in low quality leagues or very low divisions of countries with great football yet they surely cannot be found distributed on predictions sites by some random dude.They keep it themselves,they are bet on by a small,very small circle that has the adequate info and they make money for themselves.Of course there are betting limits so the bets are dispersed on different bookmakers.That is how it works.

You might be right probably but I think opinion like this should not be made publicly considering how naive and gullible some people can be. Especially, newbies who just got into gambling and are desperate to make some winning . They'll bank on this information and would probably want to give it a trial since you justify that it actually exists despite one can not tell which is genuine or fake. I suggest we should frown against admitting that fixed match exist. Not because they do not but because people who are desperate will continue searching for it hoping to come across the legit ones. Fixed matches are not easily accessible to ordinary people and no one should waste their time looking for one because you'll end up falling victim to scammers. Telegram to be precise, is a scammers haven and those winning tickets you see there are not real but edited tickets. Stay away from fixed match and remain safe.

It is good that the OP brought such information here to give people the awareness of how this scammers operates. Anybody that want to look for a legit match fixing site, is a fool because gambling is a game of luck and anything that has to do with match fixing should be avoided no matter if it is legit or not, because majority of the are scam.

I don't bet on match fixing, but rather I bet on big leagues that will be impossible for match fixing so that I can enjoy the thrill and if possible win some little funds. Ignorant is not an excuse.

True, if ordinary people able to get that info easily with only pays a few dollars then sports betting providers shall know about it too.
In the end, any bets on the "rigged matches" will be void and nobody gets profit except the person who sells the info.

Match fixing does exist but only certain people who know about it and definitely they wont sell it for a small amount of money.
They can get big money with bet on that, why they have to sell it?
That is why most of the fixed match seller is scammers, most of them done that because they need the money to gamble either.

[Pumared]

I always think that this type of information is very precious and if the scammer knows this information he could very well bet alone and win much more. This way, when he publishes it, he ends up dividing the bookmaker's odds, causing the percentages to decrease.
