Don't fall for such easy scams

[Louce]

Just like the title says, I was back testing some regular trading sites today. And I saw a pretty interesting one which caught my attention. They had claimed to give free 0.043 BTC upon registering as a welcome gift. I was thrilled and wanted to see for my self.  I followed through their sign up process, using some random emails I just maneuver,and it registered me without any verification. So yes, it was true. I saw the 0.0043 BTC welcome bonus. And wanted to try if it were withdraw able. I already knew the only out come of this, which was obvious from the very beginning. I clicked on withdraw and added an address I don't use. And then I burst out of laughter to see that they had requested a deposit of 0.025 BTC before I would be able to withdraw the bonus. It was so obvious a scam but I wonder if there will still be someone so stupid to fall for such lazy scams. There might be people though, our of greed rush into depositing and eventually funds out it is just a scam. So I just wanted to bring this to the forum so someone might learn something from it. Don't be in a haste to make money, always remember that there isn't any free money on the internet. Noone will give you such huge amounts of BTC for free.

I have some pictures I screenshoted from the website, I would love to share but I really don't know how to post pictures on this forum. I see a lot of people adding pictures to their threads but how do I do that? Anyone care to show me so I can edit this post and add it here also for you guys to see.

This is not a new scam. They will tell you to register that they will give you  some coins. You will register and you will see the coins. But you do not have the private key and it is just a number and not any coins. It is just a fake coin that you can not withdraw but it will display that you should pay an amount of money before you will be able to withdraw the coin. If you deposit the money, you have been scammed.

You can't upload images directly to forum, you need a hosting site. My recomendation is ImgTalk that is made by one of our forum members specifically for that use

With that being said, for your images toi actually be seen, you will need to reach at least Jr Member rank.

This is a scam that has been outdated because the scammers no longer get victims like they used to have before because it is obvious that it is a scam because no beginner with no knowledge will be able to do such wrong investment because they will be having some doubts because they cant pay money when they haven't seen any amount in the investment; and no one have free money to give therefore, newbies come with the orientation of no one have free money to give, any attempt of similar act should be considers as a scam, only greedy ones fall for such scams.

You need to rank up to at least Jr member before you can attach image to your thread. You can also buy copper membership that will allow you upload image irrespective of your rank.

I believe it's safer to make the link appear in the form of a code so that newbies who are here won't click on it and fall victim to that scam. 
 
It was already obvious from the beginning that it's all a scam. If it's not a scam, where will the trading platform be getting that bitcoin they will be distributing to their newly registered users without them tuning out of reserve in no time, and then again, what will be their reason for even starting up a trading platform if they have a large amount of money to give out since the sole purpose of every business is to make a profit?

Same ol same old tricks in the books. Anyone who have been here long enough would know of it and the other variants that exist on the internet. These scams will in my estimation always be here with us in the bitcoin community and even in the fiat world. Somehow they still thrive and people still get scammed. As greed, I want to believe that the majority of people who get scammed as those who are not informed. Therefore, I can say that the level of knowledge/information you have is more likely to protect you from getting scammed than when you don't have at all. Thank you for bringing it here. Even if one newbie learns of this, it would save him from losing his bitcoins and that is a win.

Usually newbies fall in that schemes and those scammer use such kind of offer to lure their potential victims. Its sad to see that another bad stories came up here since this is old schemes use by those scammers pretending to be a generous platform.

So to avoid any possible scamming people should know that any good true be true offer is not good to entertain. Verify always if they are doubting since everything in crypto is irreversible and people need to be smart to avoid feeding up the scammers.

Don't be in a haste to make money, always remember that there isn't any free money on the internet. Noone will give you such huge amounts of BTC for free.

This has always been the strategy of scammers because they know their are some people who want to make money so fast without any stress will surely fall victim. This style of scamming is something that is not new but even till date some people still believe money can be made online without working for it. There are some well exchanges I know that do give away to new customers if they deposit some amount of asset, I haven't experience such thing or even from people around me, i don't believe in all I things like this because I know they do not exist. Give away and free money like ths is what they use in getting people that wants earn money quick.

There is nothing like free money and if you dont want to fall into scams it is just better to avoid free offers from strangers and platforms that their is no clear understanding of how people can money. So scammers disguise to be so real, don't just be so fast to grab money online, make your research to know how authentic and real with who you are dealing with online for money.

Many got duped all because they receives fake and unrealistic promises for free money, how can someone just come from nowhere make a decision to offer you that kind of amount and you will still agree it's true and with a right intention, after knowing truly that you're not going to offer him any service or job done for receiving that amount stated, some of the online adverts and posts we see were only the works of influencers and some from scammers, if we take closer look on them, then we will realize that most of them were not true because they dont reward us with nothing at the end and that is if they didn't even take from us by the little in which we have, its high time people should stop having fake expectations on what they do not work for.

who in their right mind would risk 0.025btc for 0.0043btc. only a moron or a desperate person would fall for this kind of scam, but sadly there are people who are morons and desperate to earn money as easiest as possible to the point that they turn a blind eye to the blaring red flags.

regarding the images you have, you can follow Rikafip's suggestion if you want to share the images that you have.

There’s some inconsistency on OP post but pretty sure it was 0.043BTC bonus to attract someone by depositing lower amount like newbie that still gullible to scam scheme.

Luckily, scam like this is not popular anymore since this method was already overused since I started to use crypto way back 2014-2015. I doubt someone will try their luck to deposit 0.025BTC considering how huge its fiat value.

Memecoin scam is more dangerous than this one since meme coin scam scheme is sneaky.

[SatoPrincess]

Only a greedy person would fall for this scam. I usually advise people not to even bother visiting these websites or engaging the scammers in any kind of conversation. Simply block or ignore them. When you’re unsure of a website or platform, use websites like scamadviser.com to determine if a platform or website is a scam or not. Scamadviser gives you all the details about the website. With this information you will be able to make your own judgement if you’re going to trust the platform or not.

[Peanutswar]

There is no platform giving you free money, base on your statement OP they are just using the old form of scam to those people that they can get a huge amount upon registering and there's a minimum requirement which is deposit after that you cant withdraw now your funds, those funds reflected to your account is not able to withdraw at all and for sure there's a number of trade spend requirement if you tried to make a withdrawal, this kind of scam is still currently up but into different form now like the task job most likely you've seen this in telegram that they will pay you at first and then they if you want a higher reward they will now prompt a required deposit. Most of the sketchy statements included in their statement that: They can double your money, you can make an instant 20x, etc. in just a week or a day, and there's no amount required. as possible avoid this kind of platform as possible don't visit at all because no one knows if these are kind of phishing too.

you're right, I completely forgot the 0.043btc he mentioned at the start, I was focused on the 0.0043(which now I know is a typo) that he mentioned. thanks for correcting that.

Memecoin scam is more dangerous than this one since meme coin scam scheme is sneaky.

what's sadder about it is that even after the scam happened there will be some people who will still defend it and will keep lying to themselves that the price will bounce back.

[Alone055]

It was so obvious a scam but I wonder if there will still be someone so stupid to fall for such lazy scams.

You bet! These sorts of scams are created to scam newbies who are new to these things and don't understand anything or have any knowledge about scams. Those who get into the cryptocurrency industry because they think it's a shortcut to richness would fall for such scams because they have been misguided and they think things like these are real and one can make money this way, so they might go ahead and try it. They would get more victims if they lower the deposit threshold, I'm sure.

Even though its pretty basic scam attempt, I don't think that only a moron or a desperate person would fall for something like that.

Keep in mind that there's loads of new people coming into crypto every day, who have no idea how bitcoin works and have very little online experience and for them this might sound plausible.

The scammers behind Sunxtrade have only used deceptive promotional tactics to lure people to their fraudulent platform and steal the money they deposit. They have promoted their platform on TikTok and popular video platforms by using deepfakes of prominent figures who appear to endorse and support it, touting its huge, easy, and guaranteed profits. They also offer limited-time offers, such as unique referral codes to hasten people's registration on their platform. These referral codes grant users fake money they cannot withdraw without depositing real funds. It is worth noting that there is no information about this unregulated company or information about their work team, and their domain was registered anonymously.

Also, any of the new trading platforms that promise people high investment returns, very high bonuses, and rewards in crypto once they register and activate the referral code are scam platforms, as these platforms will eventually close the user's account, preventing them from withdrawing the fake money or the funds they deposited.

There might be people though, our of greed rush into depositing and eventually funds out it is just a scam. So I just wanted to bring this to the forum so someone might learn something from it.

That is a big scam mate. I'm glad you didn't fall for it to make any deposit for the bonus they gave you. To be honest, which trading site would take such risks to give new users such an amount to claim after registration without any investment? This is an early warning that it is a scam. I'm not sure why all of these fraudsters are coming up with new methods, everyone has used their previous methods, but they've turned to creating a fake platform to deceive people. However, it is a wonderful idea that you provided such information to this forum because lots of newbies are eager to make money online when there is no free money on the internet. We have to be very careful out there because everything has changed, and there is no such thing as free money. Let us avoid scams.

Did you search it through a search engine like Google? Well, as everybody has said it's a scam tactic that many might fall for if they're new to this. Those that are greedy think that they'd receive such amounts for the welcoming gift that they'd receive upon signing up. This is very simple, always apply the quote "if it's too good to be true, it's not true". Because many still fall for that scam despite that many have been giving a warning that they should forget about that as that's certainly a scam attempt.

[KingsDen]

It was so obvious a scam but I wonder if there will still be someone so stupid to fall for such lazy scams.

In as much as there is a scam attempt, there are people willing to fall for it no matter how cheap it might appear to be. Sometimes it is out of curiosity that makes people to fall victim of such lazy scams. It is the same curiosity that made you to waste your time to register in the website and even try to withdraw what you have not deposited. There are people who still believe there is free money outside there to be won and those are the people falling for this type of scam.

Has Talkimg being renamed? LOL
