Don't fall for such easy scams

[Alone055]

People can fall for it, a lot of people actually. It's hard to believe, but there are a lot of people who believe that they can make quick money from crypto and that it is indeed a get rich quick scheme. Now imagine coming into this industry to find this offer from this fake trading website, they'll grab it with two hands and fall victim to it. There are quite a lot of stupid scams out there, but if there were no victims, the scammers wouldn't bother anymore, but they still do; so they indeed do get victims.

You are right. The cryptocurrency industry is getting extremely saturated when it comes to the number of people who are in it and how many are joining with each passing day, and as you mentioned, most of these people think that cryptocurrencies are a shortcut to richness. They think they can earn life-changing amounts of money from this industry, and this thought process becomes their enemy in cases where scammers offer victims very high returns, and the victims, being new to the whole thing, think that they are getting their lives changed from this.

Another big problem is that such people don't listen to advice, no matter how many times they read online, from this forum, social media, or in any other place, they will still make the same mistakes and lose their money, some wouldn't even understand if you explain it to them face-to-face.

So, you are right, no matter how advanced the world might become, there will always be some people who would become victims of scams.

Many people are joining cryptocurrency market hoping to get rich quick. Mostly believe scams that promise unusually high returns and end up with losing money. Sadly these people mostly ignore good advice and warnings even when shown clear proof and explained in person. It is worrying fact that no matter how much technology and education improve some people will always fall for scams. We need to keep warning people and encouraging them to think critically hoping that some will learn from others mistakes and invest more wisely. And if anyone get scammed by any source so they should share their stories so this will help others.

Same old tricks but unfortunately, there will be some newbie who will fall into this kind of scam.

It's an old way, but scammers are still using it. Why? Because it's effective. There will always, and always be newcomers that will feel happy that they see a free 0.043 BTC on their screen as they register. Well, the good thing though is that there might be some out there who doesn't even have 0.025 BTC holding hence, they'll just forget about this one because at first place, they did nothing aside from registering. I believe that only a few will fall to this.

I always believe that investors are becoming more intelligent every single day, and although many are still falling to these types of scams, I think that those who got scammed once learned from their mistakes hence, they will not fall for it anymore.

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.

Here the link to the website.

One of the reason why some people fell victim of scamming is greed, inexperience and inadequate information because they want to make it to the top using shortcut without due deligente but if truly one is equiped with adequate information and experience it will be very had to fall victim of scam. I'm so impressed that you were smart enough to be able to put a precautionary measure on your experience if not you would have fell to the scam.

This is one of the cheapest scam I have come across in recent times but just the way you said some people might still fall for it due to greediness. I have seen something similar to this before but my own was a different approach that allows you to deposit freely but puts a requirements for your withdrawal that can never be met. It was also a trading platform with a favorable price for arbitrage.

The scam here is very obvious because it is like a ponzi where you invest and make double profits of your investment. The difference between the bonus and what they ask you to deposit is double and you don’t need to perform any task. You don’t need a seer to tell you it’s a scam. Falling for this is not actually ignorance, it is foolishness.

Either they just got that wrong information somewhere since there are lots of people online flaunting their wealth then say that they easily got that money from crypto. But when those newbies got curious about trying out what those people telling to them they found out the harsh truth about how hard to earn money on crypto and there's a lot of scams happened.

Sometimes people decide to participate on those scams since they think that if they became an early adapter or investor of certain project they can earn huge from it. Also there are people who try to market those scams sites for wanting to earn from referrals that's why this scamming attempts would never end since there are people who's willing to take a risk since they think they are risk taker and confused about the real meaning about "high risk, high rewards sayings" and they think if they risk big on those scams they can earn huge money to.

Yes it's the cheapest scam by you but it's funny that some people will still fall for such scam. (It's terrifies) However greed is what will make someone to fall for the scam because always they want to make profits, this forum is enough to get any solution we want about crypto currency. Sometimes I browse the internet and most of the times I Bitcointalk as one of the site that answers the questions I want. For someone to message you on their own telling you that they can help you make profits but you must send a cent first shows that it's a scam, and someone will still fall for it because there are crypto newbies everywhere on social media.
