Don't fall for such easy scams

[CryptoHeadlineNews]

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.

For me, I will say that its you @ O.P who is the scammer and not the casino, so literally you expected a casino who happens to be a business venture to have just been dashing out free 0.0043 BTC to random gamblers just like that without adding a requirement? That's really unfair, because even a genuine casino can never give out such huge sum of Bitcoin without adding requirement that needs to be meant, before a withdrawal can be allowed, talk less of a random casino you have never known before. I think you just know to change your mind set and stop expecting free things all the time, because it was your desire of you wanting to grab a free Bitcoin that lead you to this, so it will be nice if you only stick to casinos which has got already proven reputable track records, and stop wanting free money online.

This very scam isn’t a new one but don’t be surprised when you see and hear that people are still falling for such scams because everyone definitely want some extra cash and profit’s especially for works they didn’t do but possibly in form of gifts and bonuses.
This type of scam is mostly used for investment and even physically, this type of scam exist and it is good we always try to enlighten people about all of these things as much as we can do people don’t have to easily fall for scans like this because there are people that will definitely still fall for the scams.

This old trick seems still effective simply because newbies come in the market are mostly greedy and aggressive with instant profits, and until they get scammed, that's the only way they will realized that there are no free or instant profits in the market.

No matter how outdated a trick is, scammers are still making use of it because people are still falling for it, so no matter how old or rampant a scam strategy is, just know that people are still falling for it. Most newbies entering the crypto market don’t really have much knowledge about crypto, and they end up falling for some of these scams. So whenever I see that their is a free money in crypto, I do make sure that I avoid things like that because scammers are always taking advantage of it to scam people. But newbies are mostly always looking for free money in crypto, which is difficult to get, and scammers are always targeting newbies.

This is one thing with those site that rewards with BTC, then I fell for cheap scam that said I should deposit some specific amount of money to be able to withdraw a certain amount, although then my instincts was telling me it was scammed and I obeyed and never made the deposit they requested. The reason why I never fell for such scam is that I am not a greedy person fellow who never wanted to become wealthy by all means, and guess what? Those who fell victim were easily scammed because they thought it was real without knowing it was fake bonus that was deposited to them to claim why they sent really funds to them, infact I mind the kind of funds I claims from those site that seems to offer bonus to people.

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.

Honestly, if people can stop the level of their greediness, they will hardly lose money to scammers, especially in the cryptocurrency industry. The many reasons why people are losing money in the crypto industry can be observed, and we will discover that it is the level of greediness causing it. Let's imagine how people get scammed by these new meme coin projects. Just because they want to make money quickly, they invest all their money in these meme coin projects, despite being aware that almost all of these meme coins are pump and dump projects to scam people.This is the logic some scammers use to trick some people, but because someone is eager to make money, they will blinded and want ahead and invest them. When they see a great coin like Bitcoin, where the risk of losing money is small, but they hardly invest in it due to their greediness.

[Roseline492]

When a website offers a lot of free money without checking who you are it is probably scam. Website you mentioned is scam and they want you to send them cryptocurrency before you can get bonus. This is trick to get your money. Some people may still fall for it because they want money quickly or do not know better.

Of course any website that does that would be likely regarded as a scam platform, though there are some platform that offers some certain bonuses if a new users registered with them but however any platform somebody venture into and was given or offered some bonuses and latter requested them to send cryptocurrency in other to withdraw them doesn't make sense and I would advise the person to stay away from those platform because is obvious the intention or the purpose of that site is to lure people into it and scammed them, secondly people should also be aware that scammers are everywhere with diverse patterns and anybody that's not careful enough would easily fall victims because some of there patterns look so real that someone could hardly tell if is a scam or not.

[Onyeeze]

Some people always for a victim of a scam to this online investment platform and also in Trading platforms so as a beginner in cryptocurrency mostly in Bitcoin you have to be extra careful to observe the Investment platform that you are about to embark on make sure that you make all the necessary research so that you will not be victim of scam because right now scam as gone to a grassroot or reached to a grassroot to the extent that nobody can easily resistance based on it percentage for the investment and they also trading  platform that has to do with investment.

Unfortunately learnings comes late for people and we also experience that. Risk taking is normal characteristic of people and they think about its fine to play in the fire if we know how to execute a graceful exit, but sadly lots of people fall on bad situation because of miscalculation of every actions they do. That's why its really better to eliminate first the over expectation and just think about starting to learn from the mistake of other then improve their knowledge so they can avoid any potential scams. We know the profit to be given is really tempting but if we could avoid to participate those investment with posses huge risk to lose money then I guess much better for us to avoid 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.

Of course most people can still fall victim to this type of scam, more especially when it has to do with bitcoin they can do anything possible just to withdraw the bonus, sometimes it happens as a result of being greedy unlike as you said earlier. without knowing that bitcoin is not that easy to get you know had it been that bitcoin is that easy to get almost everybody would have been holding bitcoin by now, this are the things we need to consider just imagine given free 0.043 btc as a welcome bonus isn't that obvious that the trading site happens to be scam? Actually I just love the way you go about it, because most people can decide to put their real details hoping that the trading site is genuine this is why we need to be extremely careful because most of those site their intentions is just to get our real details.

This is an old trick that has existed for such a long time and shouldn’t even work on dumb folks but no, it would surprise you that some people still do fall for this kind of tricks, mainly motivated by greed, greed pushes them until you make the mistake of believing that there could be any good come out of this.

One thing people fail to check is the pilot study on most of these websites. There you would find victims and other users to have experienced such schemes come out to do reviews on the site. You would often find these sites with lots of negative reviews or no reviews at all given that, it’s relatively new as the case often is.

The good of not having to deposit often pays off. Should you invest, you would be tempted to go all the way over a fork that was just loaded on site and nothing more.

Obviously, no scam is new anymore, but people keep falling for it. People are more desperate to make quick money, and they are willing to take that risk knowing it could be a scam. Bu tin realty huge wealth doesn't come easily. There must be a price to pay or a sacrifice to make. However, falling for a scam doesn't mean one is making a sacrifice.

To be honest, enlightenment doesn't work for people. The reason why I am saying this is because there are a lot of people who have knowledge of these scams or have been taught about possible ways of scams. Yet, they still get ignorant and fall victim. I think experience should be what would teach them to take security seriously.

I wouldn't call greed the reason behind someone falling victim to such a scam, I know that you only go ahead with something like that if you are greedy, but it's mainly due to a lack of knowledge that makes people, mostly newbies, fall into such traps. The reason is that when a newbie comes to know about cryptocurrencies and this industry, they build a mindset that cryptocurrencies are a get-rich-quick scheme and one can earn a lot of money from them very easily.

Those who fall victim to such scams are the ones who aren't enlightened enough, however, I do agree that some people would still fall for it even if they have previously heard about such scams but they either don't remember or just ignore it because of the money offered.

[Kamustapo]

I won't believe anyone or any platform or any site which will give you free money just like that, even if it's only for 1$, there is always something behind it. I don't know how much dollars that 0.043BTc would give you at that time you posted this topic, but it worth around 2,600$ now. That's too good to be true, I won't bother to do the registration.

Now I wonder, the fact that this kind of scam is still around that means there are some people out there would fall to this kind of scam.

This is practically the basis of scamming 101 and funny enough many mediocre people still fall for it and that's because of their uncontrollably greed that has devoured their mind thinking that it would be so easy to access such free and easy money on the internet without putting into some hard work. The whole essence of this scam is to practically lure you into it with first the huge amount of profit that they have promised and that's basically the part that get people rocking.

For a person who has never learned this kind of deception will not change anything, he will just look for another place that they might think can earn.

The scam described is actually an old method that is only improved by using a website exchange that looks official and has to make a deposit to withdraw a certain amount of coins which is promised to be higher under the pretext that it is a bonus for early users, but it is just a trap, but some people believe it and fall into the trap. And keep in mind that it is now easier to create a better website with the help of AI and it can be done by anyone.

I am happy that you can tell this is a scam, some people would have look around to gather the amount requested before withdrawing by all means, even if they don't have the money they will go out and borrow some money and promise the lender to return in a day, I am talking from past experience as I know someone who stupidly fell for such scam.

He borrowed some money from friends and relatives and they scammed him, he wept for days and later started refunding the money, in the end everyone knew what happened to him and the money he borrowed.

The lesson to learn from this is that you can't feed from where you sow nothing, it is either going to get you robbed or even killed, nothing comes easily in the life, run and run away when money is free without any service requirements.

i wouldn't really say people who fall for this are stupid. maybe they are gullible and old people who have little to no knowledge about this. i have got scammed a few times a while back when i was still a teenager and experience is really the best teacher of all. now i am more knowledgeable and can easily detect if something seems off about something. stay safe out there everyone.

Unfortunately yes. there are still many people who fall for such scams that even a 5 years old can tell is a scam. I don't know what is wrong with these people but Greed is a bad thing. it can make anyone loose their minds.
I see everyday in telegram and discord groups filled with complains about such incidents happened with them. mostly by fishing websites, they get scammed from them and then turn to official website's servers to complain and ask for help. which is not possible.
that's why I think when someone enters into crypto space he must educate himself properly about crypto and how this space works before making any financial decision.

[Marykeller]

I guess there will be thousands of emails sent out like this, which I think many people will fall too easily to it, thinking that they have won for themselves free BTC by just registering an account.

This kind of scam has existed for years, and many people have fallen victim to it; that's why scammers keep repeating the same scamming method, knowing fully well there will be people who will fall into their trap because of greed.

I think it's very important for everyone to stick it into their memory, and let other people know that there's no free money on the internet, anyone promising any reward payment in Bitcoin when you know that you didn't perform any task that is worth the Bitcoin to be given to them, it's nothing but scam.

These scams are common both online and offline, It is still the same thing. In my neighborhood there was this man that came back from travel and he had with him forms of which he claimed that a non governmental agency is giving out financial grant to people. According to him the grant was over 900k of my local currency. The only condition to get the form is that you will pay 5k to obtain the form. So when someone told me about it, I told them it was a scam, if non governmental organization wants to give grants of that amount of money, why are they demanding for little money to obtain a form. Many people paid to get the form, but since that day till today nobody has heard from the Man neither was he anywhere to be found. We all just need to be careful, these scams are everywhere, not just online alone.
