A scammer being outshined by another scammers

[Josefjix]

Well. I brought this thread up to the board due to our Nigeria slang that "Guy man no dey guy guy man". So obviously there "Guy man don guy guy man"

Did we also learnt something about this story? I think it's karma that struck this my guy. Who knows how many vulnerables he has dubious while trying to help them with their crypto wallets.
This should also serve as lesson not to trust anyone with your wallet seed phrase because even your relatives can betray you.

This is an old scam it's been around for sometimes now, didn't know people are still falling for it even with all the awareness going on. They're only smart with the amount now to make it believable, it was literally over thousands of dollars in the past and people stopped falling for it and stopped believing anyone would just send you a log to a  Wallet that has over a thousand of dollar.

Only greedy ones fall for a cheap scale as this one.

he has not seen the real fraud na. when it hits him real hard and he gets scammed something big, he will understand the kind of things the people he has been scamming do go through while he always does away with peoples crypto.

For me it's not about the scammer not haven't met some real fraudsters with his scheme, it's rather a different perspective for me which boils towards the guy that lost his $7 dollar while going for a $420 that doesn't belong to him.

If we are to call a spade a spade, then we will agree that the guy was just been greedy by trying to play a smart one on money that doesn't belong to him just because he was given access to a seed phrase to the wallet. Come to think of it, who will be that gullible and stupid to reveal his seed phrase to a wallet hodling such amount of $? I think the guy got what he deserve.

I've read multiple posts concerning scamming in the forum and I'm being uncomfortable seeing members writing about a particular scammed scheme as this one being an old story. Infact it's unacceptable seeing old users blaming people who're fallen into such trick or scam because it's an old scamming strategy.
Ain't we supposed to believe that something must has been existing to the awareness of others before it gets to us? Why wanting blame the vulnerables who're keeping effortlessly trying safeguard their funds but by unfortunate gets to the hands of scammers.
The reality fact is that most especially newbies are tantamount to befall a victim to scam unless they're thought about possible means to identify scams or esle stay off from untrusted people and source of information.

Your friend is unaware of how scammers operate in the cryptospace with different strategies and he is not safety cautious. I have learnt that anybody that put his seed phrase online claiming not to know what he's doing is a scammer. Your friend went as far as sending $7 to achieve $420. If you don't want to reap from where you didn't sow, you will not fall victim. Be careful not to import any random seed phrase to your wallet or connect your wallet to random sites, to avoid falling victim to these scammers. Also avoid offers or give away that are enticing and not real to be true.

How would anyone be so lose with their wallet and you on the other hand wanted what wasn't your so bad you are prepared to send funds to get it.
I think you should advice your friend to drop his greed or else this would just me one out of many funds he would be losing regardless of the amount he lost it still a silly way to get scammed.

Greed, the number one reason behind getting scammed. For this industry, we no suppose believe anything wey we see. We have to be skeptical about everything until proven other wise. Him see wallet with free money and him wan run go steal am. Abi him think say the person wey keep that money there no know wetin him they do.

I always say the scammers aren't getting wiser but we keep getting ignorant people entering the industry frequently therefore the scammers keep getting steady flow of victims. OP good you shared this here as it renewed our minds on the potential scams available. There are many ways the scammers carry out this scam as something they can ask you to deposit a fee to withdraw from an exchange or website that's fake. We suppose know all this things to no dey fall mugu na.

Scammer scammed scammer  this kinda funny ,  because your friend was up to something bad but at the end e endup been the victim, I know say life tough and stuff, but make we try find the money legitly hard work still pays till now there's no shortcut to wealth , it takes time to build something good, because been victim of such is really painful imagine losing money you plan to use for something good , like money wey you suffer for person go just come take am .

You hear that word that say Na another person dey teach another person lesson, As everybody Don wise now na so scammers go dey jam theirself, But na funny thing be this oh, scammers wan scam scammers that's good at least them go learn in a hard way , E good make people wey get better scope for head dey teach all this scammers lesson make them know say waiting them dey do no good.

Very soon na so them go dey cast one by one because no matter how long person wey dey do bad thing reach one day the person go cast and he go expose, the surprise thing be say scammer no like make person scam them, and about this thread now na only God know how the thing go dey pain am now.

[Marykeller]

Na people wey wetin dem get no do them na them dey fall easily to scam. Ones peso eyes d for other peoples things, on how to make it big in crypto, there is possibility of them being scam by a simple trick by showing them money.

Em don tey wey your friend d eye big for crypto. The reveal seed phrase caught him off guard to loosen up em self, thinking that em don make am big, with someone else mistake. Neither did he know that it was his mistake for thinking that em go chop peso clean mouth without being scammed altogether. To him, the $7 na nothing to compare with $420 wey em d see.

Anyway sha, scammers d really d upgrade themselves with wetin dem go do to make them collect that small amount wey we think sae na nothing. You can imagine when the so called scammer collect like $7 from 100 people, na $700 be that, em collect without stress.

You see wetin be send soso amount for dollar to claim soso thing, peso need to avoid am totally because they're all scam.

Okay the image below details chats with a friend of mine who felt victim to a scam While he intended to outshine a scammers on disguise of not being knowledgeable enough with his wallet containing $420.
So the owner of the wallet got his wallet seed phrase exposed to a platform as he seeks for guide about his wallet. So that of my friend took a fast finger by login in to the wallet using the seed phrase to gain access to the wallet where he was mind-blowing and hope to steal the $420 in the wallet but was requested send atleast $7 to move the fund. Maybe that was for a gas fee which I don't know.
So he sent $7 to the wallet and just in seconds the $7 was moved to another wallet.
Then my guy find out it's a multisig wallet that you'll pass through processes before possibly withdrawal the so attractive $420.
This my guy checked on the wallets transaction history and found the owner of the wallet is a scammer and has been using that method to scam people as he learnt hundreds of transaction as he was victimized was processed in there.

                  The chat is revealed below.

Did we also learnt something about this story? I think it's karma that struck this my guy. Who knows how many vulnerables he has dubious while trying to help them with their crypto wallets.

Omo this is very funny,

how on earth would you intend to gain where you didn't sew,now your senior colleague don cast your work.

this is literally greedyness and selfishness.that serves him right.

not justifying  the scamming act though, let's just be careful on how desperate we are in seeking for wealth.

Karma is real.

You did well to bring up this post to the local board. Actually this is not a new pattern that crypto scammers are using to scam their fellow crypto enthusiasts. The scammers already know that there are a lot of greedy fellows around the crypto space. However, this is a lesson to those that are too greedy and can not see something that looks some how free and keep their eyes off. Well, even if anyone imported the wallet with the seed phrase, and deposit some crypto in to the wallet for transaction, the actual owner of the wallet will immediately received the notifications and quickly withdraw the Tron that you deposited. Well one can only see the money on the wallet but can not withdraw it because he does not have full access. Am just beginning to imagine how many people have fallen for this scam.

[GiftedMAN]

Nothing person no go see for this Internet ooo see as person use him hand come do em self bad because of evil intentions wey dey em mind, the question be say why people no dey like mine their business forget wetin no be there own? be like up till date some people never understand say the easiest way scammers dey use get their victims na to show them awoof money especially if e dey in Usdt or bitcoin people go rush to claim the money not knowing say na trap.

Scammers go always dey say active and then go continue to dey get customers unless people try dey commot body for money wey no be their own and wey dwm no work for.

Den dey always send the message like say na mistake, they also address it in a way that you will think that the message came to your inbox by mistake. Na why most people dey always fall for the spam thinking someone sent them a sensitive message meat for another person. But na still greedy ones go wan make anyone try to withdraw money from wallet wey no be own.

Den dey their own the message come into their inbox now, no be link wey you go just see anywhere. But make person nodey click link den see for PM..

Every you've said is all legit but if we must be careful on how we trust any platform users let's be sincere bitcointalk here isn't exemptional. Vividly I can remember such occasion of a forum member here has also made his wallets seed phrase public which at the end of it the wallet complainant who disguised of being a novice of the crypto was a shit ass scammer whose goal was to lure people at their crave of taking chances of his unsecured wallet since he has showcased the seed phrase.
I'm just in the pitch of us to be careful with our wallets.
Indeed my friend was not just greedy but a thief as that because he intended to steal a seemed helpless ones fund but unfortunate for him being a victim to the disguised vulnerable.
What a nightmare story. 😁

Such post on this platform would quickly be deleted as members would instantly report that post and the account behind such post. This platform does not tolerate such and would never allow her members fall for such scam  here on this platform. Anybody thinking of doing such here is wasting his or her time as they would not see anything from this platform.  I believe people here are very smart enough to detect such to not think of engaging with such account holder.

The guy was a greedy thief though but he ended up scamming himself as a result of him being wicked and wanting to scam somebody. This should serve as lesson to those who think they are always smart to undo others through corny ways.

You could be right to say but I don't think if everyone here is that knowledgeable and smart enough as said to overcome scamming schemes. Remember that there are newbies coming into the forum here on daily basis which they can fall into scam in one way and the other which could as much be outside this forum to say everyone here is smart enough to beat scammers and their tricks.
As in doubt of me saying relating incident has happened here, I'm not going to be in doubt with you but let's imagine what such post of related scamming scheme would be deleted when one like a newbie is portraying need solution to hia wallet. I don't know how such post could be taken down as an insight of scamming schemes.
Perhaps it could be act of  a beginners illiteracy to what the outcome may become if he gets his seed phrase exposed to the public. Invariably moderator (s) could be inactive at the moment to take action of post if need be and believe me, some greedy fast finger forum users who may want to take advantage of such wallet owner must have ride on keying into the trap of the scammer before Mods action could be taken.
I basically believe the forum is fighting against illegalities but doesn't mean it's 100% clean
We just need be careful and that's why it's important to consult here on the forum before taking any move to where we're lost on our crypto journey.

I'm surprised that majority of replies here sound as if this method of scamming is new to them or probably hearing about it for the first time. This method of scamming has been around for long and I think there is a thread about either in this our local board or in the general board, I can't really remember again. Only greedy people fall for scam like this because they will attempt to steal the funds in the wallet just like your guy. Both on twitter and telegram, I have several inbox containing seed phrases where they claim they have funds but don't know how to move out the funds and would like me to help them. Fortunately, I'm familiar with the game, I just lock up and ignore the inbox or give them direct block.

The thing is that they install a bot operating the wallet transaction. There's no way you can beat the bot no matter how fast or smart you think you are. Funds are automatically transferred out to a designated wallet the moment you send anything inside that wallet. Although, some people might not intend to steal the funds but trying to help but they also end up falling victim. What I learnt from this is to never attempt to reap where you did not sow. Is as simple as that. Even if you intend to help any stranger, tell them to get gas fee themselve and not you providing them with gas fee. Moreover, isn't it suspicious for someone to have that much funds in a wallet and claim not knowing how to move it out? How did they obtain it in the first place? As long as you are connected to this Internet, you keep learning everyday. Your guy just learn extra lesson not to be greedy in this space.

[Tungbulu]

Lol as I see the chat I no fit just laugh finish. The thing just remind me of one time too wey i almost fall victim of this same type of scam, in my own case, na person wey I know na E bring the matter come my side say na him wallet be that say E Dey fyn who go give am BNB worth $10 before E go fit move out the wallet, E send the wallet phrase gimme and I check am confirm am say true true money Dey there, about $400, asap na so I go research the thing come see similar occasions wey them don use that same method collect money, na so I come ask the guy again make E tell me the truth, then E come tell me say true true no be him wallet, say na Oyibo man wey E Dey follow chat wey get am, say E wan collect the money inside, na so i tell make E freestyle the matter, say na scam be that. 

But the guy no gree, E go later borrow money go put the BNB, na so then wipe the money asap, E come back come tell me say ma true wey I been talk oo

[Zigabel]

This is why we aught to be careful most times as we cannot be roo lucky Everytime, some things are just too good to be true and when we see one we should be able to suspect some sort of fowl play around it and carefully look at it before entry so we don't fall victim of certain things.

Actually situations as this are usually just clear as been too good to be true,who would just expose their seed phrase knowing they have got some good funds in it if not that they want to actually do something with that move just as seen by these guys in this story.

[IceLincoln]

This is as a result of greed and eagerness to cheat the next man. Your friend was so eager to achieve what is not his and failed to check all the red flags and properly check the wallet when he opened it. If he ever had a atom of wanting to help in any way he would have checked what’s been going on in the account maybe he could have saved himself $7.

Lesson: No matter how smart and sharp you think you are, there’s always someone Smarter. Jus like how they say Pride goes before a fall, Greed covers/block all valid senses.

Just be Careful and Honest in your dealings
