A SCAM GOING ON THAT YOU DON'T KNOW UNTIL YOU MIGHT FALL

[Kalcoin]

There is a scam going on and I was shocked when I saw it and believe me you  can also be a victim if you are not careful and is all about sending Bitcoin to a recipient and the amount of coin will show in the wallet making you believe is a smooth transaction  and sender will ask for your wallet address and sending you screenshots while sending it and it will reach a process where they will say a network fee/Ethereum required to complete the transaction and this is where you don't know and can be fooled to help send the amount of Ethereum needed and once you send you don't receive it and the person end up blocking you and it has been going viral and is hard for you to escape it cause the person claiming to send it will be on his knees and begging and telling you he have no other coin else here to process the transaction so you have no option than to help and you end up been scammed thinking you are helping to get a coin for business purposes. We need to be careful and be alert

A very old scam that came in all these year with veru slight changes but the concept is same, send you crypto and when you try to withdraw there will be verification fee where you need to send bitcoin to complete it and while you send there will be more verification to deposit more money until the victim realized that he got scammed.

This can of attack is only possible when the victim is using a compromise wallet. It is important to verify the authencity of a wallet Before starting to hold your crypto currency in such a wallet. Some wallets may have a payload with malicious intent to steal or some sort of database were the hackers can be able to manipulate any users account at there own end. So for security purposes and to avoid this kind of scam we should download wallet that is trusted and verified.

Holy hell.  This post was incredibly hard to read.

OP, this sounds like almost any scam in the financial world, even Fiat scams are similar to it.  You get burnt in the first step and then they try to keep burning you slowly until you finally give up.  Nothing new and I am very surprised at the amount of people STILL getting scammed this way.

But then some people are still getting scammed by a Nigerian prince.  Sometimes you really have to not be stupid to avoid the scams.

What we should first ask our self if such occurs is the reason for someone requesting for our wallet address to send us some coins, secondly, if they are truly reliable and know what they are doing, they shouldn't be claiming of high transaction fee when they are the sender, its something they could have checked the mempool before making the transaction, lastly, the mempool is not even congested as we have been having some times back then, so we shouldn't be tricked at all, except if we are newbie and don't know how the network runs.

This isn't a new scheme, like the many others I've heard and experienced my self. The most popular one is that which a wallets seedphrase is sent to you with a lot of coins inside, and they claim that they want to sell the coins or transfer if that you can take some part of the coins if you are able to pay for the fees.

Unfortunately you are not going to be able to access the coins because they gave you a multi signature wallet which requires two signature for the coins to be sent. There are many other as well, but we have to be careful regardless.

This are old scam, even in Facebook i saw people asking for gas fee and ended up just asking a lot of people and accumulate a lot from asking, this types of scam are everywhere and will not go away since there are still some people who fall for this kind of trick.
They would even extend to be your friend and get closer slowing letting your guard down, and lend them small then next a bit bigger and the last will be the big one, after that they will disappear, and you will not know it until you realized they were just luring you to a bigger deal.

This kind of scam isn't new. In fact, a few posts were already created explaining the exact method which scammers use in the past. Unfortunately until this very day, lots of newbies alike are being scammed in a somehow easy-to-fall to scam like what you explained OP.

As a rule of thumb, never ever trust a stranger when it comes to transactions. If someone randomly messages you asking for assistance in their withdrawals, take it as a red flag and ignore it. If someone also randomly messages you saying that you won "xxx" amount of coins, forget it. There is nothing free in this world but our plain ignorance that would lead to us being scammed.

So OP, take this as a learning experience and move on. It's nice that you created this post for awareness but majority of the scams can be avoided if everyone would be vigilant and responsible.

Holy hell.  This post was incredibly hard to read.

Man I almost gave up! OP only used two full stops to finish his entire post. I had to bring out my glasses and read it several times.The concept of this scam seems somewhere similar to honeypot scams! I could be be wrong though. I had hard time reading OP's nonstop texts.

I believe I have heard of this scam before. Scammer would pretend to be a newbie at social media site and ask for help from others in order to withdraw the funds. He would also show screenshots of massive balances and offer to reward whoever helps him. If they try to help, they'll notice there is no gas fee. And then the scammers would ask them to take care of it from their own pocket as he (scammer) doesn't know how and later would compensate him (real person). But all of us knows that ain't happening. Real person sends the gas fee and later gets blocked. End of story...CMIIW.

Truly this is an old scam for the oldies who have been into the system for quite a long time and if they call it so agree with them because they have more knowledge and information coupled with the experience in the industry. You are just a newbie here and it might look totally new to you and some others who have no knowledge about it and are hearing it for the first time.

I will also commend your efforts because it also still can serve as a reminder to everyone but but not a new thing though. As for your OP it seems so lengthy that I barely see any punctuation marks to separate words and sentences. You just have to improve on your punctuation usage.

You asking the op if all his punctuation keys aren't working is also faulty yourself..
Read your post again, shouldnt there be a comma(,) between "today" and "if ", as well as between "Tinder girls" and "by the way"?

Like for example, your post should be like this...

Just don't accept free money from strangers. It's not that hard.

Ever heard of "stealing candy from a baby"?

Sometimes greed gets in the way of common sense not ignorance so no specific knowledge is required

Like for example, your post should be like this...

My bad,,,,, mine sometimes doesn't work, sometimes multiple clicks......
will be fixed.....

is hard for you to escape it cause the person claiming to send it will be on his knees and begging and telling you he have no other coin else here to process the transaction so you have no option than to help and you end up been scammed thinking you are helping to get a coin for business purposes. We need to be careful and be alert

So what if I told you it's very easy to avoid this kind of scams, because it's actually not everybody who claims to beg or cry online for insufficient transfer fees you should believe for your own safety. Because scammers will always be scammer looking for vulnerable victims to scam. And greed or the quest to want to get rich overnight is a major reason why I think many people fall victim to this type of scam. Hence, as a Bitcoin investor, it is wise to be always alert for situations like this.

This reminds me of this thread: /index.php?topic=5560930.0
OP claimed that a "family member" purchased some wrapped bitcoin in ETH network but cannot spend it since he doesn't have any ETH.
That person told him that he doesn't receive the ETH that OP sent which started from £2 to something higher.

So @Harmond8897! if you're reading this, if you lied about the second-person being your family member or there's no third-party involved, you may have been scammed.

Anything too good to be true online is a scam, no one will come and want to send you money for free, and if you are offering a service or in a business, you don't send money to recieve money.

All these are old scam attempts. Anything that will put you in a sense of losing money either in a service,business or the likes should be verified and only done through trusted parties/platforms officially.

It is greed that makes people get scammed. People like free and get rich quick scheme and these are the things scammers useto get their victims. They would put up an enticing offer to their target audience knowing fully well that there must be some greedy ones who would fall for their tricks and that is how they get them.

Why on will someone want to reap from where they did not sow. Looking for a 100x return so fast when you you have nothing to put in for that kind of return. Ordinarily hearing such a return, one should quickly know what is coming and run away quickly because such is nothing but a scam.

I would ask the same question to you as well. 

There is a scam going on and I was shocked when I saw it and believe me you  can also be a victim if you are not careful and is all about sending Bitcoin to a recipient and the amount of coin will show in the wallet making you believe is a smooth transaction  and sender will ask for your wallet address and sending you screenshots while sending it and it will reach a process where they will say a network fee/Ethereum required to complete the transaction and this is where you don't know and can be fooled to help send the amount of Ethereum needed and once you send you don't receive it and the person end up blocking you and it has been going viral and is hard for you to escape it cause the person claiming to send it will be on his knees and begging and telling you he have no other coin else here to process the transaction so you have no option than to help and you end up been scammed thinking you are helping to get a coin for business purposes.

It's an old-school scamming method, which I believe is still being used by some dumb scammers to scam users who are even dumber than those scammers for falling into such things. I can't help but wonder what the thought process of a person must be when they receive a message online offering them a great investment opportunity and then even spending their time guiding them walking them through the process, and they would also say that they aren't going to have any benefits from it, lol. One should ask, why did you find a message and want to help me make a lot of money if there is absolutely no benefit in it for you?

Still, some people fall for it. Ironic!
