Scammer on telegram who claims to search blockchain for forgotten wallets

[Josefjix]

...

Wait, I don't understand the solution to which problem the scammer is trying to solve, what does it mean by searching on blockchain for forgotten wallet. If I understanding clearly, is he talking about finding out seed phrase to a lost wallet? From his pinned message on telegram, he doesn't even understand the solution to the problem he is even meaning.

It's impossible searching on the blockchain to track lost seed phrase or private key, that's insane.

The scammer simply makes false claim by using some buzzword/complex word to make his claim sounds convincing. They hope the victim focus on false potential income, while not thinking detail of their claim.

These buzzwords has really got many people into investing in crypto projects too, a project that has zero vision will use complex crypto and blockchain words to deceive investors into putting in money during presales, some may even call themselves the fastest blockchain project with speedy transactions and confirmation but fail at the end of the day.

But I see that this "craftsman" already has more than 4,000 subscribers. I wonder why there are no reviews and complaints about this scammer on the Internet, and his channel has been around for more than two years.

They are probably changing the channel information to adapt to new scam schemes, if that is even allowed by Telegram.  And the over 4,000 subscribers are purchased, I assume, particularly to offer a false image of being trust worthy.

Its possible that they change the details of their channel, so they can start over again with those usual scam they made to people. Its unfortunate that Telegram is so slow taking actions with those scams.

Maybe there are new people got confused about those numbers and think that those counts are relevant that's why there are people fall from their schemes. If they just check those people for sure that they can point out that those are fakes and they are doing lots of shady things to make their scam activities look attractive.

Polishing their appearance is provably part of their strategy and hopefully people will do a research first before going on these scams. Its just really unfortunate that there are no people bother to report those scams, that's why these scammers are free to roam then repeat crimes what they have done to other people.

People must about about scammers on Telegram, scam methods they used and also the Telegram Scam Label.

I remember that there is a scam label for Telegram scammer account but your post is about a Telegram channel, so I have to search for this information.
According to this guide, Telegram has a Scam Label for Scam channels too but honestly I have never seen it. I saw Telegram scam label on telegram accounts especially accounts DM first for business deals, and months later, in my Telegram history, their accounts were either deleted or got a Scam label.

I did not use Telegram since the last market cycle so honestly I have never known about Telegram scam label for Telegram channel by myself.

What is the Telegram Scam Label?

These buzzwords has really got many people into investing in crypto projects too, a project that has zero vision will use complex crypto and blockchain words to deceive investors into putting in money during presales, some may even call themselves the fastest blockchain project with speedy transactions and confirmation but fail at the end of the day.

But I think using buzzwords to convince people into believing that they can retrieve and claim wallets that were never theirs is crazy.
Like, I would be pissed if I came across anyone who fell for something that cheap. It's somehow funny even though it's not.
Like, how do you claim something you don't own/never worked for?. The problem with most people is that the sceptical part of them always fails to activate at the moments that matter most. The simple question they could easily ask is... "If it's actually possible to claim something like that, why hasn't the supposed person who's offering the service claimed every wallet that has funds in it?". Dude is literally trying to feed on other people's ignorance and their inability to think when it matters most.

At least this scammer either don't know about today's AI capability, don't want to spend any money for the AI subscription or don't know there are ways to use such AI without spending any money.

They usually don't want to use AI because it's paid hahaha, it's proven by the application display design that is too old.
Even just looking at it, I immediately knew that it was a trap application with a lot of malware and a backdoor that would infect our devices.

To be honest, there are a lot of similar channels on the web, but as long as there are weirdos who believe in hacking bitcoin and hunting for other people's wallets, let there be those who will teach them vigilance and be able to dispel their illusions. Here is another such channel.  https://t.me/crypto_hunter_btc 🧐 or this one  https://t.me/thesoftwaretool

There are many of them, as well as those who will believe.

They continued to evolve and create their own alliances so that their trap operations were well coordinated.
Even appearing on all social media, I get a lot of d x messages and on Instagram But not this kind of program,
but more to phishing and offering rewards for opening and creating an account on the website they provide.

I was randomly moving across Telegram when I stumbled on this scammer who asks for subscription from unsuspecting users to give them access to searching the blockchain for forgotten wallets. This is a scam channel because you cannot obtain seed phrases from the blockchain, they are generated by your cryptocurrency wallet locally, the blockchain only stores your public addresses and your transaction history, so there is no way any wallet can be obtained by scanning the blockchain, seed phrases are set of  12 to 24 words that can be used to reconfigure a wallet and give you access to addresses of coins stored on the blockchain.

Searching for a forgotten wallet on the blockchain ? That alone is incredibly strange, let alone the scammer trying to sell it to potential victims. Just by using basic logic, how could someone sell such valuable (in reality; not) information to others ? So, when you already understand that using such basic logic, you already know it is a scam.

Well, I think this scam will be easy for someone without a basic understanding of crypto, or someone who is easily fooled by things that seem "Too Good to be True". So, I hope you don't fall for any scams, try to be skeptical of any information you find, and verify its veracity. Even wiser, you should simply ignore any information that seems strange, or offers something that doesn't make sense.

Recovery scammers are everywhere now because cryptocurrency has gained global attention more than in previous years. Folks with wallet errors think a random person online can recover their wallet for them. That is why they keep exposing their other wallet to scammers.

He updates his channel regularly which means he is still actively using that channel to lure people in.

Any crypto channel where subscribers are not allowed to post in, know it's a channel for scam. Let me guess, he posts consistent screenshots in the channel? Am I right?

I know that newbies visit this sites on a daily and I decided to drop this here. DO NOT FALL FOR THIS SCAM, there is nothing like searching for lost or forgotten wallets on the blockchain.

I feel a little sad that when there is no such thing as honesty among people, people can cheat other people like this. And those who are new to cryptocurrency are the ones who are most often the victims of this kind of fraud. That is why everyone should have basic technical and security knowledge of Bitcoin. There is no possibility of recovering the wallet or seeing the seed phrase again through blockchain. It is practically impossible to find the seed phrase by looking at the public address. Another thing is that if a software could really find the wallet with the funds, then that person would not have to sell that software, he could have made a lot of profit from the wallet himself. When someone asks to send money for providing such software or asks to send crypto as a fee, then it should be understood that it is all a scam.

Lots of newbies may fall into this trap, because they may not understand what them and the scammer is even doing.

Basically selling a service of course it has a cost. Then this service wannabe will generate a codes and giving the private key or seed phrase (which is already pre-made) then once the user sees it has a balance throughout until they get tired to seek for better services, they will upgrade of course another cost again need to pay so until the user reaches the higher price but get nothing. Those services are manipulated with them already just to earn easy money for those newbies who wanted to earn in crypto in an easy way.

Users should always keep in mind that blockchain never stores any seed phrases, private keys, or any lost wallet information. Blockchain only acts as a public ledger where all transaction-related information including transaction history, wallet addresses, verifications, etc. are permanently recorded on the blockchain.

Channels that claim that they can scan the blockchain and recover the private key or seed phrase of a forgotten wallet are basically deceiving users. Those scammers are just plotting to take money from users very easily.

Users must remember that there is no opportunity to use any technology in any blockchain where the personal information of a user will be stored. The seed phrase and private key must be kept completely to themselves. It is important to be wary of those who want to help provide such services. Such scammers try to sell their software by providing false information, which can cause great harm to users.

He updates his channel regularly which means he is still actively using that channel to lure people in.

When a channel provides regular updates, it tries to convey that the channel is active and in many cases it tries to convey that it is legit. But in reality, their main purpose is to attract new users. If a user has a lost wallet, they can easily fall into the trap of scammers trying to recover that wallet.

Telegram might give the channel a scam badge today, the scammers will delete/abandon the channel and start another one with a similar but different name, it's always easy to create another channel, what I might see as more effective is Telegram preventing the profile from creating another channel whenever any of their former turns out to be a scam attempt. They should also delete scam channels and not just give it a scam badge.

Polishing their appearance is provably part of their strategy and hopefully people will do a research first before going on these scams. Its just really unfortunate that there are no people bother to report those scams, that's why these scammers are free to roam then repeat crimes what they have done to other people.

A very few people actually do researches, for most people, greed sets in immediately they see such flashy offers, thereby nursing perceived advantage, and they turn victim mentally, long before they even invest.
