How to get scammed in the World of Crypto

in #scam7 years ago (edited)

After a longer time out, I'm back in the crypt world.

for research and for the latest information, I joined different Facebook and Twitter groups. Some of them are high quality, others are to be treated with extreme caution. There, the dear long day is only trying to scam and steal you. About this I would like to inform and warn you today. It makes me sad and frustrated that so many people are falling for so many scams.

I will not post any links to such Scam Groups, i am only talking about ist.

If you are in a group with offers like....

Unfollow immediately. Nobody is giving you free BTC! Nobody is double your BTC in 24Hrs. The only thing this people want is YOUR Bitcoins.

How do you know if the group is only spam and scam?

. Watch the timeline!
. Is there a Mod?
. Are there high quality Topics?
. Are there Topics with a real conversation?

If you think an offer sounds good and is real,

. You have to know what to look for when dealing with people
. Go to their profile
. Check if they are a real person.
. See if they ever talk about anything else besides their opportunity.
. Do this person have a family?
. Are there real persons interacting with each other
. Just because a profile looks real and has friends doesn't mean it is real!
. Scammers trying to fake a Profile looks real as hard as they can.
. Look at the whole! Timeline and check when the account opened!
. If you still think the offer is a "once in a lifetime chance", PM the person and Ask for a photo, maybe with an ID or try to get a Videochat.

The second case i want to talk about is

I had to learn it the hard way and lost some of my money because I have ignored the warnings
Dont join Pump and Dump Telegram groups!
The only reason this groups is to shill you theire shitcoins for a high price

The founders of such groups fill their bags full with a cheap coin.
This happens over a long period of time to hide theire high volume.
If the time appears correctly, they create a pump signal. You will only be able to find out with coin is going to pump in the very last second. If you buy now, in 99% you are to late!
You will buy a way much to high price for a shitcoin and in most cases you will never get your Money back.

The pump itself often takes only a few seconds before the Coin returns to its old value

The only way to earn money with such groups is if you are lucky to have yourself a coin that is going to be pumped and you have a sellorder on that one. This scenario is extremely rare. In most cases, you lose your money!

. Think before you click
. Do your own research!
. Dont join PaD groups
. If you have a bad feeling, DONT DO IT!
. NEVER GIVE AWAY ANY PASSWORD OR PRIVAT KEY!
. Be careful out there!
