Hello Hive Community,
I am writing this to alert everyone about a fraudulent scheme involving fake HIVE bonus campaigns currently circulating in Hive-related Telegram groups. These scammers are impersonating trusted exchanges like MEXC and Bybit and are abusing the Hive blockchain to steal tokens from unsuspecting users.
🔍 How the Scam Works The scam follows this pattern:
Victims are told to buy HIVE tokens and send them to a wallet named mxchivebonus, claiming they will receive a bonus in return.
In my case, I sent 2611.5 HIVE to mxchivebonus (transaction ID: dc85468539be533f784b69ae2af5793890faff85), and surprisingly, I received 3110.5 HIVE back (transaction ID: 1a16b1d6e63a04b07d5365b290fb332c40671478). This created false trust.
Afterward, I was asked to repeat the same process. I sent the same amount again to mxchivebonus (transaction ID: bea94efb6bb964432a5af56f197c297226590e5), but this time, I received nothing back.
Then they told me I needed to send a “reversal transaction” to a new address called mxchivereverse. I complied and sent another transaction (ID: 2ad3e01439bff2075ca2ba92956ad5027fb1c1e8).
That transaction was later traced moving to another wallet called cashbackhive. Despite waiting over 48 hours, I received no return or communication.
These are deliberate scam wallets, and they are continuing to exploit others by reusing the same technique.
❗ What You Need to Know These wallet names (mxchivebonus, mxchivereverse, cashbackhive) are not officially linked to MEXC, Bybit, or the Hive ecosystem.
Scammers are using fake Telegram accounts and impersonating support staff.
They even perform a small refund the first time to build trust — this is part of the scam.
🛡️ What You Should Do Do not engage with any Telegram group or message claiming bonus offers through token transfers.
