Hi all hivers!
I hope the weekend has started well for all of you, since the weekend is that part of the week when everyone is home, I am taking the opportunity to publish an "instructive" post regarding scam events.
If you recall, in order to write the Bitcoin Mine Trix Token Review, I purchased $10 worth of tokens and staked them.
To elaborate further, I also completed the various tasks in order to gain access to the air drop.
One of those tasks, consisted of subscribing to the telegram channel:
Note that the bot (Rose) gives some very important information about the management of the wallet in connection with the dApp and especially about security:
A few days later, the most varied messages started coming to me from accounts
As you can see the account has been deleted, meaning that the profile was bogus and you could potentially fall victim to scams.
This receiving of messages went on for almost a month, until, this morning I got fed up and posted some screens on the official group.
Well, immediately more messages of interest from the administrators (who do not send private messages).
Obviously being in the know (I don't have a crystal ball but you can tell right away when things aren't clear) I spent a little time making fun of these scammers.
I will turn over some screens so you get an idea, but then we also see some instructive things that I hope will help anyone who is taking their first steps in this crypto world.
Seen by me who has been around it for several years it is becoming a Wild West between scammers, ponzi, rug-pull and other similar falsehoods.
Let's start with the first one:
The channel name is correct "BitcoinMineTrix Official" is correct, and they state that it is possible to make the claim of tokens produced by staking...
The name of the site also matches, but...by clicking on it, the site is not the official Bicoinminetrix site:
If we read the pop-up carefully, the address is not the official one.
There goes the first scam!
Here the resourcefulness of the scammer evolved quite a bit: they called me 2 times within about 4 hours....
But the argument is clear: Herry is an admin of the group, and as such cannot send D.M.: now even phone?!?!?
Well, scanned the second scam as well!
Let us now look at this screen:
Besides the fact that Admins can't send DMs, don't you notice something strange?
Exactly!!! Yes there are 3 profiles with the same name, how is that possible? In fact they are 3 fake profiles with a different name but they present themselves as if it is the same account.
So when similar situations happen to you, block and report them.
Let's see what needs to be observed in order to have some security in moving around crypto:
Well I won't take up any more of your precious time to make comments, and I am sure you have learned something new and if not, anyway you have done a little review!
