There is a recent scam going around utilizing the Blockchain.info website. I am going to provide details how the scam works. Usally the scammer (parasite) prays on newbie investors in Facebook groups and once they make a comment he attacks with a private message.
Here is the example of one of these scammers: (Please note the use fake facebook profiles)
And here is the scammers proposition:
So how does this scam work?
It's Simple the scammer makes an account for you with Blockchain.info gives you the password you can lock your account since you have access to your own email, and change the password but he already links a "watched" only wallet into your account with the balance of 3 BTC.![1.JPG]
As you can see here the scammer has already removed the Bitcoins from the watched wallet, but if the Bitcoins were there it would say you have that Balance in your wallet. The only problem is that you don't have the private key and it's only a watched wallet therefor you can not remove any money from it.
Most people think they hit the jackpot and have 3 Bitcoins now, what the scammer does next he says I will unlock your mining contract just send 15% into that wallet. (Of course I did not send any bitcoins but you get the scam)
These are the parasites on earth ladies and gents, always watch out!
