Post by: opportuniti on July 22, 2019, 09:16:44 PM: Are there people in the 21st century who are being led to this stupid scam? It’s not enough that you yourself pay for participation in an unlikely lottery for big money (which is not profitable because of roi), you do it also in the company where the winnings are not paid.

Post by: Wour196 on August 22, 2019, 12:29:02 PM: Unfortunately, cryptocurrency really attracts a large number of scammers. In addition, many people do not try to take care of their safety and this only helps to increase the number of such cases. Therefore, I always try to be careful and check resources.

Post by: Hagibis on November 17, 2019, 09:23:01 PM: As long as you only provide your Twitter username on giveaways like this I think it is safe. If you're asked to deposit crypto to a certain account or even click a link that could lead to a phishing site, stay away from that promo.

Post by: Hagibis on January 04, 2020, 05:48:44 PM: This still exists even its 2020, lol! But it wasn't Twitter, on my part was through Telegram. Messaging me in a friendly tone and offered me like sending BTC to my address but he said I need to pay the fees first or something. I blocked him instantly. Awareness is the key. We shouldn't fall as a victim.

Post by: CryptonZzz on April 12, 2022, 04:24:45 PM: I advise you to look for tokens on a special service that tracks fraudulent projects itself.I use ListingSpy.net , it helps a lot.

New coins can bring a good profit, of course, the risks are high, but if you carefully analyze the project, use the aforementioned service, then the risks, although not reduced to zero, will be significantly minimized.
