I WAS SCAMED!!! The most ugly way possible. I have received sms in the same message thread on my phone in which I receive verification codes for authentication. The message said my password was changed and if it was not me I should immediately call customer support. In the sms was also a reference code and a phone number that belonged to my local area. This was the beginning of trust that it was really Binance support center.
After a normal automated voice message that everything is being recorded a person answered and I told him about sms. He asked me by reference code and I told him.
He didn't require any data from me. Just informed that for security reasons it is better to transfer all my assets to an outside wallet and they will then secure my account.
I asked many questions about the process and how to know if they are not scammers. He had answer to everything: "Madam you received sms via Binance security thread." and "Don't worry, this is the normal procedure." - "I can't call you back because only you can call us via the number in your sms."
After one hour I transfered my assets to a TrustWallet that I opened, with my password and seed phrase that I received via sms. So how could I doubted?
I should have listened to my body. I felt pain in my chest, my ears were burning hot and I really had a bad feeling about transfering assets to the wallet. But he was calm, patient and lead me trough the whole process in the way that my mind was convinced everything is ok. He told me I will receive email when the security upgrade of my account will be finished. He said it will take 20-30 min before my account will be active again. And then I can transfer assets back from the wallet to Binance account.
After we finished I called the same number again and someone elese answered. I just asked how long does security upgrade takes and he said 12-24 hours. Then I knew my assets were losts and I was scammed.
Nothing to do since all transactions are finite. I have reported scam on Binance and our local police. 😓

Phishing Alert: Blockstream Customers Targeted by Mail Scam
Do not fall for this #scam :
Users of Jade Wallet, a popular non-custodial storage for Bitcoin (BTC) and Liquid assets, are suffering from a dangerous scam. Jade's creator Blockstream has already stated that the recipients of strange letters should not open any links in them.
No emergency #update from Blockstream
Today, Oct. 21, 2023, the owners of Jade Wallet by the leading Bitcoin (BTC) development studio Blockstream started receiving alert letters. Their authors alleged that the Jade hardware wallet was exploited and Blockstream issued an emergency firmware release.
A phishing email is being sent out impersonating Blockstream. As we investigate, please remember:
1️⃣ DO NOT click on any suspicious emails claiming to be from Blockstream. Blockstream will NEVER ask for personal information via email.
2️⃣ NEVER enter your seed phrase online or…
To download the upgraded software, users are asked to click on the red button in the letter. However, Blockstream has nothing to do with this campaign: The malefactors are spreading phishing links via an email scam. Fortunately, they did not manage to hack Blockstream's mail server: The fake alerts are sent from a third-party domain that is not associated with Blockstream.
A few hours ago, Blockstream representatives issued a warning to recall basic security rules while an investigation is underway:

Shock Sale: FTX Dumps $1.9 Billion in Solana for Pennies on the Dollar! Inside the Fire Sale That's Shaking Crypto to Its Core!
FTX's liquidation drama unfolds as it offloads a hefty slice of its Solana (SOL) holdings, securing nearly $1.9 billion. In a bold move, 25 to 30 million SOL tokens were sold at a startling 60% discount, priced at $64 each, starkly below SOL’s market value of $172. This strategic yet controversial sale not only spotlights the dire straits of FTX’s unwinding but also hands buyers a potentially lucrative deal, amidst FTX’s November 2022 collapse fallout.
Galaxy Trading to Pantera Capital jumped on this opportunity, underscoring confidence in Solana despite its tumultuous history of dramatic price fluctuations. The transaction echoes the market's appetite for risk, offering tokens at a fraction of their value, locked for four years. Eva Weng from Caladan highlights the trade-off, noting investors swap immediate liquidity for discounted access, a gamble on future gains.
The sale's backdrop is fraught with the shadow of Sam Bankman-Fried’s legal woes and Solana’s volatile journey, deeply entwined with FTX’s saga. This event marks a pivotal point in the crypto narrative, showcasing the complexities and high-stakes nature of digital asset investments.
Do you think this is fair? They should sell it on the open market to maximize the returns so they can pay all the FTX users back.

Crypto crime is too easy
If we can’t help protect people’s finances in 2024, what does that mean for the future of our financial systems?
1️⃣ The huge sums of money lost to crypto scams and frauds is probably the biggest financial looting in the history of the USA.
The FBI recorded losses over $12.5 billion in 2023, 22% more than the previous year. The agency’s Internet Crime Center received a record 880,418 complaints from Americans about potential crypto and online thefts. Considering that most of the targeted individuals do not report their cases to law enforcement, these statistics imply an even more chilling reality.
We need collective action to resolve this situation, from robust security solutions to innovative regulatory and policy frameworks. It’s the only way out — and many already affected are on borrowed time.
2️⃣ We call upon community leaders, politicians and policymakers to step up and protect vulnerable communities. The present circumstances necessitate proactive and enduring measures from them. This is a battle between good and evil, where regulators and crypto innovators should be allies, not adversaries.
Whether one likes it or not, crypto is here to stay: but it cannot persist in its current form. We must prioritize accountability and transparency to enable this groundbreaking technology to thrive and ensure that more people prosper in a secure financial landscape.
Let’s make crime illegal again.

FTC issues urgent warning about the increase in romantic scams with cryptocurrencies
The FTC asked users to report the scammers to the government and alert their loved ones about the coup.
NEWS
The United States Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has issued a consumer alert about romantic scams involving cryptocurrencies.
The FTC asked consumers to "cut contact" with online love interests that may be trying to steal their funds, using cryptocurrency investments as bait.
Scammers employ long-term tactics, taking the time to get to know their victims and build relationships before executing their schemes.
What are romantic blows?
The FTC stated that although people generally do not suspect that a love interest is applying a scam, love scammers create emotional connections with their victims, making it easier for them to believe the scammers' claims that they are cryptocurrency experts.
The government agency noted that these scammers are "good at what they do".
However, the FTC has warned investors that these scammers have already stolen millions of dollars from unprepared victims. The FTC wrote:
"They want to help you invest your money in the cryptocurrency markets or say they can teach you how to do it. You may think that they are concerned about your financial well-being, but they are not. They only care about their own financial well-being."
In addition, the FTC highlighted several warning signs that someone's love interest can be a scammer. These signs include promising large profits, ensuring that there is no risk, stating that they will teach investment secrets and persuading victims to send them money.
The FTC reminded consumers that no one can guarantee profits on any investment. The agency also said that all investments have risks, including cryptocurrency markets.
The government agency asked consumers to report possible love scammers with cryptocurrencies to the FTC and the social platform used by the scammer. In addition, the FTC also asked those who find scammers to alert their friends and family about the scam.

Beware: Deceptive Airdrop Emails Circulating from Pretend “Nansen” and Beyond
Phishing Alert: Nansen users are under threat from a recent email scam.Beware Links: These emails include suspicious links to unfamiliar websites, posing potential risks like data theft or malware.Preventive Measure: Nansen strongly advises users to delete such emails immediately and avoid clicking on any provided links.
According to recent reports, users of the popular crypto analytics platform Nansen have fallen prey to a new phishing scam.
Victims received unsolicited emails from an entity claiming to be Nansen, inviting them to participate in an apparent airdrop, an obvious ruse.
Scam Emails Flood Inboxes @officer_cia, a crypto threat researcher, highlighted the scam, noting the influx of emails starting on Thursday, November 23.
These deceptive emails promised a fictitious "Nansen Airdrop" to supposedly reward loyal users, redirecting recipients to an unknown website upon clicking the link provided.
The intent behind these phishing attempts was likely to inject malware into victims’ devices or obtain sensitive information such as passwords, wallet addresses, or private keys.
The emails were fraudulently sent from "mail@networkforgood.com," an entity unaffiliated with Nansen.
Nansen’s Response While Nansen hasn't officially responded, the analytics firm advised users via Twitter to delete these emails promptly, avoid clicking unknown links, and report such phishing attempts to anti-scam databases.
They further emphasized that Nansen doesn't possess a native token and has no plans for airdrops.
Other Crypto “Scams” Ripple through November Nansen isn't the sole target; TrueCoin and FTX bankruptcy claims experienced similar data leaks used in phishing schemes.
An altercation between Friend.tech and The Block arose after the latter falsely reported a hack of Friend.tech’s user database, prompting discussions around responsible reporting in the crypto space.
This surge in hacks and "hack reports" underscores the critical need for heightened safety measures, particularly within the crypto realm.

Some examples of Airdrop Scams in real life.
While it’s important to remain sensitive to the people and communities affected by these scams, here are a few reported instances of crypto airdrop scams:
1. The Stellar Lumens Scam (DEC 2020): Numerous Stellar holders reported a scam airdrop that baited them into revealing their private keys. The scam promised an airdrop of 100 million XLM tokens. The fraudsters set up a fake website resembling the official Stellar page and convinced users to enter their private keys to claim the airdrop, which led to the theft of their tokens.
2. Uniswap “UNI Airdrop” Scam (SEP 2020): This scam occurred when an airdrop was announced for the UNI token. The scam versions asked users to visit a website and enter their Ethereum private keys to claim the airdrop, which led to stolen funds. It’s crucial to note that real airdrops will never ask for private keys.
3. The Chainlink “5000 LINK Airdrop” Scam: In this instance, scammers distributed airdrop announcements via different social media channels. They set up a sophisticated website mimicking the official Chainlink site and asked users to connect their wallets. This, in turn, compromised the connected wallets.
4. The Bitcoin Black Airdrop Scam: Scammers took advantage of the Bitcoin Black airdrop to defraud unsuspecting users. They sent emails to users asking them to click on a link and enter their information for a free airdrop. The link led to malware, allowing the scammers to access users’ data and wallets.
Please note that the status of cases like these could change depending on the investigations conducted. The best way to protect yourself is to never share your private keys with anyone, be skeptical of supposed “free coin” promotions, and always research projects thoroughly before investing or participating.

DO NOT LISTEN TO SCAM INFLUENCERS! SOME TAKING ADVANTAGE OF YOU HERE AT BINANCE SQUARE!
In the bustling Binance Square, numerous crypto influencers promote various cryptocurrencies, claiming potential for significant returns—especially in MEME COINS! At the end of the day, this is all gambling — HIGH RISK!
However, what might not be immediately apparent to beginners is that these recommendations often serve the influencers' interests more than those of their followers. The influencers might have a vested interest in the cryptocurrency through early investments or partnerships, aiming to boost its value before securing their profits or collecting partnership fees.
Surprisingly, the comments section under their advice often brims with gratitude, with some followers even going so far as to financially tip the influencers. This scenario is perplexing, especially considering that following such advice can lead to substantial losses for the community. It raises questions about the value and impact of the advice being offered.
The key takeaway for newcomers in the cryptocurrency space is to approach influencer recommendations with caution. The reality is that following such advice blindly can result in financial losses in a majority of cases. Instead, it's advisable to seek out and support those who focus on educating their audience about the nuances of cryptocurrency investments. Knowledge and understanding are your best allies in the crypto world, not the fleeting recommendations of influencers.

The influencers might have a vested interest in the cryptocurrency through early investments or partnerships, aiming to boost its value before securing their profits or collecting partnership fees.
Surprisingly, the comments section under their advice often brims with gratitude, with some followers even going so far as to financially tip the influencers. This scenario is perplexing, especially considering that following such advice can lead to substantial losses for the community. It raises questions about the value and impact of the advice being offered.
The key takeaway for newcomers in the cryptocurrency space is to approach influencer recommendations with caution. The reality is that following such advice blindly can result in financial losses in a majority of cases. Instead, it's advisable to seek out and support those who focus on educating their audience about the nuances of cryptocurrency investments. Knowledge and understanding are your best allies in the crypto world, not the fleeting recommendations of influencers.

Cryptocurrency is a digital or virtual form of currency that uses cryptography for security and operates independently of a central authority, such as a government or financial institution. Unlike traditional currencies, cryptocurrencies typically rely on decentralized networks based on blockchain technology to facilitate transactions and verify the transfer of assets.
Cryptocurrencies offer several potential benefits, including:
Decentralization: Cryptocurrencies operate on decentralized networks, meaning they are not controlled by any single entity or government. This can offer greater transparency, security, and resilience compared to centralized systems.
Security: Cryptocurrencies use cryptographic techniques to secure transactions and control the creation of new units. This can help prevent fraud, counterfeiting, and unauthorized access.
Borderless Transactions: Cryptocurrencies enable peer-to-peer transactions across borders without the need for intermediaries, such as banks or payment processors. This can make transactions faster, cheaper, and more accessible, particularly for international remittances and cross-border trade.
Financial Inclusion: Cryptocurrencies have the potential to provide financial services to people who are underserved or excluded by traditional banking systems, such as those in developing countries or remote regions.
While cryptocurrencies offer these potential benefits, it's essential to recognize that the market is also associated with risks and challenges. Cryptocurrencies are highly volatile, meaning their prices can fluctuate dramatically in a short period. They are also susceptible to regulatory uncertainty, security breaches, technological vulnerabilities, and scams.
While cryptocurrencies themselves are not inherently scams, the lack of regulation and oversight in the crypto market has led to the proliferation of scams and fraudulent schemes. Some common cryptocurrency scams include Ponzi schemes, fake ICOs
