As a currency speculator, we can lose money and we can be harvested by the dealers, but we cannot be cheated! You can cut me, but lie to me! I can't take this breath!
Now let’s reveal the latest scam in the currency circle! (I was busy writing this article before, but scammers have been rampant recently! So I’m posting it to everyone again!)
1: TP wallet fake address scam!
Scammers will screen out wallet addresses with large amounts and frequent transactions based on blockchain big data, and then generate fake addresses with the same last 4-6 last digits and different others.
As long as you transfer coins to the real address, the fake address will transfer 0.01 or 0.001 to you. Many novices will copy the address in the wallet transfer address for convenience, thinking that the last transaction was transferred to this address, and the following 4- The six digits are all the same, so there is no problem, and everyone is used to remembering the last four digits.
Therefore, it is easy to copy to a fake wallet address and transfer the wrong coins and lose money. When transferring money from your wallet, you must copy the saved address again. Do not operate it in the wallet, or directly scan the code to transfer. Remember to check the address. If you transfer the wrong address, it will be gone!
2: Fake TP wallet scam
Fake wallets are made by fraudsters who decompile apk or ipa, add the private key and mnemonic data upload function created or imported to the wallet, repackage and distribute it to fake websites for downloading. Once the user downloads and uses a fake wallet to import private keys, mnemonic phrases and other content, these data will be automatically synchronized to the fraudster's server, thereby stealing the user's assets or monitoring the user's assets, ultimately leading to the loss of the user's assets.
If you don’t know how to use a wallet, you must find someone you trust to download the genuine TP. Most of the ones online are fake!
3: Wallet fake airdrop scam
Scammers use the publicity stunt of free airdrops to make posters or links to promote in the community. After the user scans the code to identify it, open the URL and authorize (log in), execute Airgrab to authorize and receive the airdrop. After authorization, the scammer obtains the authorized tokens. permission to transfer user assets.
Recently, a new type of airdrop scam has emerged. Users have received airdrop tokens by checking transaction records. If they click to view, they will find a link in the Memo and a prompt that they can use the airdrop tokens to exchange for other coins. When a user opens a link to exchange airdrop tokens for other tokens, authorization is required at this time, and this authorization is a malicious act. Once authorized, all wallet assets will be removed.
Therefore, remember that there is no free lunch in the world. Do not open unknown links to receive airdrops, or scan QR codes to authorize. Do not send private keys/mnemonic phrases to anyone, and beware of airdrop scams.
If there are no images and there are warnings about risks, please don’t click or authorize them.
4: Wallet fake customer service fraud:
In the daily use of the wallet, there will always be some problems that need to be solved. When most people encounter problems, they will first think of contacting the wallet customer service to solve them. At this time, someone will take advantage of the situation and package it with the same name and name as the customer service. LOGO actively adds users to various communities and asks for the user's private key or mnemonic phrase to commit fraud when solving problems.
If you have any questions, please click on the online customer service on the official website or wallet App for consultation.
1. Pretend to be TokenPocket customer service to charge a fee to solve the problem; 2. Pretend to be TokenPocket WeChat customer service staff: 3. Pretend to be the TokenPocket Telegram group administrator to deceive: Generally, you use email or app to contact. Do not trust those who actively add you privately. customer service!
5: Coin circle phone scam
After the scammer obtains your personal information through purchase, he will contact you using an overseas phone number and tell you that there is a problem with your account and you need to "transfer" currency assets (actually asking you to transfer the money to him). This scam is actually not very clever. But because scammers have almost all of your transaction information, it’s easy for you to relax your vigilance and get scammed.
As soon as the scammer came up, he said that he was a staff member of a certain platform and could tell you your name immediately and accurately tell how many u you purchased at a certain time. Some friends were fooled by this. First of all, everyone needs to know that exchanges generally do not contact you proactively, so do not believe those calls that say you are from a certain platform. The official website usually also has a certification phone number. If you encounter this situation, you can verify it first to avoid being deceived by scammers.
If you encounter this kind of phone call, just hang up. The staff of the exchange will not take the initiative to contact you. If you are on OK, or if Binance encounters recharge failure, recharge to the wrong link, or other problems, you can contact you to make a deposit. Brother, there is someone above Brother Chong.
6: Telegram group arbitrage scam.
There are many such groups on Telegram, usually ETH is exchanged for BNB, and now there are also names such as Binance Chain interest-earning. The groups are full of stooges. Dozens of accounts take turns talking about making money and maintaining capital. In order to gain Xiaobai's trust, the scammer even made a slick video and a complete brick-moving process! Everyone must keep their eyes open and stay far away.
The process of moving bricks is nothing more than transferring ETH into an account, and the account will return you HT (now BNB), and you can earn 5%-15% per order. You tried to buy 0.1 ETH, and BNB was actually given to you. You also tried to rush into the exchange to sell, and the currency standard increased a bit. Continue to add and find that BNB has not entered as expected. Ask the group owner why. The group owner tells you that the contract is stuck and another payment is needed. He scored twice. After the game, he found out that he was kicked out of the group.
There are also many people who use the slogan of teaching zero Lu airdrops to attract novices and then commit fraud!
7: Contracts exploded on second-tier exchanges, and Pheasant Exchange ran away!
Now, if you want to play with coins, you have to go to Binance! Brother Chong sees that the rest are all second-tier exchanges (Brother Chong from abroad will not analyze them). Try to choose domestic ones to play better!
Recently, there has been a large-scale fixed-point blasting of 2400W by Huobin Pin. There were also many exchanges that ran away last year, such as Hufu, and they are still defending their rights!
In the past few years, it was very common to bring people to small exchanges and take orders to make contracts and liquidate positions. Now it seems to be a lot less common. They all operate intranets, draw K-lines at will, and analysts will take you to play with contracts, and you will lose money. From now on, I will split the money with the exchange, usually 85% or 90%, and the loss will still be leeks!
8: If you have a mining machine, you can make money while lying down.
The BZZ mining machine and the FIL mining machine, which were very popular in the past few years, have made everyone miserable. The promotion of mining machines generally says: make money while lying down. Buying a mining machine is equivalent to buying a mountain of gold and silver! Some blockchain projects want to allow investors to mine and hold coins by selling mining machines. This method IMO has been characterized as a "disguised ICO". To put it bluntly, it is to trick you into buying a mining machine first, not to mention the value of the mined tokens! The later hosting fees and operating fees alone can screw you up! Big miners have already launched G! If you don’t understand, just don’t get into the mining machine industry!
9: Primary market private placement scam
Private equity scams. Many small communities, or those with only a few groups, sell credits for various king-level projects at low prices online, such as the recently popular sui and a series of high-quality primary market projects. They themselves There is no quota, the delivery is empty, or the channel is unreliable, and a series of other reasons lead to the failure to get the coins, or it may take a long time to get them.
The primary market private equity market is definitely very good, and there are many 10x coins and 100x coins in it, but you have to keep your eyes peeled when you choose the track, currency, or community and institution to invest in. First of all, you must consider the strength of this community. Strength speaks in the currency circle, so don’t be dazzled by interests.
10: Counterfeit money
Now there are still people who pretend to be the project team and issue counterfeit currency to harvest the project team’s leeks! (The PI that was previously listed on Huobei was) Sun Cut cut, come on! Take advantage of the popularity and consensus of the project! Many leeks who were interested in this project believed it and thought it would bring some benefits. Who knew when they rushed in and found out that they had bought a bunch of fake coins with real money, they felt like crying.
The highest price of PI when it comes online is 320. It has already dropped more than ten times. Those who are stuck at a high position will basically never be able to get out of the trap in this life!
11: Over-the-counter OTC scam
Many people who charge U at high prices or sell U at a lower price than the market price in Telegram groups are either black Us or black money. Every year, there are people who make appointments offline and are left penniless after being cheated! To put it simply, pie will not fall from the sky, only traps will fall! A few days ago, my conscience was that I was defrauded of 80,000 U.S. dollars by an online guarantee company! I couldn’t control it! From spectator to prey!
12: The transfer address of Binance Android APP was changed to the hacker’s address
Last year, this coin theft was very rampant, due to Guo Jia’s control! As a result, it is difficult to download the Binance APP through traditional channels, and it is easy to download fake APPs. Once the user installs the fake Binance APP, the functions do not change when the user logs in, and the malicious code function is located when the user recharges. When the user switches to recharge, the malicious code rule is triggered and the user's recharge address is replaced by the hacker's address. Do not use search engines to find Android APPs. For example, search for "Binance APP download" on Baidu. Basically, they are all fake APPs. You must download the APP from the official website.
Binance official responded:
1. It is recommended to use Google incognito mode to access the official website
2. When recharging assets, compare the recharge address displayed on the app and the recharge address displayed on the computer web page to see if they are the same.
3. When withdrawing assets, confirm whether the address entered for the withdrawal and the email notification address are the same.
4. After confirming that the address is correct, you can first make a small deposit or withdrawal.
13: Liang Xi’s recent exposure to OTC card freezing incidents! (Brother Chong also heard about it)
Roughly speaking, the OTC merchant will record your bank card when making a large withdrawal, and then work with JF to freeze your card. Then you will find the merchant. At this time, the merchant will say that there are channels to unlock the card, but it requires several levels of funds. Then the OTC merchants and JF share the money equally (Brother Chong is also a loser, I have never encountered this before)
14: Add friends privately in WeChat group to guide you to invest
This is very common in various WeChat groups. They usually package themselves as professional teachers, or fans who follow a certain teacher to make money. They use the packaging in the circle of friends and the gorgeous language to seduce you step by step. When playing with her, there are usually more avatars of beautiful women, and more avatars of mature uncles.
Anyone who adds you in the community group will be ignored. If he is very awesome, he is very powerful. You won’t join our community group, big shots don’t have that much space. If you have any situation or feel something is wrong, please ask the management, and the management will give you guidance as soon as possible! (Anyone who adds you privately will be treated as a scammer.) Either they are thinking about your money, or they are coveting your beauty.
Summary: I wonder if you have noticed it? Almost all scams take advantage of the weaknesses of human nature, so they can always successfully deceive some people. In fact, as long as we are not greedy and do not take too much luck, no one in this world can deceive us.
Today, Brother Chong revealed common scams in the blockchain. There are some scams that Brother Chong cannot say much about. They will touch some people’s cakes. You can only click as far as you want. Some words can only be clicked until you understand. Everyone understands. Don't ask, because asking means you don't understand the rules!
There are some things that cannot be said, Brother Chong will write them down in the books published by Rise Community!
