The way is way rocky in the business of Crypto as you most likely will be Scammed, so try to not Cry over Scam, dont let them do that to you, ever.

 

This is to tell you about the danger with CRYPTO. Be careful, very so...

 

Crypto is not all bad at all, but the people working behind it are very bad, some of them. So be aware you most probably are going to get a ride of your lifetime and probably loose a lot of money, crypto or FIAT.

Crypto is that kind of money that does not have any backup in the real world. FIAT that is dollars, euro and others.

This worldwide scam that started with positive initiative of Elon Musk then turned sour because a lot of scammer, bandits and others come on the rope and just wanted to scam all the money you ever had or got, I will get to their tactics later on.

The old saying that if they make it very fast, demand fast action and rush you, then it is a scam 100% sure. 

If they make you do the same thing repeatedly and you lose more and more money, it is a scam.

If they don’t work by the rules of the legitimate banks like Blockchain and Binance and Kraken and others it is most likely a scam.

Blockchain and others who are real entities, never call you. They have listed their email addresses that they use and nothing else. When they on support say that some funny email address is a scam then it is, believe or lose money.

 

These are just some of the scam addresses:

Wilton Option, person there who scammed me is "Esther Leib".

Her WhatsUp is +44 7362 051300 or something else. https://wiltonoptions.com/

Person "Neo Goodman", let me believe he sort of worked for Dex-Trade.com, but apparently did not.

His WhatsUp number is +447360 257865 or something else.

Crypto1Capital, real strange scamming company. https://crypto1-capital.com/

for ex this email is a real scam: blockchain.exchange.general@protonmail.com

it seems to be Blockchain but is not. It is a real bad scam all of it!

And others…

 

Then, they sometimes when they have got enough money scammed of you they change their email a little so you would not get to them anymore. Fro ex:

First it was: e_leib@wiltonoption.com then some time after I did not pay more they change it to:

e_leib@wiltonoptions.com, just a s but changed it was.

 

How do they work.

  1. Hello we are here to help you. Invest and get huge profits. What is your goal? We can help you reach it. And so on… They get you interested and feed on the human idea of greed and easy money.

  2. They put you up with either crypto coins or FIAT exchange where you seem to do all right. Mostly because it is bots that do the trading and the price goes up a little by little.

  3. Sometimes in the future you want out. Then interesting things happen.

  4. Even if the FIAT account seems to be doing bad you are rewarded with a nice profit, but.

  5. And here comes the second scam. You have to pay up the same amount or sometimes 20% of the total sum in order to get your own money out… This is scam number two.

  6. They say that the first payment was wrong or did not come through... send as bitcoin instead and that does not work and so on....

  7. They say that the 20% must be paid of a sum of bitcoins that high you never thought that could be made from initial investment.... did not pay

  8. They have sent the converted coins in this case CRCH of Dex-Trade through an intermediary, what? And then the money or btc is safe and waiting to pay the 20% fee??? Did not pay that either...

  9. Then the CRCH coin at Dex-Trade suddenly fell to almost zero from 1.4 crch/usdt. As did WXO do some months ago. Price hike upwards  was bots....

  10. The CRCH coins where paid as stated through an intermediary to my on "Binance account" put put on hold until I would pay up 20% in order to release my own funds! This was the doing of this persosn "Neo"

  11. After lengthy argument this person "Neo" said he would pay 50% of the requested amount to these guys who wanted the money, well If I had paid my 50% he would have made a large profit again, well well.

  12. Wilton Option was a deal with different currencies and it went down until I wanted out, then sudden 50% gain, and they wanted same amount as getting out fee... with these guys blockchain.exchange.general@protonmail.com

  13. And the story goes on. I let it go without me. 

  14. Writing this so that if someone reads this they might learn not to be falsely led och too greedy to loose all their money... or money at all.

This is what blockchain says about this:

From Blockchain:

Fake Investment Proposals – This type of scam may ask you to “pay a fee” or “pay a tax” in order to release a bigger amount of funds to you. The scammers usually refer to official authorities such as the SEC or other institutions. Fraudsters can go as far as to forge official-looking documents or fake ID cards. 

Please note that Blockchain.com will never initiate communication about paying fees or taxes in order to unlock some funds on a cryptocurrency wallet. If you have been approached by a party that claims to be part of Blockchain.com and asks for payment of taxes, assume they are scammers and report these attempts in our Support Center here.

Fake Refunds – We do not provide refund services of lost funds from third-party platforms. If someone asks for payment in order to recover/refund lost or previously scammed funds from third-party platforms or old forgotten wallets, then this request is definitely a fraud. We would never ask you to pay us for such a service.

Platform Clones – Be cautious of modified URLs such as b1ockchain.combl0ckchain.comblockchain.io, etc. Make sure you are using our official website with the correct URL to access your account. The login page of the Wallet platform is https://login.blockchain.com/#/login and of our Exchange platform is https://exchange.blockchain.com/trade/login

This applies to Binance as well.

 

Email addresses that are good and real for Blockchain are only these:

newsletter@email.blockchain.com 

notify@wallet-tx.blockchain.com 

notify@exchange-tx.blockchain.com 

no-reply@blockchain.info 

support@blockchain.com 

exchange-support@blockchain.com

salesforce@blockchain.com

prime@blockchain.com

surveys@blockchain.com

on binance their email addresses should always end…. binance.com

 

and always put on the marker for antiphishing on incoming emails from Binance, Blockchain and other trusted sites, and your own words there.. it helps to know if it is ok.

 

Then the story continues…

You get unhappy with paying them more and more and they say this and that went wrong and they cannot pay to you because it is not compatible with bitcoin or with FIAT or something else.

And sometimes you pay more. Just because you think it all will come back to you. And somehow you trust the person in the other end who convinces you that just in a moment you get what they promised.

Sorry you are scammed and you will never see your dear money again.

What to do? Cry and be scammed. Take a glas of good wine or a glas of Brandy. Try to swallow the good drink and start to forget the things you got involved in and never again do anything like this because:

 

If it seems too easy, it is too easy, and it is never letting you get the money easy. You end up with nothing!

Scammers are sometimes behaving nicely, but when you tell them that no more money/btc and you want your money/btc back and what the heck, they most likely get real ugly! And for sure it is always your fault!

 

Be careful out there on the internet! I know, I was there, I am one of them, who got scammed real bad.

Dear User,
 

We are happy to have you as our User. We do believe you feel comfortable with your money here.

 

We would like to apologize for the long delay of the reply.

 

We are getting back to you regarding your transaction (Smart Contract case 7178132........) in the amount of 0.bb BTC which is bb69.46 USD (bb17.91 EUR).

The funds due receivable on your account originated from an unidentified mining pool, which has flagged the transaction.

Due to the fact that several transaction attempts have all resulted in failure to get confirmed, we have decided to provide an option of converting the BTC to Fiat currency to our users who have the same issue.


Converting this BTC to Fiat currency on the internal network requires 20% of the whole amount [0.0xx BTC] to be submitted as a conversion fee.

The required amount needs to be submitted on a wallet specifically created for one-time use:

 

3PhEPFYNegyBoncKjcNTD9qUvDuxxxxxx

 

Once the designated wallet receives the required amount for converting your BTC to EUR, from our side all the measures will be taken to guarantee the safe and timely delivery of your funds to your Binance Wallet.

It is strongly encouraged to start the procedure as soon as possible, in order to avoid any unexpected complications along the way.

 

Kindly ask you to notify us as soon as the transaction has been completed.
