    Crypto scams

    A few months ago I was targeted/added to a list on Twitter. This list was named Early Access, and a link provided on that list led me to a very official looking site (pirated logos etc) where I could buy the new $AMZ coin before it was released to the public.

    I reported the list to both Twitter and Amazon, never heard back from either, and never saw the ad again.

    Tonight I was added to another list.

    The link offers a 2 to 1 return on your crypto instantly. Send 1 bitcoin to the wallet posted, receive 2 back. Ether as well.

    (The link is still live if anyone wants to peruse. Regardless, i screenshot much of it for posterity. )

    I was impressed by the response from crypto.com. I reported this scam to the company using the normal Twitter feed. Almost immediately I was followed by @cryptocomCS (customer service account) and asked to supply more info.

    I know no one here would fall for this shit, but I suspect that many mutts do. This scam has a lot of potential imo.
    Be aware.

    These scams are all over....

    YouTube Live videos where they have an old clip of Vitalik speaking and they say send x ETH and we'll double it as a giveaway to promote eth.

    Anytime you check the wallets, some poor bastards actually do it.

    I get at least a few DM's a week on IG for this type of dumb ass shit.

    this is often the scammers 'seeding' the wallets so they appear more convincing as fomo bait.

    Did you let Druff, Daly and China know about $AMZ before you posted this?
