My friend recently get scammed by a gambling site which he found by continuously browsing. On internet. Sorry but even he cant remember the name so i cant tell you but here's what you wouldnt do. He said he was searching about how cryptocurrency gambling work. He is much aware about bitcoin but not about using it for gambling. He find some "yellow botton" he said which offers gambling for newbies and the rest is history. Goodbye $200 . yes thats kinda bit small but should you wait that it happened to you with a bigger amount? Here's what you would do.
1. Dont click and browse non recognized site to avoid phishing.
2.. Always ask first the people on this forum whether the site is legit or not.
3. Dont put too much money on that site so if ever its really a scam, the amount it can get is minimal.
4. If it looks really legit, try some few games with few bets at first.
Being cautious costs less than not being aware at all. Dont let our greediness and dumbness takes over our financial life. Be safe people.
I'm very sure that your friend is plain lazy or naive that scams are always present in the virtual world. Nowadays, people look for proof for some sites before they try it. But I just don't get if he gets hacked by phishing or deposited that amount then never got to use it to bet and gamble.
it is not surprising that he still does not know anything about virtual world and will definitely enter into a phishing link, it must at least be experienced by ordinary people and with that experience that will make him have experience for the next day to be careful, however many gambling sites here from casinos to sports and all are trusted in this community
