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 have similarly experienced with your friends and it's on telegram, anyway, due diligence is very important Cryptocurrency is decentralized when you sent it that's it no third party for you to file a protest, it is important that we are educated on how scammer works just like how we educated ourselves on how cryptocurrency works.
Indeed, this is very common in telegram private chat. There are a lot of scammers there keep convincing you that you can earn a profit on that gambling site by helping them but the truth is they are sending a link with a malware-infected link which is they can lead to hack once you bite a bait link. Well, just use our common sense here if we found out something fishy then block that user and never trust any given link or even in social media. Trust only here in the forum if you are a crypto gambler enthusiast.
