In India btc is very new concept. Only few peoples are use cryptos and exchanges. They know BTC but don't familiar with the term of cryptocurrency and blockchains. So this is the time when Scammers play their tricks.
In middle of 2019 when I was new in this crypto platform I joined a whatsapp group where I got a message from a man who offers me a btc,eth any crypto doubler site, I fall that trap but in less time I got the scam and block him. Although many sites who offers some dollars and get our kyc documents which is I think is a scam.

Unfortunately, there are still gullible people. Especially those who crave easy money. In hope, people do stupid things, give up their data, security keys and scammers still thrive! As long as there are fools, there will be new schemes! Once my friend was offered to split the income from an Internet project in which 3 bitcoins were frozen. The person needed an Internet bank card for cashing out, He believed that they wanted to share with him!) As a result, the account data was changed and he lost access to his card forever! Be careful and do not believe in luck!) Nobody just gives anything!

People are gullible but the scammers are also pretty innovative. Finding bitcoin and Ethereum for the first time on the internet can led you to believe a lot of people. Greed is your worst enemy but so can be over enthusiasm. I got almost scammed when i believed a guy on OLX offering to sell GPU's at the same prices as that in the US, even though they were at a 50-70% premium on all normal Indian websites like primeabgb, mdcomputers etc. The guy was from Pune and he sent me elaborate receipts, pictures, videos of the cards etc.

@Spectr Max, I see that the BTC bullrun may have brought you to the forum. We are always looking for newbies who can engage in good discussion and think for themselves on the Indian sub. If you are from around these parts (and have no issue in declaring so), then you are welcome to post an intro post on this link. Don't give any personally identifiable information. Just some tidbits about your experience with crypto. People like giving away merit to good stories there.
