Well, it all started yesterday when I received a message in Telegram from this supposed exchange.
They told me I received a prize in Bitcoin of approximately
0.38 (about
14 000 USD).
The message I received from them told me that it was very easy to withdraw funds:
Нow уou can сollect уour winnings?
1.Register аn aсcount оn thе ехchаngеr:
http://bit.ly/xlmcahype 2.Gо tо settings
3.Yоu can аctivatе thе рromo cоde on thе «Sеttings» -> «Referral prоgrаm»
4.Withdraw BTС tо your addrеss
5.Dоne
But it was not as easy as expected. I can only withdraw funds to external addresses if I make a deposit of
200 USD from that address.
It sounded suspicious to me. So, I am not going to make a deposit to try and get that
0.38 BTC because I probably will not get it (but surely they will get my
200 USD).
