The rate of scam that has been happening in telegram seems to be increasing day by day and i was surprised with this strange strategy adopted by scammers so i decided to share it to prevent more people from falling victim. I recently stumbled across a post on a telegram group where a user claiming to be having difficulty withdrawing his funds of $270 USDT from his wallet to Binance and seeking for other people’s help to withdraw the funds.
This is an old tricks and I thought people have grown past this level. The operate this scam by draining the TRX of whoever attempt to transfer the USDT as fees. This is similar to the recent iron airdrop that they scam each of the people that attempt to swap the token about $12 in Matic.
This thread explains details about this fake airdrop.
I will continue to advice people to apply wisdom all the time. Anyone that have a way of earning USDT should be able to know how to send it, and it takes only someone greedy to fall for this scan.
Yeah, I have read the same case like this in the forum several months ago so this kind of strategy to scam people isn't new at all. But, it is still a good thing to remind people to be warry about the old and new tactics of scammers so that we can be reminded about the scamming tactics of these wicked people and at the same time inform newcomers.
I believe only people who have ill-intention of stealing those funds will fall victim to that scam so I think that serves them right to get scammed trying to steal other people's property though I say that this kind of activity is still wrong.
Scammers are the smart ones?
No, they are not. They are pretty stupid.
They are not stupid but wicked, stupid are someone who lack intelligence or common sense while wicked use their wit to do evil deeds.
