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 scam type is very old one and you are new member in the forum, this market so welcome to your discovery on this scam type.
They used same scam type in the past, like I can not withdraw my bitcoin from an exchange because of many reasons, and I need your help to withdraw it. If you can hep me to withdraw it successfully, I will give you 50% or any good bonus.
Scammers are the smart ones?
No, they are not. They are pretty stupid.
It could be an old trick, but a lot of users are still falling for it, and I so much believe there are Others in this forum who don’t even know about the trick. I particularly don’t know about the trick till of recent, so it not right for you to just right the post off like you did. You could have just enlighten me more about the trick than saying I’m a new member in the forum, you were also new here years ago too.
Being new or old in the forum doesn’t have anything to do with your knowledge about bitcoin. There are people with versatile knowledge about bitcoin and are not in this forum so chill and speak reasonably.
The only set of people I see falling for this type of old trick are the greedy type - a decent human should know that there is no free money online and the fact that someone exposes something that is meant to be kept hidden should already give them hint that there is a catch somewhere.
The first time I encountered this was in a Facebook group - just like yours, the user claimed to be a newbie and that he got the usdt(in trons network) as a gift and he doesn’t know what to do with it - he shared the mnemonics for all to see and then I noticed that all money that gets sent into the wallet(to be used as gas fee) are immediately swept off to a different wallet.
