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.
Not only in telegram but the rate at which scam is advancing in general is alarming and this makes it more necessary for us to be current and updated in order to be a step ahead of these scammers. Your experience in Telegram is outdated format that scammers use to outsmart probably fellow scammers in the past but few people might still be falling for this trick. I encountered it in Telegram too and have many similar messages in my Twitter inbox, it's not only happening in telegram but also in other social media platforms.
It's like a robbery scene where armed robbers are being robbed by another armed robber because the larger percentage of people importing the wallet intended to steal the funds from the wallet not knowing that the wallet has a bot configured to move out the TRX you deposit before even attempting to make any further action. The crypto industry is very wide to accommodate both genuine people and others with double standards, it is good not to attempt to interact with coins you don't work for.
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.
I agree with you that for someone to earn USDT should be able to withdraw it but I beg to differ on the last part of your statement. While I also believe that plenty of people willing to steal that funds for one reason or the other, I do believe there are still honest and innocent people out there whom might be willing to help sincerely and end up being a victim. We can not conclude that they are greedy too simply because they offer to help a scammer ignorantly.
I will also advise to keep distance from any funds you don't work for to protect yourself from things like that and if you choose to help, teach the person how to do it by themselves and never agree to do it from your end.
