Can this be true or are they just trying to play on my intelligence? Let me tell you, yesterday I was browsing the internet when something popped up as a notification on my phone, and when I checked, it turned out to be about getting 1 free ETH for just buying ETH. I thought it was just a marketing tactic until I went to the exchange that talked about it and I saw the same.
Remember that 1 ETH is now $4,300. Do you think they're so generous to that extent to give people rewards for just buying, either on spot trading, copy trading, or simple deposits? Anyone of these is allowed in order to get a good reward.
I haven't heard of anyone giving away 1 Ethereum during this time. Usually, if you read about something like that, it's a clear tactic used by scammers.
So you should also be vigilant, OP, as this is a time when it's not easy to earn money.
Instead of others thinking they can get money, they don't know that they might be the ones getting scammed. And how they'll do it, for sure we won't know
because we are the very target of these scammers.
