BitFinex Telephone Scam - Watch Out!

in bitcoin •  7 years ago 

With prices raising we are having more and more scams pooping out. BFX is a top exchange (literally) and lately fake phone number appeared in many places, where after calling you will get their "staff" infect you with malware.

The number is shared in a way "ive obrained number so you can speedup tickets" and from what i heard its really sounding professional when you call. Do not do that, theres only ticket support and due to loads of people its delayed.

BitFinex is No1 Volume for BTC Worldwide

Thanks for the valuable post and it will be very useful to many people.

This modus has been used many times before but still incredibly effective. Thanks for sharing!

sucks how many scams are out there and how little is done about it

Scammers seem to have moved from banking scams to crypto scams. Recently poloneix issued a statement saying there is an poloniex app in Google play store and it don't have any relationship with the developer or app and now Bitfinex. 😂

Support at a crypto exchange? That's a red flag lol

thanks for share @kingscrown

Thanks for looking out for everyone. As crypto currency grows, the amount of scams will continue to grow.

very sad and bad situation. thanks for updating about these bulshits. GOD bless our community.

It is sad that these people try so hard to scam people out of money, when they could just create an account here and post original content and get rewarded. Scammers like this really are the scum of the earth.

Thanks for this post. I’m fairly new to the crypto world and learning new things every day from post like yours!

Always disappointing when people resort to being the lowest common denominator for a fast buck.

I’ve noticed many exchanges do not have phone support. While creating a legal and ligament one can be tough and profit margins are not as great as they use to be. I can only imagine sooner than later call centers will be wanting to get in on cryptocurrency by providing phone support for such things.

What a shame this person(s) did not spend their energy on something more productive, rewarding, and legit.

Thank you for letting everyone know. It is very much appreciated! I am a newbie to Steemit and I thank you for this info. I am upvoting and following you. Thanks again! I look forward to your posts. ALL THE BEST! :)

im sure in 2018 the scams will only increase and become more complex

Ohhh my god. I have to be very careful. I have to get 20 BTC trust.

The rapid change blockchain technology is bringing in the history of the internet, people aren't being educated fast enough to avoid things like these. Primary schools should have special lessons about networks and their risks and benefits. What do you think a solution could be for this problem?

Congratulations @kingscrown!

@kingscrown They'll be more stuff like this...sadly ! The target for the success of this type of scams is greed. Do you agree?
