Warning about receiving DM on discord about winning Bitcoin

[Grant]

A word of warning. I received a couple DMs on Discord recently, with a message stating I had won 0.15btc (bitcoin) for being a member of a bitcoin discord server, which equals out to $8,000+. They included a promo code and a site for how to enter. I knew it was a scam right away, but wanted to share the details to everyone here. If you receive a message like this, ignore it, block the person that sent, and report it to Discord if you can.

The site they pointed to in the DM was called cryptopye. I checked the site details and it looks to have been created just last month, so that's another sign right there. I won't link to it, as I don't want people to actually access the site, as it's probably got problems of its own.

Anyway, I just wanted to warn you all. Because I think it was a mass DM kind of thing, so many people who use Discord may have gotten the same exact message.

Hi there! Has there been an update if this was found to really be a scam? As I also received the same message and tried to register on the website using a dummy account.

People have to be very careful with what they believe when it comes to bitcoin. There are a lot of ways scammers use to get away with people's hard earned cryptocurrency

If you are new to this crypto currency world, you are an easy target of scammers because you tend to believe actually you own bitcoins and you need to send some bitcoin in order to receive your prize.

Thanks for dropping this information here. A lot of people would have fallen for that scam and it will definitely let some of them lose money which is very bad. I really don't know why people are doing that

 

[Setho]

Not just on discord forums it is very important for people to know that there is no way that you can be able to win free bitcoin online without working for it so they should not even bother.

 

[Alexandoy]

Thank you for sharing this experience about a DM on the prize of winning Bitcoin. In the online world the scammers can freely do their thing because there is no regulation. You can create your website today and use it to scam people tomorrow. On the next day you can delete your website. No trace huh.

Scammers ate simply everywhere trying to steal peoples hard earned coins or fiat money. Their is no social site where you won't experience any act of scam.

Scammers have been targeting users on Discord, the chat server platform popular with gamers, by offering them free bitcoin or ethereum on a fake exchange platform.

Thanks for sharing to us your information about cryptopye in discord. It serves as a warning in advance for all of us.

I have also received email in my google email account that I won this or that cryptocurrency. I often find this message in my spam inbox.

I don't really have a discord account but I think it is important that people become very careful about the kind of links they click on every social Media platform.

Those things are not true and there is no how that you will be able to mine cryptocurrency to a reasonable amount of money with a mobile phone or even with the laptop. Is just a cheap scamming strategy.

Most times it's not just about being greedy, there are some who might be new to these online things and how it works, so they might end up becoming a victim. Some people are just very trusting.

I've already said about it earlier here too just as you've remunerated again. It isn't possible to mine real cryptocurrency using a mobile device, unless you're doing tasks for some websites to generate traffic for them. Then they can decide given you some fraction of coins for your services so far.

Yiu couldn't be more right, it's only those who wish to get more money they had nothing to do with that fall preys to something like this it's better to use a good secure exchanger to avoid these scam direct message.
