Every... Day... Scams
62 sats \ 4 comments \ @kepford 6 Feb bitcoin_beginners
I get scam emails pretty much daily. Many days multiple times a day. Pretty much if I get an email about bitcoin I delete it.
I'm sure no one here would fall for this but NEVER give your seed phrase to anyone. Full stop. Most scams are more clever than this one but tell your friends to be vigilant.

I got a good one saying I’ve been a dirty pervert and they have recorded me feeding the chickens to some very bad material essentially
Then they said I had to pay them x amount in litecoin of all things
So I guess that in itself shows they haven’t broken into my phone as I talk bitcoin only

Ha! Yeah they can be creative. Imagine being one of these people doing these scams. Crazy stuff.
Sadly some people fall for this stuff. I have a plan to do some classes on helping avoid getting scammed or hurt by this stuff in the near future in my community. Not specifically about bitcoin but it will be a part of it. I firmly believe we need to be helping our own communities and break down the isolation the Internet rewards.

It definitely happens some of the scams are half clever and I could see it happening to people not suspect on every single thing they see

https://haveibeenpwned.com/ always use specific aliases for emails and if you see it pwned just remove that alias.
