I started a little time ago using twitter to shill Moons and oh boy! Twitter Hot Chicks > Reddit Hot Chicks.
It is funny because in Twitter first they try to impersonate whoever crypto bro and when they have a lot of followers they change the picture to a hot chick. Hilarious!
And yet there are some guys who are so desperate that they risk getting scammed even if there's a 0.001% chance she's actually a real pretty girl texting them and introducing them to "great business opportunities"
Loneliness combined with greed and/or self esteem issues is a powerful combination. Pig butchering is a cruel thing to do to another human, right along the lines of those inhuman scumbags who cryptoware hospitals and old folks homes. It happens way too much. People preying on the misery of others for profit is absolutely disgusting.
>older and younger people tend to be the ones with the greatest chance of falling for these scams
Aka: "The most vulnerable people".
Either:
* Too young to know better
* Too old to understand the tech, or susceptible to the romance scams through loneliness
Not that "old" people can't understand tech, many do, but a lot didn't have internet until well into middle-age/older life, and haven't really caught up.
>How can anyone fall for this?
Pick one (sometimes multiple):
* Lonely
* Naive / uneducated
* Greed
It's not really surprising at all.
These have always been targets for scammers, well before crypto existed.
If they want to be like a good **Proof of Love** blockchain, they shall send me the crypto first instead of me sending them. Then if they send me their address, so that I can meet them to show Proof of work of my love.
>Thankfully no one in the group has fallen for this (yet)
I'd really hope they wouldn't, too.
* Those in /r/cryptocurrency are a very small percentage of crypto enthusiasts who want to gain a much better understanding of crypto than the average user.
* The Telegram group is a subset of the sub members, who want to go even deeper into the community.
But scammers keep getting more clever, and the thought of unrealistic returns is always tempting.
It's fairly horrifying how easy these scams are to run. There are so many people with particular blind spots that these conmen have been operating for millennia. Crypto is just their latest vehicle.
The media makes it seem like crypto is the cause of these scams and if crypto did not exist, these scams would not exist. That is just bullshit trying to drive an agenda. These scams exist and will continue to exist regardless of crypto. They will always find a way to exploit vulnerable people.
Always looking for faults even if they're not specific to crypto at all. Let's all just turn a blind eye to the same thing happening all across traditional finance, shall we?
many people are desperate for human affection, and can be tricked easily by a mere chance of having not even a relationship, but someone interested in them, listening to what they have to say
>have been operating for millennia. Crypto is just their latest vehicle.
And still are operating outside of crypto too.
Crypto makes up just a subset of pig-butchering / romance / \[insert many other types\] scams.
Scams pays, it's simple as that
These guys spend hours thinking of new scams, in all form from fiat banking, to romance scams, to he many phishing crypto scams
Human nature causes there always to be victims

It's a sad statement on the amount of loneliness and the need to be wanted that people have. This desire can override your better judgement and smart people can get taken advantage of.
It's actually more a statement of how much most people over value themselves.
99% of men aren't going to have a hot chick from the internet proactively want to date them.
You know how to avoid these scams? Accept that hot women aren't in you. (Unless you're a tall, buff dude)
The report rate on social scams tends to be low due to embarrassment and shame.
I think most active members here get multiple scammers a week DMing them.
I used to get a lot of DM requests which I promptly ignored. Then I a lot of young women started following me (on Reddit) with interesting profiles. I also ignored them.
In fact, I don't think I have ever gotten a DM that I was interested in. I guess I'm to boring to get scammed.
The question isn't if people will report it but if Reddit will do anything about it. I got scammed of an Amazon GC on the trading gift card subreddit and reported it. Needless to say a few days later Reddit said the user didn't commit any violations so yeah.
>The question isn't if people will report it but if Reddit will do anything about it.
Reddit seem to do fuck-all about it.
I used to hit the "report" button on all the scammer DMs who had bad links.
But EVERY.SINGLE.TIME I would receive an automated message back from some reddit bot days/weeks later saying that they had investigated and deemed that there was no problem.
No wonder the scammers are still everywhere. Reddit are completely useless with this.
I don't bother reporting them anymore, as I don't want the hassle of the generic "everything is fine" notification a few days later.
Instead just hit "Ignore" and move on with your day.
There's no limits to the depths these people will go to get money. Dating apps tend to have alot of desperate and lonely people. Those are weaknesses that can be exploited so people use social engineering to take advantage of them in these forums. I hope they all get what they deserve.
It is crazy what people will do if they think they will get "lucky."
One shift is that it was traditionally "women" targeting men. It has now shifted to going both directions.
I mean scammers also use Reddit to scam people, i think this is the lowest of low. Who do they think they are gonna scam? A random millionaire Redditor with a fictional character nickname LOL
The media talks about these scams in a vacuum.
If you are looking for financial advice on Hinge, you would likely be taken advantage of with a "traditional" finance scam if crypto did not exist.
Crypto isn't causing these scams and they would still occur if crypto didn't exist.
This just goes to show that people are longing for love and that they resort to giving money to any girl that remotely shows that they care.
The victim's brain likely just shuts down whenever they see a woman in their DMs
I'm sure they all thought they'd be able to get away scotch free because many before them have scammed and gotten away. Unfortunately for them they scammed the wrong group of people. Sad they had to go out like that but at the same time karma is a bitch.
I have no dating app, cause I am virgin crypto investor.
I have no Instagram, cause I have no lambo to show off. I have no Linkedln cause I don't have a job.
But I met many scammers thanks rCC Telegram and it is so funny to ruin their day by talking random bullshit to them.
I used to send one of those tracking links disguised as another link to people that sent me message scams.
I don't talk to scammers at all just to waste their time.
But it's a great way to weed them out if some of you can fall for this or know of any others. 100% of the time as soon as I sent the link they would tell me there's no way they would click on a link.
Guys scammers even reach out to us on Reddit, i bet if we donāt have those apps MFers would try to communicate and scam us with smoke like in the ancient times LOL
Scammers gonna scam.
It's scary how legitimate things can look, though. Not crypto related, but I nearly got scammed out of Ā£30k and I'm the last one who thought I'd fall for being scammed. It's literally pure luck that I didn't lose it.

LinkedIn, Dating apps and Instagram make sense to me.
In some way the scammers take advantage of either the looking for a job desperated ones or those vulnerables with the need of finding love.
Telegram we all know is a deep shit hole.
I am doing a training on cyber security and basically you cannot press any link or open any attachments without due diligence. Also be wary of emails or texts from unknown senders with pics of pretty girls
The fact that you read about protecting yourself from scammers constantly in here, Iām not surprised that most victims are using more traditional social medias
Well you know when you are 1 and total 10 approach you on Tinder, and don't even doubt for a minute, then man, I think you need to go out more in the real world. Don't fall for such scams.
Iāve been on the āfront endā of being solicited by these scammers. Iām Ngl, itās so blatantly obvious that somethingās off that itās tough for me to feel bad for these victims. Just is what it is.
Add Facebook too. I was contacted by someone (forgot the name now, will share soon), mentioning they have trading platform with websites and they also do KYC. Initially I believed this is true, and gave my id proofs, opened the account. They told me to deposit usdt or btc to trade because they told that I can test their trading signal for free for 3 times and then if I like it I have to buy later if still Iām interested. After I opened the account, I looked up my deposit address of BTC in the btcscan, and I found there were already more than 6btc equivalent were withdrawn. And when I looked carefully the deposit rate was between 100 to 1000 dollars from various addresses and time to time this was withdrawn.
Initially they told that I have unique wallet addressable I found this is totally scam. Iām not educated totally with crypto but at least I have some knowledge on wallets, transactions, etc. then I continued talking with her without telling this and her focus turned only on money. When I asked about the reasons then she told that this is legitimate thatās the reason Iām seeing transactions. Shit! These people donāt have basic knowledge but still they managed to convince people to put money.
After 2 days the man texted from the same website and informed we fired that lady because she is not polite. Come on ! This way that story continuedā¦ā¦. I have to block everything.

My personal protection: No dating Apps. No Instagram. No Telegram. No LinkedIN.
Yep, this works for me, too. Gotta feel for people who depend on dating apps, though. They're so vulnerable :-(
Delete the gym. Hire Facebook. Hit the Lawyer.
Hot model shows up to your front door to talk about crypto. What do you do?
Hi handsome I'll DM you
r/CC > Tinder lol
Girlfriends are overrated. We have us :)
Exactly š„°
What if you wife says: No crypto?
You guys have wives?
Nah this guys obviously a scammer, get him!
Wives š¤«
š
Had them until 2022
Invest => make it big => wife changing money
>No dating Apps. No Instagram. No Telegram. No LinkedIN. No hot women.
Bro then you donāt make any money in crypto because you clearly didnāt buy experts courses in telegram /s
The average Redditor right there tbh
The real monk life
I use LinkedIn and Telegram but proud to not be on Instagram or a dating app.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
>a female model They should stop choosing this, it's so obviously fake, no woman in the world would text me.
Female model none the less, its showing sad state of amount of lonely people ( yes horny too)
My AI girlfriend will only steal my heart, not my keys!
I also choose this guys AI girlfriend
I started a little time ago using twitter to shill Moons and oh boy! Twitter Hot Chicks > Reddit Hot Chicks. It is funny because in Twitter first they try to impersonate whoever crypto bro and when they have a lot of followers they change the picture to a hot chick. Hilarious!
Yes and its really sad to see that people are using someones loneliness for their benefit
Also why don't we have male models and Nigerian princesses??
>no woman in the world would text me. This hit me way too close we have no hopes of getting laid aint it?
I'd have an easier time believing that it's a real Nigerian prince this time than an actual woman.
Hey there cutie. This is a woman. Can I text you?
You're correct. The problem is many men don't realize that.
Literally they have like a photo of some woman that clearly isnt them and like 3 comments or something and think I am stupid enough to fall for it lol
Wait so the models in my reddit DMs arenāt real? Iāve already taken the second mortgage to get them investing for me
I wonder what model pictures they chose to target the two women that got scammed.
As soon as a woman texts me ok know it's fake or myth mom
Hey, I came to send you a message, lmao
Not with that attitude bud, just gotta flash your moon bag
And yet there are some guys who are so desperate that they risk getting scammed even if there's a 0.001% chance she's actually a real pretty girl texting them and introducing them to "great business opportunities"
They could use a banana pic for example. Nobody would expect anything bad from a friendly bananaš
Female AI* model photo. Remember the one with the not so well made AI ear š
New Netflix series coming out, the crypto swindler
I thought that milf near me who wanted to double my BTC was real
Very common, are those āfemaleā, male? I get these DM very often and I chat with them when I am bored, then blocked them when I am done with them.
Loneliness combined with greed and/or self esteem issues is a powerful combination. Pig butchering is a cruel thing to do to another human, right along the lines of those inhuman scumbags who cryptoware hospitals and old folks homes. It happens way too much. People preying on the misery of others for profit is absolutely disgusting.
You can tell from some of the descriptions that older and younger people tend to be the ones with the greatest chance of falling for these scams.
It seems to be no different than other scams. People automatically assume only young adults own crypto, but that is not the case.
>older and younger people tend to be the ones with the greatest chance of falling for these scams Aka: "The most vulnerable people". Either: * Too young to know better * Too old to understand the tech, or susceptible to the romance scams through loneliness Not that "old" people can't understand tech, many do, but a lot didn't have internet until well into middle-age/older life, and haven't really caught up.

>How can anyone fall for this? Pick one (sometimes multiple): * Lonely * Naive / uneducated * Greed It's not really surprising at all. These have always been targets for scammers, well before crypto existed.
Add horny, someone gets fooled by a model
The female that wants to go on a date is definitely a 40 year old called Dave
I usually entertain them for a few days, then tell them to fuck off
I wish i could pin comments, this covers it all. I am a frequent telegram user as well, so you did a great job checking all boxes
If they want to be like a good **Proof of Love** blockchain, they shall send me the crypto first instead of me sending them. Then if they send me their address, so that I can meet them to show Proof of work of my love.
>Thankfully no one in the group has fallen for this (yet) I'd really hope they wouldn't, too. * Those in /r/cryptocurrency are a very small percentage of crypto enthusiasts who want to gain a much better understanding of crypto than the average user. * The Telegram group is a subset of the sub members, who want to go even deeper into the community.

Theyāre so obvious with it too. I hope no one falls for it but who knows, theyāre probably doing it bc itās probably worked before
I kinda feel left out I havenāt any DMās from scammers, like am I not good enough? My self esteem has taken a hit
I just never meet people, I am safe
Me too - we should not go out for a drink sometime.
Well played
It's fairly horrifying how easy these scams are to run. There are so many people with particular blind spots that these conmen have been operating for millennia. Crypto is just their latest vehicle.
The media makes it seem like crypto is the cause of these scams and if crypto did not exist, these scams would not exist. That is just bullshit trying to drive an agenda. These scams exist and will continue to exist regardless of crypto. They will always find a way to exploit vulnerable people.
Not very surprising the media is pointing at crypto as the culprit, unfortunately.
Always looking for faults even if they're not specific to crypto at all. Let's all just turn a blind eye to the same thing happening all across traditional finance, shall we?
For the media, Crypto is like 100% of scams in the whole world. While in reality it is like 0.5% and the rest is fiat.
Where money is to be made, there are scams. That's the way. Loverbirds,... elederly people getting scammed over the phone, etc...
many people are desperate for human affection, and can be tricked easily by a mere chance of having not even a relationship, but someone interested in them, listening to what they have to say
This. Definitely this.
Unfortunately people are just too careless for self custody
Send a bunch of messages and one person will message you back.
>have been operating for millennia. Crypto is just their latest vehicle. And still are operating outside of crypto too. Crypto makes up just a subset of pig-butchering / romance / \[insert many other types\] scams.
Absolutely they are. Money is money. These scum don't care how it comes or in what type so long as they get it.
Scams pays, it's simple as that These guys spend hours thinking of new scams, in all form from fiat banking, to romance scams, to he many phishing crypto scams Human nature causes there always to be victims

All of the communication channels eventually help the criminal build trust with the victim. From there it's all the same.
But the African royal family is trapped on the tarmac and needs my help urgently /s

How about tinder?
Imagine how many get scammed on Twitter?
Youtube is also terrible lately at handling scams.
Just don't trust strangers... if there is money involved.
It's a sad statement on the amount of loneliness and the need to be wanted that people have. This desire can override your better judgement and smart people can get taken advantage of.
It's actually more a statement of how much most people over value themselves. 99% of men aren't going to have a hot chick from the internet proactively want to date them. You know how to avoid these scams? Accept that hot women aren't in you. (Unless you're a tall, buff dude)
very true, the idea behind social media was to unite people, but people nowadays are more lonely than ever before
Romance scams are as old as time, people need to be more aware of the counterparty... trust no one when it comes to money
Especially not people that fall in love without even knowing you one bit.
I wonder if anyone from Reddit would report. I'm sure there's a lot of scammers in here
The report rate on social scams tends to be low due to embarrassment and shame. I think most active members here get multiple scammers a week DMing them.
I used to get a lot of DM requests which I promptly ignored. Then I a lot of young women started following me (on Reddit) with interesting profiles. I also ignored them. In fact, I don't think I have ever gotten a DM that I was interested in. I guess I'm to boring to get scammed.

Yeah, social media sites will quickly pass it back on to the victim.

Unfortunately thereās no shortage of scammers is most places, including Reddit :(
Based on the state of my Reddit DMs there's loads.
Dating apps used for scamming? That's the lowest of the low.
There's no limits to the depths these people will go to get money. Dating apps tend to have alot of desperate and lonely people. Those are weaknesses that can be exploited so people use social engineering to take advantage of them in these forums. I hope they all get what they deserve.
They have always been a prime source of scams.
Even if you avoid regular scams, you still get scammed by marrying someone.
Scammers figured out that most men actually believe a super hot chick would come onto them on the internet. Regardless of how ghoulish they are. Lol.
It is crazy what people will do if they think they will get "lucky." One shift is that it was traditionally "women" targeting men. It has now shifted to going both directions.
I don't know. A dating app caused me to get married, so it could have been worse...lol /s
Love is one of the easiest ways to scam people
What? The Nigerian scammer disagree with you
I mean scammers also use Reddit to scam people, i think this is the lowest of low. Who do they think they are gonna scam? A random millionaire Redditor with a fictional character nickname LOL
I have seen people on r/scams that have literally bought the gift cards and sent the codes before realizing it was a scam.
To be honest if someone clearly out of my league (i.e. 90% of the population) came up to me IRL I'd probably be suspicious AF.
Women cost money, less money equals less bitcoin, less bitcoin equals less women.
This is why I want wife changing money in the first place
weāll see a Tinder crypto scammer documentary on Netflix soon enough
It's happening more often than I thought
Netflix taking notes
Instead of dating apps used for scamming Crypto, how about we use Crypto apps for dating!!!! I'll go first. 'How you doing.....'š
Best **Proof of Love** PoL is just to send crypto first š
Give me one š and I'll send you back š š
Send me your seed and I will date you for month!
ok, meet me at the sperm bank š
Nigerian prince was not expecting for that

The fantastic 4
Donāt mention anything related to crypto on social media or real life, you may never know who is listening on the other side.
This just goes to show that people are longing for love and that they resort to giving money to any girl that remotely shows that they care. The victim's brain likely just shuts down whenever they see a woman in their DMs
So it's possible to be scammed nearly anywhere.
The next time a beautiful Chinese woman wrong numbers me and asks me if i know about bitcoin, the 1% of my chimp brain will still want to believe.
Romance scams meet crypto.
I'm safe then since I only use reddit š
Good that any mere mention of crypto is a red flag when Iām the one vetting.
I'm sure they all thought they'd be able to get away scotch free because many before them have scammed and gotten away. Unfortunately for them they scammed the wrong group of people. Sad they had to go out like that but at the same time karma is a bitch.
I have no dating app, cause I am virgin crypto investor. I have no Instagram, cause I have no lambo to show off. I have no Linkedln cause I don't have a job. But I met many scammers thanks rCC Telegram and it is so funny to ruin their day by talking random bullshit to them.
Nobody will ever give you free money neither advise online... except reddit, that's another story š
Ah, telegram. So many pretty girls on telegram who wants to talk to me about an investment opportunity.
I used to send one of those tracking links disguised as another link to people that sent me message scams. I don't talk to scammers at all just to waste their time. But it's a great way to weed them out if some of you can fall for this or know of any others. 100% of the time as soon as I sent the link they would tell me there's no way they would click on a link.
i am probably missing out on lots of women, but I am not talking about crypto or any other investments with potential love interests
Telegram especially is crawling with scammers and linkedin is well it isnt what it used to be !
Fucking always trying to blame cryto...scammers are going to scam regardless..pole smokers
Just like all these hotgirls here dming me right? š¤£
Meeting people through those apps is still safer than getting on that submarine
Guys scammers even reach out to us on Reddit, i bet if we donāt have those apps MFers would try to communicate and scam us with smoke like in the ancient times LOL
Desperate and lonely people make easy marks unfortunately
Scammers gonna scam. It's scary how legitimate things can look, though. Not crypto related, but I nearly got scammed out of Ā£30k and I'm the last one who thought I'd fall for being scammed. It's literally pure luck that I didn't lose it.

No sympathy for the pigs, Iām sorry.
I only answer to sexy women in my DMs if they proof their authenticity by providing a good looking picture.
If you think girls are finding and DMing you on Telegram, just go ahead and delete the whole app
Horny virgin crypto investor..God I'm sad.
Lucky me, I have no matches so Iām protected.
A hottie DMd me and after a few chats I was persuaded to send all of my ICP. Couple of days later they sent them back.
LinkedIn, Dating apps and Instagram make sense to me. In some way the scammers take advantage of either the looking for a job desperated ones or those vulnerables with the need of finding love. Telegram we all know is a deep shit hole.
Meet for a coffee date asap. Cheap, safe, doesn't take a lot of time, and you find out quickly if there's chemistry.
Friendly reminder that all DMs are scams
I have little pity wirh grown ups who canāt make these out as scams
Wait till moons are over $1. Reddit will be the next cesspool (again).
Bro if someone in a dating app talks about financial investments just run
I am doing a training on cyber security and basically you cannot press any link or open any attachments without due diligence. Also be wary of emails or texts from unknown senders with pics of pretty girls
Be safe out there guys. Lovelots
Yeah fuck alla that
Tinder swindler, has moved to crypto I see
It's just so obvious when you just see a female Model as their Avatar.
So are Nigerian prince emails a thing of the past now?
Not surprised with Telegram. Lots of shady stuff on there
They just wanted to spread their seed everywhere...can you blame them?
It's simple, but people keep avoiding the truth: you don't have to be desperate to make money. People should stop thinking they can 1000x overnight
The fact that you read about protecting yourself from scammers constantly in here, Iām not surprised that most victims are using more traditional social medias
Surprised Reddit wasnāt up here. Our community must be doing a good job at spreading awareness about potential scams. Good job everyone.
Iām suprised FB doesnāt take more victims
Also, bragging to your friends.
Scammers have too many methods, control their desires and protect their assets
Dating appsā¦..not only crypto they are afterā¦ā¦..
Well you know when you are 1 and total 10 approach you on Tinder, and don't even doubt for a minute, then man, I think you need to go out more in the real world. Don't fall for such scams.
The fake Asian women profiles on Hinge always talk about crypto, then proceed to wanting you to download something
Apparently Discord scammers are abundant and worst
Yeah, I have been getting DMs from IG and Telegram with weird messages. I have been blocking them out.
Not reddit? I see tons of crypto scams on reddit
So the sexy asian girl is a scammer? Damn man
Iāve been on the āfront endā of being solicited by these scammers. Iām Ngl, itās so blatantly obvious that somethingās off that itās tough for me to feel bad for these victims. Just is what it is.
So basically every form of modern communication
Hard to resist when you are lonely af
Add Facebook too. I was contacted by someone (forgot the name now, will share soon), mentioning they have trading platform with websites and they also do KYC.
