Fake crypto exchange?

[VinnieK]

Hi..

Someone dropped me a message on Twitter with a promo code etc.

It was for a crypto exchange site 

I registered (email only) and was awarded a staggering 0.75 BTC ????‍♂️

Is it a common scam?

I did a whois search for the site and came out very suspicious

Only on operation for a week 

Also...I don't seem to be able to redeem or transfer that BTC to another wallet.

Like I said, my skills in the crypto biz are very basic.

Maybe I'm doing it the wrong way

Any help appreciated

I am sure it's legit. People give me $22700 all the time.

I got an email telling me that a withdrawal of $325 from my Coinbase account had been made. I had nothing in the account to take!

Did it sound too good to be true? ????

Yes. Following scam twitter links is doing things the wrong way!

 

You've identified several red flags in your OP. Knowing all the evidence you have presented us, you really shouldn't even need to ask if this is a scam.

They will ask you a fee upfront to be able to withdraw, just delete everything its scam for sure

I believe Coinbase is a scam company because I recently got a message from legitimate Coinbase email server (I've checked headers and IPs) telling that my account "will soon be suspended", but I have never registered on Coinbase!

And they were not addressing me by name or nickname, just "Hello," as scammers usually do.

It means that the only information they have about myself is an email address, and most likely they got it from bitcointalk database leak.
