VinnieK Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 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 Screenshot follows Any help appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KannikaP Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 (edited) 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! Edited April 12, 2023 by KannikaP 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had nothing in the account to take! 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.
