Scammer tried to scam me but I tricked him and scammed him instead.
<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>So up until today, I've got 3 scammers PM me and say that they own a company and that they can increase my profits (this is the most basic type of scam imo.) I made a post some time ago about one of them, <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/olhryu/someone_tried_to_scam_me_if_we_want_crypto/">here</a></p> <p>The scammer who PM'd me today was incredible stupid. Like...the stupidest of the stupid.</p> <p>Here is our convo: <a href="http://imgur.com/a/eDk7ZSU">http://imgur.com/a/eDk7ZSU</a></p> <p>He said that he owns this website - eclisetrades.com and asked me to make an account there and deposit 2 BTC. (lol)</p> <p>I asked him to send me 0.0001 BTC as proof that he is legit, and then when he sends me, I'll deposit 2 BTC in his website, I registered to his website just so he gets convinced. Don't worry, I opened it in a browser that has no passwords or anything saved and opened it in incognito tab, as an ex-webdev I know what data someone can and cannot steal.</p> <p>and he.... LITERALLY, being the stupidest scammer of all time, sent it to my address.</p> <p>I don't really care about the free $4 that I got from him, the best part is that I wasted his time. He could've used that time to successfully scam someone.</p> <p>By the way, this is my new address that he sent the BTC to - <a href="https://www.blockchain.com/btc/address/1P9s7qn4eLCwJyMWo7RE1vDAHarHM2EXPz">https://www.blockchain.com/btc/address/1P9s7qn4eLCwJyMWo7RE1vDAHarHM2EXPz</a></p> <p>And this is the scammer's address (he asks people to send BTC to this address on his website, too, and his latest transaction is him sending me BTC) - <a href="https://www.blockchain.com/btc/address/169Jt7BTHRA2MRNP5ADbmhDmxcTyMozTPV">https://www.blockchain.com/btc/address/169Jt7BTHRA2MRNP5ADbmhDmxcTyMozTPV</a></p> <p>It's really sad that he has received over $12K worth BTC and sent all of that out to others. I don't know if he's got all that money by scamming or something but I hope karma gets him.</p> <p>Please be aware of scammers, if someone PMs you saying that they are a company and can increase your profits or anything of that sort, either block them or waste their time, just don't get convinced and send them anything.</p> </div><!-- SC_ON --> submitted by <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/YoCrustyDude"> /u/YoCrustyDude </a> <br/> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/owdrqe/scammer_tried_to_scam_me_but_i_tricked_him_and/">[link]</a></span> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/owdrqe/scammer_tried_to_scam_me_but_i_tricked_him_and/">[comments]</a></span>Kind Regards R
