Alerta para consumidores
Ayer, unos estafadores les piratearon las cuentas de Twitter a algunas personas con alto perfil para enviar tweets falsos pidiéndoles a los seguidores que enviaran dinero usando Bitcoin – un tipo de criptomoneda o dinero digital.
Ahora, las estafas de criptomonedas se han convertido en una manera muy corriente por medio de la cual los estafadores engañan a la gente para lograr que les envíen dinero. Y surgen de varias maneras. La mayoría de las estafas con criptomonedas puede presentarse en la forma de emails que tratan de extorsionar a alguien, esquemas de referencias en cadena o falsas oportunidades de inversiones y negocios. Pero esto es lo que todas tienen en común – y lo que tienen en común con los ataques a Twitter perpetrados ayer: Un estafador quiere que le envíes dinero, o le hagas un pago, con Bitcoin u otro tipo de criptomoneda. Y una vez que lo haces, tu dinero desaparece, y, por lo general, no hay manera de recuperarlo.
Así que si ves un tweet (o un mensaje de texto, email u otro mensaje en las redes sociales) que dice que pagues con Bitcoin, ya sabes que es una estafa. ¿Otros signos que indican que es una estafa? Podrían garantizarte que ganarás dinero (esas garantías son falsas); prometerte que duplicarás tu dinero rápidamente (otra vez se trata de una promesa falsa); o decirte que obtendrás dinero gratis en dólares o en criptomonedas, (¿dinero gratis?, no, nunca, jamás).
Si detectas una estafa con criptomonedas, repórtala inmediatamente a la FTC en ftc.gov/queja. Para más información, échale un vistazo a Lo que hay que saber sobre las criptomonedas.

I don't believe in everything I read, or hear. If I think it's a scam, it
probably is 99% of the time. I hear a lot on television about scams
going on, during this (COVID-19) year. Where people have loss their
jobs, due to this affect. And having a hand time trying to get unem-
plyment due to it. THANKS AGAIN! for posting this.

This is all the same type of stories I also have. They all have a few things in common. First they want money. They call it investment then after a few days they say you have a profit. From there they try to use that number which is usually over $1000 to extort more money from you. This is when it becomes a crime. Extortion is very serious. It's happen to me more than 30 times before I realised they are all the same. None are going to pay you not even $10. Infact they will take your money when your being evicted from your home promising you they are going to make it all better. It's just a scam. I just wish so bad I could call the cops or someone that can stop these people.

It's been a month that someone named "Garrick Henry Marcus" phone number +1 (256) 472-1875 told me that I need to invest for my future. He told me to invest $100 but I told him I don't have a job and I can't. He made me convinced so I pawn the pendant of my necklace and I sent him $20 through PayPal. There was an error in terms of reason of the money that it should be for "friends or family". The money was successfully sent but the receiver forwarded my money back to my account. Henry told me that I need to use coins.ph so I did. I gave him my credentials to log in in that app so he can process right away. He keep asking for additional $50 way back then and just yesterday I sent $50 as what he told me that I can't get my profit if I didn't pay for the transaction fee and I can't get $1000 if I didn't pay additional $50. I don't know what to do now. Haven't slept well last night because of this. It might be a small amount ($250) but it's very essential to my family. I regret everything and if I could just turn back the time, if I've known earlier what kind of person he is, then I didn't add him as one of my friends.

A girl named Isla Hanna (on LinkedIn) lured me to their AstraTrader Bitcoin Investment. She has a good profile (looks professional) and has a social media following so I believed her. She contacted me using LinkedIn and asked me to install Telegram, where we communicated. After creating my bitcoin wallet account, she asked me to send my initial investment to her, claiming it will grow in a couple of hours. After sending my money (converted to bitcoin), she can't send the promised returns to my bitcoin wallet. She said that there was a crash in her system, and she mentioned that there is another way - via blockchain.com, and I need to deposit another sum of money to facilitate her deposit via blockchain.com. The total amount I sent is now close to 3000 USD, and I still yet to receive the proceeds. Now, she does not respond to my messages.

This same thing happened to me. Exactly same story like you.i invested around 400 USD .he said you will get 4000usd profit. After one or two days guy contacted again asking for 1000 USD to release the profit .I told him I don't have anything to pay you anymore. Rather you pay the amount and deduct it from my profit,he's like that's not possible, then after bargaining guy started asking to pay atleast 250usd to release my profit. But I didn't I was aware that I am scammed which I regret ,but I didn't let them fool me further
