CryptoCurrency Scam Adverts - Post Your Experiences Here

[Inquisitor]

Since lockdown I have been lucky enough to be getting a deluge of spam emails mostly from Bitcoin scammers. Some are comical in fakery and I thought it would be good fun for anyone to post some of them here. Here is the first and I will post more as they arrive and notice how the scammers couldn't even get "The Sun" newspaper spelt correctly:

And another where the statement that it is not a high pressure sale is the exact opposite of what it is. I just missed out on this as I wasn't able to get to my email in the 15 minute time scale that I was given to reply.

If you've not done so already, have a listen to BBC's "The Missing CryptoQueen" podcast series about the scam that was OneCoin. It's gripping stuff.

I am now being offered free Bitcoins and notice the grammar isn't right. Can it get any better? I expect so

Congratulations!

Interesting thread, thanks. If Ed Sheeran's in then so am I.

Actually I don't want a yacht but if I do sign up can I just get the pretty ladies?

We can all become millionaires and it is guaranteed with $13K in just one day. I wonder if anyone who falls for this rubbish wonders exactly where the money comes from?

........ and there's silly old me, earning my crypto's the hard way with proof of work, one minuscule fraction of a tiny share of a share at a time.

But to think I could be mega-rich overnight if only I could get in on one of these schemes scams.



As to why anyone with more than a dozen or so brain cells gave any money to the missing crypto witch from OneCoin ...
... well perhaps their blood was mostly flowing to their smaller head.

Clearly interest in becoming a millionaire and Bitcoin must be losing steam as the message I posted on June 11th where only 3 copies were left are still available 12 days later.
