What? A large-scale scam incident has occurred in the so-called Binance official TG group!!!
This morning I opened TG and found myself pulled into a Telegram group named Binance Exchange Group by a stranger. There are over 10,000 members in the group, and the chat appears quite legitimate. The page icons are identical to the real Binance, and when I opened the member list, I found many familiar Binance staff members, such as He Yi and Ya Ya. Upon checking the chat page, they proudly claim to be organizing a mining pool staking activity, sending 1 ETH to the scammer's address: 0x4f8cDA73966aEb8fFEE2713Dc7ad4CB6f1B01E3b, and you can receive about 7 BNB after 30 minutes. The staking is unrelated to the rise and fall of ETH, and the smart contract automatically adjusts the exchange rate based on market conditions. Currently, their new address has already scammed 8 ETH recently, and I don’t know how many people they scammed before.
Upon closer inspection of the chat page, you will find that if new members in the group do not have wallets like TP, imtoken, or exchanges like Binance, OKEx, Huobi, etc., they will enthusiastically send registration links 🔗 and guide you step by step on how to register, recharge, or exchange fiat for ETH. After careful comparison, these wallet or exchange links are all legitimate; this is also a tactic used by scammers to “lure the enemy deeper.”
As an old investor, I can tell they are scammers just by looking at their chat records. For those pulled into the group, they will scam anyone they can. The other chatting accounts in the group are all part of this gang’s various scam accounts. The reason I am bringing this up is that I have a brother in my small group who said a few days ago that he was previously scammed. The operation was exactly the same as described above. He first sent 0.1 ETH to the scammer's address, and the scammer immediately returned 0.15 ETH to his personal wallet. Then he continued to transfer 7 ETH over, and after that, he went silent...
In fact, the scammers' tricks are very low-level. Many brothers get caught up in the moment 🥵 and are confused into being scammed. Remember: If a project can make money publicly, then it definitely is not a money-making project.
