@truckertrash13 sure brother I will be happy to . We put up posts regularly regarding scammers and who to look out for . There are couple ways the bastards will use to try and get you . One is just sending a copy of our list they took off the site and emailing some of our customers the list from an email that looks very close to ours . They normally change one letter like Pharmhgh @ proton . one that was really throwing people off is our other email for the other forums we are on is pharmagh1@proton that’s out legit email but the scammer changed the 1 to a lower case L so it looked like this pharmaghl@proton . Unfortunately he got a few guys. we post about it right away as soon as we know there is a scammer lurking.
The other way they will use is Phishing . They will send you an email with an attachment . often its a very legit looking email . Many times they will make a page that looks exactly like proton . so you think your being contacted by your email provider when in fact its the scammer . I don’t call them hackers, That would be giving them to much credit . Phishing is hardly a hack. But if you click on the attachment They will immediately gain access to your email. They can go in and change settings and lock you out , But often they want you to be able to have access. Then they just sit and wait. They are very patient, but once they see you have emailed us to place an order, They go to work. They will intercept the email and send you emails back posing as us. so the customer thinks they are speaking with us but they are actually talking with the scammer. we don’t ever get the emails. If they can get you to place an order, they will send there own BTC address and once you send payment they are gone. When you look very close at the address line in the email thread you will see its an email that looks like ours but is off by just a little
So the takeaway should be to never click on any attachment from anyone unless you know the email and are expecting something. Always check the address lines in the emails to make sure they match the sources actual legit email. Using the website will eliminate any doubt. just make sure you have the correct URL and it is in fact our site and your GTG.
Always Triple check everything is a good habit to get into . especially with what we do. There are many ways for scammers to get you in this . always triple check the BTC address. BTC wallets can get hacked. A very common way is picking up malware somewhere and it messes with your clipboard . so when you go to copy and paste the address you want to send bitcoin to they have installed there own address onto your clipboard so if you don’t double check the address after you have copied and pasted you will send your $$ to the hackers address they have installed on the malware as apposed to the actual address you wanted to send it to. Always keep your guard up guys. These scammers are relentless and will wait until your guard is down and when you least expect it
