Crypkey Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 (edited) Hi all sadly and stupidly I allowed myself to get scammed out of some XRP. I was gutted and feel a bit stupid tbh - so feel free to give me a kicking in this thread . Since I got scammed I have bee trying my hardest to stop anyone else getting scammed by these scumbags, including: reporting their channel on youtube, Leaving comments on their youtube channels blacklisting their multiple sites to google and WOT getting bithomp to label their accounts as fraudulent - which they have done I'm also trying to get registered on the ripple forums to see what I can do there (but I never receive their account activation email, so can't login and register) I notice on bithomp they sent 400XRP to Binance. Is there any way I can work out their destination address they sent to so I can contact Binance to see if they can help in anyway to track these people? Thanks Edited April 26, 2019 by Crypkey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Standard - I did not engage brain before actions. Classic - send x amount of XRP to receive 10x XRP back Can't see me getting my Zerps back but I'm trying my hardest to screw these people over, so others don't fall for there scam - others have fallen for it too as I've seen transactions from others people too So here is how I let myself get scammed. I checked twitter a couple of days ago and saw a tweet from an account I follow - turned out it was a replica account with an extra underscore - it went on about getting XRP. The tweet linked to a youtube video with something like 250 comments about how much they'd received on this XRP giveaway from Ripple. So I fell for it. I went to a website which gave me a destination address and tag and proceeded to send some XRP. It's safe to say I received nothing back - and that's it.

Crypkey Posted April 27, 2019 Author Share Posted April 27, 2019 (edited) Currently, I have reported 3 accounts to Bithomp to get them labelled as fraudulent - of which 2 have been. Really sad someone has sent one of the accounts a 1000XRP just today Edited April 27, 2019 by Crypkey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
