Scam

Post by on_one_wheel » 08 Jan 2022, 11:26 am

Check this scam out, it was sent to me from an email address that was in my own name, a copy of my own email address as to try and fool me that it came from within my own email account.
It seems difficult to report easily, too bad bitcoin wallets are difficult or impossible to trace to an owner, just another reason bitcoin is so sketchy.
To me it was obviously a scam for several reasons,
I did reply with "nice try, but you won't be receiving a single f#$king cent from me" however the email bounced as the address had already been deleted.
If only they were willing to meet face to face for a "cash" transaction :lol:

Re: Scam

Yep, I had that one maybe eighteen months ago. It might actually work on somebody that does naughty things, so it's just playing percentages. It cost them no more to send it to one person as to ten thousand people.

If Bitcoin were honest you could try sending the wallet address to them, they would shut it down, the authorities would seize the contents, no more scammer. Bitcoin is as crooked as these scammers.

God old bitcoin... owned, run and managed by no one. Personally I think it should be outlawed until it's cleaned up.
If I were to scam someone using my bank details for payment, I'd have yhe federal police knocking on my door within the week.

Bitcoin is good. We need decentralised currency and to have less government in our life. Bitcoin allows this. People that put value on a piece of plastic that the government says has value or a number on a screen at a bank do not understand the value of money.

Perfect for criminal enterprise, does nothing for the rest of us. It's no different to casinos. Without government controls our monetary value would be dictated by the billionaires and would fluctuate by the minute...not that it isn't already. Without stability nobody would spend a cent and enterprise would die. Why buy a rifle today when it might be a quarter of the price tomorrow.

Bitcoin is a store of wealth. It has value that people put on it outside of the government controlled monetary system. .

Not to mention countries have cash limits on what people can bring into the country. But with bitcoin it can be sent to anyone in the world.

The government uses a debt based fiat currency system that is no longer tied to gold. So they can print as much as they like devaluing it. At least with bitcoin there can only ever be 21 million(it is capped) and each bitcoin can go to 8 decimal places.

Accountability to whom? I don't really understand what you mean.

Bitcoin is exchanged from one party to another for an exchange of services or as a gift. The government does not need to be involved in peoples transactions.

I like knowing that what that my $1000 will buy me today will be the same tomorrow, and not very much different in a year.

Bitcoin is driven by greed, just like casinos, greed helps nobody.

And how is that of any value to me, I'm not interested in sending vast amounts of cash to Nigerian princes, and I don't need them sending it to me either.

Bitcoin is driven by people wanting to get out of the governments control and have their wealth stored in a decentralised system away from the banks. Why use a bank middleman when you can be your own bank?

Bitcoin is trending upwards and will only ever go upwards over a lengthy period of time.

$1000 sitting in the bank loses purchasing power overtime due to inflation. I remember as a kid buying things with one cent. Now I struggle to think of things that are around the 1 dollar mark.

Sure, but the value of the dollar rises with the rising cost of Goods, back in '78 a Giant Sandwich cost me about 60c at the school canteen, but I had $5 in my pocket, now it might cost $3 (I have no idea) but I probably have $25 in my pocket.

We bought fuel on Thursday which was $1.84/Litre, back in '86 I paid about 40c/Litre, but the actual dent it puts in my pocket is no different - because it is controlled.

If Bitcoin is actual wealth why not keep it in your pocket?
You don't have to use a bank. You prefer Bitcoin because you hope enough people buy into it that your wealth will increase with no effort on your part, or more simply, because of greed.

Pathetic cowards. Weak as piss. About 5 years ago I had a local clown ringing me and hanging up 100 times a day and texting me threatening to kill me and everything else , but mostly he would text his threats ... but if I ever text back “ok let’s meet somewhere “he would get shy ....and if I anserewd his phone calls he would hang up because he didn’t even have the balls to talk to me. Just a phone conversation with me was too much for him ....so how am I suposed to take his death threats seriously if he can’t even talk on the phone to me. ? He was a total joke

impossible. It is an open source code that is encoded in Bitcoin's source code and enforced by nodes on the network.

I don't profess to be a cryptographer but it is impossible to create more bitcoin. The network is not setup that way.

It has wealth because people believe in it. No different to any other store of wealth. The only thing with bitcoin is that it has a finite amount.

Not just that, in Australia the ATO knows when an Australian buy or sell bitcoins as they force the exchanges to divulgethe info to them... so how is it anonymous.

How do you access your fiat in the bank when the bank shuts down? Remember a few years ago in Greece where they could only withdraw 60 Euro a day per person as there was a currency shortage.

Just because you have a number on a screen at the bank does not mean the bank has that currency there to give you.

With interest rates as low as they are having currency in the bank is reckless. You actually lose purchasing power keeping currency in the bank.

Gold is still king and the only form of money. Everything else is fiat currency. Yet the new contender bitcoin has arisen to be part of the asset class.

Its called cash in your pocket. Can you pay your mortgage, rates, insurance, groceries, etc with bit coin? Do your wages get paid in it? Why is that do think?

So draw your money out of the bank keep cash, people still do, more since the Greek fiasco. Still safer than Bitcoin.

Of course fiat currency is needed in the society we live in to make day to day transactions. However living in the fiat world should be minimised as much as possible. If you get paid weekly take what you need to survive then transfer your currency into other assets such as gold or bitcoin. Even so called “fine art” is a good asset class.

I highly recommend against keeping large sums of fiat thinking it is a store of value. It will become worthless.


Rich people around the world own things. They own property or assets. They do not hold onto fiat.

Bitcoin's 'value' is far to volatile at this stage to serve as currency or a medium of exchange. One property of sound money is it holding value over time.
It is a speculative asset at the moment with millions of people hoping to ride a wave to riches without creating or exchanging anything of real value.

I don't like it's absolute reliance on third parties to function either. Power goes out, it no work. internet goes down, it no work. Computer says no, it no work. Want to transact in a place with none of these, it no work.
Real physical money can function anywhere.

Bitcoin is not really designed as a currency. It is too slow to process a lot of transactions. It is better suited as a storage of wealth.

There are several other cryptocurrencies such as Litecoin that are better suited as a means of transactional exchange.
