BenriBIT Advance Fee Scam

over 4 years ago (Edited)

I won BTC 0.33 in a giveaway! Yeah!

Today I received a DM on Discord from @BenriBIT:

The website is very recent (3- days old) and the registrar is namecheap.com

Nibbler visited the website for me.

A giveaway from a licenced cryptocurrency exchange looks legit...

It's an advance fee scam

Just deposit 0.1 btc to unlock your prize

Don't be trapped. Always do research before browsing to a website you don't know.

I was offered 57 LTC. A friend searched for a while and came to the same conclusion as you.
Hands away from such offers :-)
