The bots in this thread. LMAO. One comes, asks a question and a dozen queue in line to promote a scammer.

Makes blocking the lot slightly easier. But I still have to do it one account at a time.

I wouldn’t click on anything nor help anyone! Thank you yes you report

I'm not into crypto at all, but just from the phrasing of the question, it seemed fishy to me. Like someone saying in non-crypto world, "Hey, my account at Anybank needs to move to another bank. Here's my debit account number and PIN."

You can check if a comment is actually gone for everyone or just you, by opening the same page in private mode so that you can see what everyone else does. You might also notice that your own comments are hidden from others, if you commented about a touchy subject.

"Just ignore it" isn't a bad mantra for a lot of stuff which happens both on- and offline.

[@georgewitte3548]

Yeah, I've seen those comments on several channels and I report them. Some of the commenters also appear to be porn-bots if you check their (usually recently added) profile pages... So, maybe multiple modes of phishing! 😆

If you have the seed phrase can't you just drain the wallet yourself I wouldn't do that under normal circumstances but since these people are trying to scam people

[@simonrobbins8357]

So can’t you just log in to their account and withdraw any balance rather than adding to it? Seems the obvious thing to do😂 is

I'm not averse to helping random strangers online but this is a step too far. As it seems, people are either too trusting or are themselves greedy. It should also be suspicious because, no matter how naive someone might be at tech, surely they're not so naive as to make their first point of call a random public forum such as KZbin. Ask a trusted friend or relative first, or just look at the FAQ of whatever service you're using.

I call those types of scams Midwestern scams. Not that they're from there, but they're looking for people that are friendly and helpful by nature. Things we have a lot of in the Midwest.

Crapto who'd thought it was crooked. Maybe Brad Pit needs help, please send money tight away.

Hi, Leo. Thanks so much for this video. I've been seeing them myself, and since I am completely clueless about krypto, I figured it had to be something scammy. Ironic that the exact video addressing this has a comment section full of Krypto bots. I guess they are attracted like flies to.... Well, you know the next part. :)
