[I'm With Stupid]

To anyone still holding cryptocurrency be on guard, I’ve just came so close to being scammed it’s scary.

Got an SMS from Binance message last week saying,

New device connection detected in Paris, France. If it is not you, call us immediately at 44 (2) 3824 41340.

I checked my account straight away and all my funds were still there, so I changed my password logged out and didn’t really think much of it.

About an hour ago I got another SMS message from Binance,

Your withdrawal code is 173517, if you did NOT authorize this contact us immediately on +448001026743

When this message came in I was caught off guard as I was working but obviously concerned so I phoned the number on the text and a woman answered “Hi this is the Binance security team can I start by taking your name please” then discussed with her the messages I’d been receiving so she said give me 2 minutes why I look into your account, about 20 seconds later she comes on saying your account has been compromised, how many assets do you have in your account, have you given your password to anyone else, have you logged in in some other location I was like no I haven’t, then she was saying we need to secure your account asap please can you tell us the funds and what the current values are, I said luckily I don’t have much money in this account as I transferred it to a more secure account, she said what account is that please because under legislation we are all linked to one and another so we need to know as a matter of urgency to secure your account, I said it’s crypto.com the next minute she’s on ‘a call’ to crypto.com about my account and she can now confirm that account has been compromised as well, she said we need to setup a trust wallet asap as your account is at risk, alarm bell’s started ringing at this point and I said I will speak to crypto.com directly after I finish the call with you and she was like that is very risky as you may lose all of your money before you can speak to them

To be fair, that's not a crypto scam, that's a good old-fashioned phone scam. Could easily have been a normal bank account.

I like silver and gold, the feel and the touch of them is supperb.

Scrooge McDuck influenced me greatly in my early days.

I was on to him early doors when he was swimming through his coins like it was water.

Fraud of a man is McDuck. Clear as day your neck would snap if you dived into the coin pit head first.

McDuck would be all over the crypto pump and dump scene.

Interesting reading the first post on this, because I bought gold for my wedding in September last year. Since then, it's gone up 20% on the price we paid. It's easy to look at volatile things and assume that you're going to make a fortune indefinitely. But I have no doubt that the long term gains will be far more modest.

Hope you kept hold of your gold - it is now worth around double what it was in Sep 2023 when you bought it.
