Free Bitcoin on Discord? It's just a scam!
Credit: Kaspersky In fact, it seems that some people have been contacted promising them BitCoin or Ethereum in exchange for registering with a new trading platform. On the surface, the site on which you are directed seems really legitimate and full of all those functions that one would expect to find on such a portal, complete with an adaptive layout, an attractive design, information on exchange rates and more. . In addition, multiple information is requested during registration in order to successfully pass the identity check and even enable two-factor authentication. So far, everything seems absolutely credible and users willingly agree to make a small deposit to verify that everything is in order.
The problems, however, start when trying to move the "reward" received for registration in your personal wallet. In fact, it will be impossible to carry out the operation. At this point, the bad guys who created this scam will claim that they need a top-up, the amount of which, of course, will be lost forever.

Kaspersky advises never to trust strangers, especially if they promise to give you money, and, above all, first check the authenticity and safety of a site before sending photos and personal data.
